Share Investment February 25 part 1

-

These are the shares that I initiated position in and sold since the last update about year ago:

Initiated in:

(1) Credit Bureau Asia Ltd (as recommended by The Smart Investor)

" Credit Bureau Asia (CBA) is a leading credit and risk information solutions provider in Southeast Asia.

The group provides credit and risk information services to a wide variety of clients such as financial institutions (FI), multinational corporations, government bodies, public agencies, local enterprises, and individuals. "

Reasons to buy:

  • A dominant market leader in the credit information services sector
  • Network effect competitive moat
  • Solid financials with growth in revenue, net profit and dividends
  • Catalysts for continued growth
  • Potential growth in China and other countries

Risks:

  • Economic downturn
  • Non-renewal of contract with Dun & Bradstree
  • Uneven track record in expansion

(2) The Hour Glass Ltd (as recommended by The Smart Investor)

I bought some once The Smart Investor moved it from speculative to growth segment. Note that the following information was from 2021 when they first recommended this company.

The Hour Glass is "multi-brand retailer of luxury timepieces" that "carries famous Swiss watch brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Cartier, Hublot, Tudor and IWC" and also "owns the home-grown Watches of Switzerland (WoS) brand".

Reasons to buy:

  • A renowned luxury watch retailer
  • Tailwinds in the high net worth segment
  • Robust financial numbers
  • Expansion plans

Risks:

  • Brands going solo
  • Shift in consumer preferences
  • Competition ramping up
  • Government regulations
  • History of questionable acquisitions 
 
I sold some shares in iFAST to shift some fund to money market funds. iFAST was chosen because of its disproportinately current value in the portfolio.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability.

Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I ...

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba...
