My ideas to value investing & Young Entrepreneurship

Dear reader,
I watched a seminar of a communication coach today. He said a very impressive thing "If you learn 1% new, teach it". It helps you to discuss your newly gathered information and to internalize the info.
Mr Market is for me like a screaming retailer who tries to sell his goods. Since I heard the idea, I do not have any need to look into my portfolio and the numbers are to some degree arbritary.
Value investing is hard work and most of the time boring. Now I think of investing in investment gurus rather than managing my own portfolio. On the other hand I learned so much about business models and personal finance because I have gone deep in the matter of value investing and I have a feeling of missing something if I quit value investing. But is value investing the thing I wanna do now? Does is provide more fun than building my own company or developing my software? no. if I am looking into the stock screeners I am not satisfied and thinking how I could improve it. same is with reading annual reports. I think how I could I improve the investment  process through a software and how to formalize the process.
Now I am building my own company while I am studying. the company is in its early stage but its fun to create a product for our customers + I work with awesome people together which is a huge motivation for me!
best regards

One Market - Two Perspectives

Dear reader, this article introduces two perspectives on markets. The first is a classic economical view on a market - the Capital Asset Pricing Model. The second is from a view point of a gambler - the Parimutuel betting. Both models are based on the idea of transactions - the price of an asset (or bet) is defined by the price of the last transaction of that bet. Caprital Asset Pricing Model The fundamental assumption of Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_Asset_Pricing_Model) is that all Investors are (1) rational, (2) risk-averse and (3) cannot influence market prices. The result is, that market prices move in unpredictable manner and equals a gauss distribution. This chaotic price movement is only influenced by (4) new information hitting the market, which should be unpredictable. I want to argue against CAPM. Therefore I have to disproof at least one of the assumptions above. (1) Rational investors: Behavioural finance suggests that ...

Silverlake Axis is a banking software company. It operates in south East Asia and is one of a few player in the banking software oligopoly. Prior to August 2015 Sliverlake Axis was a star. Than the bombshell dropped, as razor99 accused Mr. Goh (60% shareholder and CEO of Silverlake) that he and Silverlake did dubious deals in related party transactions at the expense of minority shareholder [RAZOR99]. The stock got slaughtered - from 1.20 to 0.55 SGD. In January 2016 Deloitte cleared Silverlake of these accusation [DELOITTE]. Is Silverlake a value buy now? Can I trust the numbers? Deloitte Singapore was ordered by Silverlake to investigate razor99 accusations [RAZOR99, DELOITTE]. Deloitte found that for the 3 acquisition in question, the prices 2 had fair prices where 1 was in the higher range of fair. ROI is for the 2 fair acquisitions 10 to 12% whereas the other is about 3%. Today the 3 acquired businesses make up to 85% of revenue. Silverlake today is Silverlake because of the 3 acq...

Google is loosing its spirit (and may go evil)

I love the products and services of Alphabet and its subsidiary Google. I love android; I love gmail; I love search! As an investor I love the business model and market leadership! A few weeks ago, Google re-names itself to Alphabet. The new name transports the idea of their much better than google, which is just the name of their search service. Alpha-bet describes betting on alpha or first grade ideas. As they re-named the company, the management shifted from the slogan "don't do evil" to "do the right thing". This cultural shift will hurt the company in the long run! Alphabet/Google-critics argue, that without the "don't do evil" motto, Alphabet is now officially evil - why else changing the motto? The Alphabet management argues that a positive definition of their motto will yield to better results in efficiency, compliance and obeying the law, while allowing flexible motto definitions for each business unit. "Evil" is bette...
