He joined the NUS Business School in 1980 and spent the next 23 years in academia before retiring in 2003. All that time, Sebastian Chong was investing actively in equities. In fact, he has been doing so since the 1970s. Now, he is the managing director and key writer of stock analysis articles on www.shareowl.com and is also a very active participant in its forum.

Discover and discuss stock pick ideas and strategies for 2010: The Singapore and other equities markets have recovered substantially from their bottoms seen in March 2009 when the Straits Times Index (STI) hit a low of 1,457 points. When this write-up was last updated on 15 January 2010, the STI had doubled to 2,908 points.It was easy to earn huge returns between March 2009 and mid-January 2010.
But the year 2010 will require lots more skill in stock picking and deciding when to take profits or cut losses on specific counters.
