Today, we live in the internet age. While this means we have information at our fingertips, it isn’t without its problems. Information overload – where there is too much information out there on the internet for us to process – can lead to over-analysis, misinformation and decision paralysis.
This applies to almost everything in our lives – from cooking a new dish, getting started on a new diet or committing to a new workout regime. There is no shortage of information that we can find on the internet.
The same holds for our investment journey. There are many articles, books, video tutorials, seminars and coaching sessions that can help us become better investors. The question is, whether it will be relevant for us?
Investing In The Singapore Exchange
As an investor in Singapore, it makes sense that many of us will be investing in stocks listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX).
The SGX has more than 600 companies listed on its mainboard and more than another 200 companies on its Catalist board. This gives Singapore investors a broad selection of stocks across different business sectors and be exposed to varied geographical regions that they can choose to invest in.
When doing research, we will quickly realise that not all companies are covered equally. Bigger and more popular companies tend to be extensively covered, while smaller companies may be overlooked.
For example, companies that are part of the Straits Times Index (STI) such as DBS, OCBC, UOB, Singtel and CapitaLand are naturally going to be more popular with the investment community. Hence, they receive more coverage from stock analysts, are frequently covered by the media channels and are usually widely discussed among the investment community. As an investor, finding information about these companies is easy.
On the other hand, small and mid-sized listed companies which are not as popular are not frequently covered and tend to go under the radar for many investors. Often we only hear about these companies, if at all, when they make spectacular strides in their business and share price.
