A collection of our guest speaking, interviews, and other educational events.

A few months back, I was invited as a guest speaker at this exclusive conference, the very first life-hacking conference in Singapore.

Top specialists from each field were carefully selected to give a short, insightful, and practical lecture, aimed at providing participants the real practical expertise of these speakers in bite-size nuggets of wisdom.

path less travelled

Yesterday, I was invited by the Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) to give a workshop on behavioral finance and trading, and the title of my talk was “The True Nature of People and Markets”. Although it was a closed door event, I was pleasantly surprised by the large turnout of 50-60 students who were eager to learn more about this exotic field of trading.

After the talk, I also got the chance to interact with the students and dish out some “career advice” for those keen on choosing this path of becoming a professional trader for funds or banks. I look forward to more of such educational workshops, as I am also eager to share my skills with those willing to learn.

Once again, a big thanks to the SIM Investment & Networking Club, all the organisers, and all the great attendees who helped make this event a huge success. Cheers! :]

“With over 70% of the audience from a buy-side, broker or an exchange, TradeTech is unrivalled in its ability to uncover, debate and determine where the industry is heading. Year after year it has convinced Asia’s most senior trading and technology decision makers to leave their desks for two days each November.”

As we approach the conclusion of this fruitful year, we would like to thank all students and staff for the great support in making every run of the Synapse Program an incredible experience, and providing the great support and follow-up for each and every trader.

To end the year with a BANG, I would like to take this opportunity to officially open the application for the last batch of  the Synapse Program for 2013. As per our usual tradition, this intake will be limited to the 1st 20 new applicants – unfortunately already more than half are filled from the waiting list from our last intake.

We plan to fill up all the seats by the end of October so that we can start making detailed preparations, and for this we are offering an early bird special price till the end of October. If you are interested, do act fast, or you might end up on the waiting list for next year.

Yesterday, we had another great live sharing session and market outlook, where we followed-up from the previous session 2 weeks ago.

In the last session, the focus was on the FOMC and interest rates; now the focus is on the debt ceiling and the new deadline: October 17. 2 weeks ago, we called for a short on the STI and the Us markets. You can check out what happened after that.

We had a discussion on many SGX counters, and I shared my top picks with all who attended this session. We also discussed the EUR/USD and Gold, which I will be sharing more tomorrow. Hint: I am heavily short on both.

After the session, I had dinner and drinks with two fund managers who came by from Vietnam to attend this session. Those who attended this session would have seen them in the front row. Needless to say, I will be seeing them in my next mentoring program intake.
