🌟🌟🌟It is so amazing to know that the Singapore's stock market is hitting a 16 year high.  This is despite geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic headwinds.  It is a timely reminder that patience, discipline and conviction still matter, especially in a world that chases shortcuts. 2026 feels like a very special year for me as a long term investor in our Singapore market.  Interest rates are easing to 1.2%, the lowest in 3 years and MAS Equity Development Programme is set to inject liquidity into small and mid cap stocks with SGD 5 billion.

I have always told myself that one day, I would invest in Singapore stocks. It sounds ironic now, considering that today, my portfolio still contains exactly zero of them. When I first started investing, I was young, curious, and armed with nothing more than YouTube videos, blog posts, and late-night Google searches. Like many beginners, I was looking for certainty in a world that had none. Somewhere online, I read that US stocks had historically outperformed Singapore stocks. Someone wrote that America was bigger, innovative and ambitious. Another said that the US market was where “real growth” happened. So I believed it. And just like that, I became a US-focused investor. I bought ETFs, along with a few individual stocks. I read about Apple, Tesla, Microsoft, Amazon. I admired how these
