Hi, I'm Thomas Chua, a finance professional with a passion for investing. I hold an FCCA designation and currently working as an Internal Auditor. I’m also the author of “Dividend Growth Investing”, a book on building wealth through investing in dividend-paying stocks.

Why Restart This Blog?
I used to manage "Stocksinsights.com," website dedicated to Malaysian stock market investing. While I enjoyed sharing knowledge, maintaining the website's technical aspects took a significant amount of time away from writing content. With limited time and the growing popularity of video content, I decided to step away.
But in September 2023, I had the privilege of sharing my knowledge about investing at Bursa Academy. After the session, a lady approached me seeking advice on a blue-chip stock she had invested in. Despite facing significant losses, she was unsure whether to cut her losses or hold on.
Since I cannot provide any financial advice, I focused on sharing my knowledge about the company's business challenges and whether it is a permanent or temporary issues. Ultimately, the decision to sell or hold rested with her.
This experience inspired me to restart this blog. It will allow me to share my thoughts, insights, and experiences with you. In turn, you can do your own due diligence and make an informed decisions.
What’s In It for Me?
Writing or creating content is a powerful tool for knowledge acquisition. By putting my thoughts into words, I often uncover gaps in my understanding. What might seem clear in my mind can become surprisingly complex when I attempt to articulate it.
This process of explanation forces me to delve deeper, identify areas of uncertainty, and ultimately solidify my comprehension. This will translate to my conviction in a particular stock when it comes to investing.
While I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge, I do incur costs for research materials and maintaining this blog. If you find value in my content and wish to support my efforts, consider subscribing to this blog. Your support will help me continue providing quality content.
What's Different?
This platform will be like my personal journal about investing in US, SG, MY and HK. There will be a mixture of paid and free content. For now, all content will remain free as I continue to develop this platform.
For the paid content, it will include:
Quarterly Portfolio Reviews: In-depth review of my investment portfolio, lessons learned and current stocks in my watchlist. This will be more detailed than the ones in my Instagram
Industry and Stock Insights: Deep-dive research and valuations of stocks as well as analysis on certain industries which I find interesting.
Community Chat Group: Ask your burning questions and I will answer it with my limited knowledge. If I can’t answer it, I will look for the answer and share it with you.
My vision for this paid content is to create a community of like-minded investors where we can discuss stocks, options, and refine our analytical skills together. In the future, I plan to organize virtual or physical meetups and webinars to enhance the learning experience.
For the free content, it will include:
Current Market Issues: Analysis of the latest market trends and news.
Case Studies: Real-world examples of successful stocks invested.
Yearly Market Outlook: Predictions and forecasts for the upcoming year.
Investment Journal: Personal reflections, lessons and other interesting topics about investing or options trading.
Guest Posts: Articles about stock investing from Stocks Insights Community.
As this is my personal journal, I'll be posting content whenever inspiration strikes. I believe in quality over quantity, so I'll only share my thoughts when I have something meaningful to say.
