Comment on What is a junk Will? by createwealth8888

Many people try to save money and unintentionally leave behind messy affairs to be sorted out by their loved ones. Actually, the cost of a good Will is a one-off thing and don’t need to be so stingy about it.

Thanks guys! Great to have your support!

I have realised it takes more than skills to be profitable in the market. Capital is definitely crucial. The critical mass!

I totally agree. A large capital gives you more flexibility, for without one, we will be at a slight disadvantage.

For example, I am already fully vested in the market and a recession is a good time to invest in undervalued stocks but how do I get the cash unless I sell my existing stocks at undervalued prices too.

Capital is the key to profitable businesses including trading and investing. Larger capital always provide better cushion against temporary setback and allows you to review your own strategies and tactics to get back in line

Can I check what will happen to a delisted company who has gone bankrupt?

We are supposed to receive the share certificates but what can we do with them?

Would appreciate your help. Thanks

If a company issue rights, you either subscribe the rights to stay in the game or simply get out.

It is a mindset thing. An investor thinking that he is just buying a stock, acts in a certain way.

A value guy will act in another way, both can make money.

I just find it rationally easier to digest to follow the value guy.

There are businesses and companies that are so cash generative that the balance sheet is always overflowing with cash. Whatever expansion that is needed can always be funded with internal cashflow.

These are companies that value investors look for.

However, if you do believe in this value investing crap, you can always buy some companies knowing they are gonna do a rights issue, and you get to buy more at a discount to currently already low share prices. And shortly after ex-rights, just sell the shares for some arbitrage profit. It is a good way to make money.
