My Approach In Finding The Stocks I Want

Do note that my views are value-investment related and looks strictly at fundamental aspects of the company. 1. SGX Stock Screener (StockFacts) I use StockFacts to reduce the time required to find my value-buys.  Many of you may argue it may not be accurate or outdated. But do note that further checks on the financial reports of the shortlisted stocks should still be done to ensure the stocks will fit into the criteria.
