What a fantastic video! The best I've seen yet! This should be watched - and studied - by all, especially the young adults who are starting out. As AK said, there is no magic, it takes time, patience and study. And to be in it for the long term - the difference between the investor and the speculator/gambler. Really really good insights from a guy who is not only brilliant but has a great sense of SG humour as well!! Thoroughly enjoyable. You 3 guys really need to "kidnap" AK more often!!
First time I watch this channel and AK is the guest, I watch 3 videos. I found AK is real person sharing right strategy about passive income. I m from India and learning from Global leaders. Thank You Very Much for making this video.
Love this series of getting AK to be interviewed! I got a question for AK. Over the last 10 years, i've built a portfolio of 300k which yields me about 14k a year. Is this yield reasonable? It's only 4+% dividend yield. is there something i did wrongly? to me 4+% is not alot to reach my goal of financial freedom in the near future. It looks more like a good funds for my kids when they grow up. What can I do to maximise the dividend yield so that I can enjoy the rewards?
I like how the circumstances he faced during his time, and he shared fundamentals and strategies that should still work today. But I also see that many of Singapore dividend stocks aren't growing stocks..
While I am not a dividend investor (more towards Peter Lynch's philosophy). I find AK's method and underlying principles for assessing matters align perfectly with those of a great investor.
This 4 masketeers sharing session is much more lively! Would appreciate if there's future sharing on CPF life! Not everyone is aware that one needs to have $60,000 in RA ( before payout starts) before being included in CPF Life for Monthly payout for Life , even if one is born after 1958. Else, would be placed under RSS (Retirement Sum Scheme) with monthly payout ended either when RA depleted or reach age 90, whichever earlier. I realise that I have utilised too much OA towards purchase of HDB, therefore I may need to top up OA to reach minimum $60k requirement (not enough SA balance) to join CPF Life!

Good video guys. A lot of bantering and funny moments mixed with carefully worded and considered principles which are hallmarks of the Graham/ Doddsville, Buffett, Munger school. I like that AK thinks two / three steps ahead as to how his answer may impact people if he just directly blurts answers. So he contextualizes it well and presents a balanced view. I have also followed AK many years back and it seems he recognizes that those watching this video may not have been " his followers " for a long time, or may just be coming across him for first time so he prefaces with his rationale before answering... to the point he forgets the question 🤣. Theres a lot to learn, and cannot be just from one video, hopefully the audience can take nuggets of wisdom from here and build on it..
Hi, I have a question for AK, what is his lifestyle prior to his retirement and currently. Is he married? Does he have children? What about his family background? Does he have to give ‘allowance’ to his parents?
Ak blog used to be one of my earlier days investment guidance blog. Fifth Person are great in sharing their views. Learn and grow together. Take action rather than most people and make a difference. In the long haul, we will grow progressively. Great to see this video.
you guys should continue conversations with local traders. maybe someday someone like adam khoo or even chicken genius will be on 5th person. thanks so much for featuring my comment and for the excellent content on your channel. had goosebumps when i saw my own comment on this video. keep up the excellent work bros p.s. these interviews remind me of " the market wizards" book
After watch this I think many of you going to topup cpf SA to the max 198k , how many of you agreed with this & able full capped? Not an easy for a simple employee
Hey guys, Could you please consider making a video or analysis on Wilmar or Sheng Siong? I noticed AK has (or had), a position in Wilmar. Greetings from the Netherlands!
2m for 2%. I believe can. Because any person buy OCBC during COVID at $8.75 is 9% returns per annum. But he lead a very frugal hard life, not easy to hold when times dififcult.

I only have enough money left after expenses to place into a cheap ETF and an ILP. These plus CPF will be my retirement fund. To even DCA efficiently, you need money to grow money. 45 years old and my gross pay only $2800.
Hi.. I feel like I've seen you commenting on Asian Boss about your salary. Have you thought of signing up for skills upgrading etc through skills future credits? There are data analytics, cyber security jobs that pay above 3k sgd at least. You're applying these from given govt money.

What a first banger question! Definitely not going get an answer from AK lah. Conservatively speaking to reach the approx. 200k dividend per year would take at least SGD5m-6m at 4.0% average annual yield across the portfolio. Quite sure he holds a whole lot more and that he is just being conservative.
I like them for their coupons and when there's a credit line extended on them, gives alot of flexibility. I personally prefer long maturity high investment grade issues. Lesser coupons but provides peace of mind.
Great video! For 2023, it’s hard to nail down specific predictions for the housing market is because it’s not yet clear how quickly or how much the Federal Reserve can bring down inflation and borrowing costs without tanking buyer demand for everything from homes to cars.
Thank you AK and also to the Fifth person.. I enjoyed this video, so many laughs and inspiration at the same time.. Yes, bring him back regularly.. Maybe every 3 months if possible.. 🤘🤘
Bring this gentleman as many times as you want. We love him
We'll try our best!
AK’s journey inspired my dividend investing. Currently getting S$40k per year. Thanks AK!🙏
Power of CD!
Amazing! Nicely done!
Bro pls teach me how
The quality of this podcast is phenomenal. In term camera, audio, contents discuss. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much, Fred!

On it, Nick! Planning it right now...

Thank You Very Much for making this video.
AK is such a good guest for the Fifth Person. Definitely have him more on the show!

Thanks for featuring AK. Watching both my gurus on the same screen is like the watching the Avengers !
17:33 Best moment in this show! 🤣 Loving the light- hearted banter.
(cough)
I like how the circumstances he faced during his time, and he shared fundamentals and strategies that should still work today. But I also see that many of Singapore dividend stocks aren't growing stocks..
I’ve been investing into US stocks and crypto only. After hearing AK’s sharing, made me wanna really look into local banks and dividend investing!
Be careful with crypto and US stocks. I would never touch them
Same, I’m also looking into income stocks in sg after hearing him haha.
Thank you Guys! I am an AK follower! 🤩
Our pleasure!
You are an investment expert making $200k a year (great respect). I got burned investing and lost dividends instead.
While I am not a dividend investor (more towards Peter Lynch's philosophy). I find AK's method and underlying principles for assessing matters align perfectly with those of a great investor.

Thanks for pointing this out, Candy!

How to determine valuation? That's the question.. Roe, price to book, NAV
P/E ratio, price to earnings. Divide the current price by EPS, earnings per share.
Very good session. Enjoyed it very much. More please, thanks.

Yes, there are many 'layers' to an answer sometimes!
Please bring back uncle AK in the future too. In the mean time could you do one episode for GRAB?
Four of my favourite people, thanks FifthPerson and AK
Thanks Yvonne!!
a very candid & down to earth chat.
Thanks Eugene!
AK is a genius. I hope you will make more videos!
People laugh when i say i research whether the properties are in natural disasters zones or frequently hit by...now i know I'm not alone. Thanks AK
Haha. Well done!
What investing platform does AK use?
Liked! Part 3!
Thank you AK for doing Part 2! Thoroughly enjoyed the video and hope that Fifth Person will kidnap you for Part 3 😜
Thanks Samuel! We'll try our best
It is enlightening & sensible if you are into stocks. Do not underestimate it because of their Singaporean English. wyeo.
He is down to earth and very approachable. Tqvm
Yes, he is!
Hope that you can interview another AK (Adam Khoo) next time!
Whats the last book recommended? Charlie something?
Hi, I have a question for AK, what is his lifestyle prior to his retirement and currently. Is he married? Does he have children? What about his family background? Does he have to give ‘allowance’ to his parents?
Ak blog used to be one of my earlier days investment guidance blog. Fifth Person are great in sharing their views. Learn and grow together. Take action rather than most people and make a difference. In the long haul, we will grow progressively. Great to see this video.
Thanks Steve! Yes, we're learning alongside all of you as well 😊
I like the point to focus on the methodology than fixated on the number as our lifestyles are different.
Yes, know the diff between investment & speculation
you guys should continue conversations with local traders. maybe someday someone like adam khoo or even chicken genius will be on 5th person. thanks so much for featuring my comment and for the excellent content on your channel. had goosebumps when i saw my own comment on this video. keep up the excellent work bros p.s. these interviews remind me of " the market wizards" book
Thank you for watching and sharing your comments, Ceejay! You are part of this channel too!
Hi im curious as to what is AK's opinion about Day Trading
After watch this I think many of you going to topup cpf SA to the max 198k , how many of you agreed with this & able full capped? Not an easy for a simple employee
Hey guys,
Could you please consider making a video or analysis on Wilmar or Sheng Siong? I noticed AK has (or had), a position in Wilmar.
Greetings from the Netherlands!
Hallo! We actually did a roundtable on Sheng Siong pretty recently: ua-cam.com/video/O1PXorb89fc/v-deo.html
@@TheFifthPersonChannel Great video, just watched it. Thanks!!
May I know what investment platforms are recommended for long term investing?
You can compare the brokerage platforms and fees here: fifthperson.com/how-to-open-a-brokerage-account-in-singapore/
This is very insightful. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, AK again.
2m for 2%. I believe can. Because any person buy OCBC during COVID at $8.75 is 9% returns per annum. But he lead a very frugal hard life, not easy to hold when times dififcult.
I’m getting 325K dividends annually with my portfolio. I live at ridout n neighbours with sham n bala
Nice!
Without good habits, never able to follow AK. I always unable to follow my budget.
great video! part 3 on CPF plz
Thanks! We'll ask and see if AK wants to come back to discuss CPF...
What is the most advanced trading book called? I didn't catch that though thanks!

where to follow AK's content?

Well said on the company's ability to pay out consistently rather than the market value
Yes, consistent dividends are one strong indicator of performance.
Why no podcast? only youtube?
We're on Spotify too: open.spotify.com/show/26hfgAyZy2DW7REhjlhfyl
i love this channel
Thanks!

Quite sure he holds a whole lot more and that he is just being conservative.
if you look at the stocks he declared in his blog, the dividend is substantially higher than 4%
guys, that sitting duck comment is a bot lah walao. read the rest of that comment thread!
What’s your opinion on fixed term or perpetual corporate bonds? Can chat about it?
I like them for their coupons and when there's a credit line extended on them, gives alot of flexibility. I personally prefer long maturity high investment grade issues. Lesser coupons but provides peace of mind.
Part 3
Wow that Trex was great editing 🤣
🦖!!
Great video! For 2023, it’s hard to nail down specific predictions for the housing market is because it’s not yet clear how quickly or how much the Federal Reserve can bring down inflation and borrowing costs without tanking buyer demand for everything from homes to cars.
watched again
Thanks!
AK now making his income from youtube. 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Where is his blog?
singaporeanstocksinvestor.blogspot.com/
Can somebody summaries all the recommended books, hahaaa
Discipline is critical..
Thank you AK and also to the Fifth person.. I enjoyed this video, so many laughs and inspiration at the same time..
Yes, bring him back regularly.. Maybe every 3 months if possible.. 🤘🤘
Glad you enjoyed it, Richard!
Always have cash at hand that U can deploy the cash when market is in a down trend like now. Bank stocks is a buy now. Transportation too. JMHO
normally stock with high dividend tends to screw up big time in their stock price.. nothing to be proud of...
Yes, a very high yield is a red flag. It's important to do your research on the business fundamentals and the reason(s) why the yield is high.
❤❤❤
1st~~~
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
this joker for entertainment is fine. but I hope no body takes him seriously 😅😂
What a waste of time!
Does AK have ig?
