Engineering Role
I’ve started investing since last year...nothing big, just small amounts here and there. But now I want to take it more seriously and build a proper portfolio. The problem is… I’m always stuck. So many opinions like buy during dips, diversify, hold long-term, follow the market, don’t follow the market... I read up, but still feel lost. Especially in SG where the market is different from the US. Got any tips on how you personally decide which stocks to buy? Not theory, but real experience pls.

Totally get the confusion. What worked for me: I started dollar-cost averaging into STI ETF just to build the habit. Then I used that time to learn more about individual stocks. No rush, slow and steady beats panic buying and regret later 😅
