What I learned from Hyflux Saga

Finally after 2 year plus, Hyflux decided to wind up.




This counter is the first investment I made when I started my investment journey back in 2018. I was noob that time to decide to buy Hyflux because they are "cheap" and "good name". I am so noob that I used market order to buy at a premium, hoping it will rebound one day.

Luckily my noob also save me from huge loss because I only buy 100 units because I don't know what I am doing that time.

And the result, few hundred dollars of hard earn money go to drain.

What I learned from this case:

1. Don't invest blindly, don't buy a company share because they look cheap and the company has a nice image. Always do due diligent check before making an investment decision.

2. Never assumed company backed by ah-gong aka Temasek won't fail.

3. Have an exit strategy when things start to look not right

This checklist from Seedly is a good read before you start your investment journey.

Invest safe!
