FAQ

  • Why should I sign up for this course?

    How long would it take you to learn about all the different investment strategies, and how much will you need to pay in total?

    In this comprehensive strategic investing masterclass syllabus, I’ve combined:
    >> my knowledge learnt from attending multiple different courses and seminars (that comes up to over $10,000 in attendee fees),
    >> insights gleaned from over 20 hallmark investment books, including the works of Benjamin Graham and Philip Fisher,
    >> my experience in the actual markets,
    >> lessons learnt from speaking with legendary investors such as Jim Rogers and Lauren Templeton,
    >> as well as years of reading financial materials and stock analyst reports over the last 6+ years…all into this one course.

    In designing and structuring this course, I basically built the exact course that I wish had existed years ago when I first started investing. This will save you all the time and money I paid to the stock market as “tuition fees” to learn these lessons.

    You can now shortcut and ride on all these for your own benefit, all for just a small fraction of what you'll be investing into the markets over the next few years.

  • How is this different from other investment courses?

    One of the most popular value investment courses in Singapore today goes for $5,000 whereas another solid growth investing course costs $3,000 to attend. Online courses for investing in REITs alone go for $500, while other dividend courses retail for higher. Another company charges $4,500 for their portfolio management course. If you add all of that together, how much will you already have to pay in total to learn all the different approaches?

  • How long will I have access for?

    You will have full access to the Strategic Investing Masterclass for two months, thereafter which your access will be deemed to have expired. There are two reasons for this - aside from making sure you actually do spend time going through the course after you've paid for it, the other would be costs. Lifetime access is not included as there's fees charged by the platform per student, per month. However, if you were not able to complete your learning due to personal circumstances, or if you wish to recap what you've learnt, just drop us an email and we'll extend (or re-open) it for you at no extra fees as long as it is reasonably within our ability to absorb the costs. We're nice and love hardworking students, so just ask us and be surprised by what we can give you!

  • Will this course be worth my time and money?

    On average, most beginner investors lose anything from $2,000 - $5,000 on their first stock mistake alone. Others never learn how to do it right, and that's why even 6-digit losses in the stock market are not unheard of.

    If this small investment can help you learn the right skills of the trade and avoid a 50% loss on your next $3,000 stock purchase, then it would have already paid for itself several times over. And if you intend to invest just $10,000 a year over the next 40 years of your life, the difference between an additional 2% investment returns a year works out to be $1.2 million!

    So is this more than worth it to learn about how to manage your investment portfolio right when there's so much at stake? You do the math.

Hear from past students!

"Very helpful, eye-opening"

"I’ve found the modules very helpful in terms of having a more strategic approach in my investing, by determining what kind of investor I want to be and having a plan for my portfolio. Reading about the ** portfolio was really eye-opening."

"Helped me to learn how to apply the concepts"

Roslyn

"Lessons are well spread out; sparked my interest amidst the more dry technical terms"

Ho Chia

"I like that your classes are well spread out and content is presented in a concise manner! In particular, as a first time learner, stories of your past investment decisions and experiences sparked my interest amidst the more dry technical terms. Haha. I also appreciate your explanation of how you formed your investment thesis and shared the fundamentals behind it."

"the correct decision. My husband is so impressed with my gains!"

@dancinglove

You really opened my eyes to investing. If not for you, I may have panic-sold during the COVID19 crisis! Your workshop enlightened me; I think I really made the correct decision to start learning about the concepts before investing. Since then, my husband is so impressed with my gains that he wants to entrust his money to me now!
