My humble apologies for my late reply!

MIP is perhaps the first of its kind in Singapore when I attended the very 1st time back in July 2008. Today, you will see no less than 3 other value investing partnership out there teaching the basics of value investing.

My question to you is why do you wish to seek the advise of others when you already have an answer inside you? Value investing is rarely practiced because it takes a lot of guts and patience even after you have done your homework. MIP teaches you the Science of it which you can read in most value investing books. What books cannot teach you is how to screen for them and the psychology of value investing.

Since you’re already seeking answers, you should already know the main difference between an real investor and a real speculator. Otherwise, the course will help you identify it quickly. It is possible that you will end up not applying anything you’ve learn in the course (as I’m confident that at least 50% of all students will do nothing).

So do you think it’s a waste of time and money? Absolutely not! You will discover what you should not pretend to be, just as Conrad Lim of Adam Khoo’s Learning Technologies have taught. You pay money not to lose more money if you don’t understand what investing is all about. In the end like most people, they take no further actions and stop losing money.

Hope my answer clarifies your doubt!

Greed is The Seed of Evil!
Be Blessed & @ Peace!

I am Bryan and recently attended the MIP free seminar. Am having a dilemma now on whether i should attend the course. It would be great if i could seek your advice on this? or any other recommended courses worth attending? As i myself have recently plan to start investing in both shares and proerty if possible.

May i know how was the MIP course? Is it worth investing the time and money? Were the concepts that were being thought able to grow your money?

Your help and time is much appreciated.

Yours Sincerely,
Bryan

The MIP course price does make you think twice before enrolling. For now I think I’ll just stick to blue chips proven counters that survived the 98 crisis.

Thks for the add, I’ve linked back too. Have a great year ahead.

Thanks I wish that year 2009 is going to be rocking for you too as it will be for me – I know it!

Hmm… I have no intention to make any resolution. Resolutions may disappoint, as one is never certain that one can achieve it if it gets too unrealistic. What’s more important is the process as one progress over the new year, as well as how you plan it out and eventually experiences it. Forcing desired outcomes can add a lot of pressures to life and takes out the fun. The higher your expectations, the worse the disappointments may get. It’s a little philosophy that I subscribe to that allows myself to experience more happiness and health. Nothing beats happiness and health!

As for the MIP course, it is likely to be closing soon (or have closed already) and the 3rd batch is scheduled to start on 12th February 2009. The 3 full-day course fee and all the bonuses, if I remember correctly, is currently priced at $3,995. By the 4th batch comes around in June, it is likely to be at full price as I wrote on my blog – $4,995. I have a $150 voucher which you can use to offset the total course fee.

The first day of the course focus on the psychology of investing. Getting this wrong will most certainly wipe out most investors. That is why trading is so hard. The games are designed to drill the concepts deep down into you so that you’ll remember that for life! This part of the course alone, in my humble opinion, is the most invaluable part! The other days include the science and art of evaluating businesses listed here on SGX (Singapore).

What I mean by science is the screening for outstanding businesses at a glance, such as financial reports and ratios, determining intrinsic values and other very important concepts, as already detailed by Benjamin Graham. The art aspect of it covers how you screen for key managements, and also different ways to valuate a business, depending on the classifications you put the target business under, as well as considering the assumptions you make for the valuations.

You’re on PR2? That’s great! Sure, I’ll add you to my blog-roll if you don’t mind?

Have an exciting year ahead…
Good Investing & Stay Invested!
