A Certified Financial Technician (CFTe) personal view on Singapore Stock Market - SGX

From: Joseph Foo

Trading and driving a car is very similar. Imagine what will happen if you drive a car without going through theory and practical lessons. Trading without proper education is like driving without knowing how much fuel you got, how far you want to go, when to stop at traffic lights.

I’m very impressed by Collin’s dedication to teach. He doesn’t follow the notes blindly. He always goes the extra mile to ensure everyone understands using real data for examples. He assigns homeworks every week and provide feedbacks. Moreover, AAT’s training arrangement is excellent with quality classroom settings and snacks. It is definitely worth the money as this course covers most of the basic but important TA knowledge suitable for new traders. The Mastermind course is design to teach you how to “do your homework”, plan your trade and find your own system. How I wish that I had attended something similar before I started trading a year ago. My advice is do not trade until you’ve attended courses like this. Within just 5 lessons, you would have got enough knowledge to trade back your course fees.

Happy Trading

I am a beginner in share trading (Sept 07), previously invested purely in UT online.. I attended one of the power training (3-4 days) which supposedly guarantee sure win tactics … which is rather expensive. I ended losing some $$ & waking up reality… I was searching for a value for money course which is truthful about what’s achievable to each individual.

Collin’s course is a beginner to intermediate in-depth understanding of TA. I do not expect to be an expert the course end, but at least know the trading concepts & develop myself more as I gather more experience later. Lastly, to meet like minded individuals like myself who hope to be financially free by trading wisely & share ideas/info.

As a retail investor who has gone through market upheavals and downturns, understanding the market action solely on financial analysis and worse, hope analysis, is definitely not enough. Just like Jack Neo’s Money No Enough, we will realise that it is Skill No Enough in the share market if we do not arm ourselves with Technical Analysis. Hence I am glad that I have chosen Mastermind Trader course conducted by Rebekah and Collin.

Collin is a very patient trainer who helps to alleviate fears amongst some of us who are even afraid of graphs since primary school, not to mention deciphering it for market trend and analysis. Through the systematic approach of one lesson a week, there is ample time for one to digest the lesson and move on to the next one. After every lesson, we can put to test our knowledge learnt in the market, and such practicum breeds confidence. We also learn from Collin his trading system and customise it for our own use and thus sidestep a lot of learning curves. The course also requests participant to submit assignment after every lesson, so as to make sure that he/she does not waste the precious investment and gain some knowledge.

Rebekah provides excellent services for the MetaStock and she will guide those who have IT-phobia on how to install and get the system going from ground zero. She is also our “chef-in-residence”, making sure we can look forward to yummy and sumptuous food and not get bored with those jargons such as trendline, support turn resistance etc.

As the class attracts people from all walks of life, it offers a good networking opportunity and learns from some participants from their trading experiences. I highly recommend this course for its practicality, relevant knowledge and excellent training that will certainly make you a wiser person before you decide to dance with bull or bear in the share market.

From: Cassandra

I am totally new to the field of stock investments and was searching for a comprehensive course to equip myself with the knowledge and tools to make informed investments in the stock market.

My search ended with Mastermind Trader. This is truly an excellent course that covers a whole range of topics from basic TA techniques and tools, stock selection and analysis etc. There were also plenty of opportunities to learn from real life stock picks and Collin is ever willing to show us how he spots the winners and shares his views. He is really generous in sharing his knowledge; and even though our sessions sometimes drag on way past class time, he doesn’t mind staying on to answer our ever-ending questions. He even makes it a point to sms us during the week for stocks to look at, remind us to do homework etc, etc. What’s also important is the camaraderie that the class shares. Everyone is willing to share knowledge and guide the less experienced of us. Overall it has made my venture into the world of stocks enjoyable and enriching. I would highly recommend the Mastermind Trader to wannabe traders!

Hey Collin, Thank you for your right on the bull’s eye info. Your Entry at 4.14, Exit 4.10, Target price 4.30 and Time period 3 days was wa,wa,wa,wa!!. 1 “Mistake” however, the bull ran double fast, reaching 4.28 the very next day, Wed (targeted 3 days)! Today’s high 4.42. Too bad I missed it - that’s because i was already committed to other counters - Golden Agr…I also can only drool over Indo Agri..also can’t buy..Really don’t want to over buy now. your morn sms is simply SUPER!! Keep them coming, hopefully I will gather enough $$ to do more trade. . Thank you for your warm, friendly and helpful MASTERMIND CLASS. It’s the BEST COUNTER I have invested. Thanks Becky for taking so much time and effort to help load the software FREE for me. Appreciate. Will get you something nice this Tuesday. Looking forward…CHEERS!!!

towkay very zhun (accurate) with the call & it shows education makes the different (not anyhow humtum!)

From: Elizabeth Ng

Collin’s call on wilmar was super spot-on! As he said.. those who went in got reward.. those who didn’t also got re.. but regret! Although i didn’t go in cos I didn’t want to overtrade, can’t say i don’t feel a little regret! BUT his Mastermind course was definitely an investment that I’ve not regretted one bit. Education is the most important step, and I’m glad I took Collin’s advice on that. His morning sms was also a great surprise that shows his commitment to his students beyond what is expected of him and his willingness to impart his knowledge to the rest, especially to a newbie like me.

Cheers Collin, am looking forward to Tues classes!

From: Steven Tan

Both of you have been real warm and the atmosphere at the class was just great.
For the class, we always have a good start with good food and it is also an ice-breaking session as we eat and talk.

Collin, you are just a great teacher. To spread the course over 12 weeks, though it seems long but it is definitely beneficial as it allows us time to review, revise and work through the homework. This is important as we are learning a skill that we can apply and not just attending a course and then not knowing how to make use of the tools. This is the case for most of the ‘crash course’ that is conducted over 1-2 days. I do appreciate your patience to go through the various details and also ensure the whole class understands. I look forward to the weekly sessions as there are so many things to learn from you, sifu!

I am looking forward to the day when I can make use of the tool to fish (trade) and not depending on information from ’so call insider info’!

Hi Collin,

Here it goes. Hope not too late. Just back from Vietnam a few days ago and clearing a lot of backlogs.

“I don’t really like to write… wouldn’t have pen this if not for Collin because I think he deserves it. Don’t look for him if you are just settling in for a Tom Dick or Harry remisier who just sign you up and leave you in cold storage. He is different from the other remisiers whom I have signed up with in the past. At least he bothers to call and will keep us updated of stock news via yahoo group e-mail, almost everyday! And if there is any good lobang, he will keep us updated via sms. I have bought 5 lots of Tiong Woon and pocketed some money from his call recently. He is getting better and better in his calls nowadays and I just kicked myself for having missed many good opportunities due to limited funds. Besides this, Collin also organizes gatherings to equip us with knowledge and tools to navigate in the stock market.

But mind you, he does gently remind me not to overbuy beyond my limit so I have to be cautious and not let the buoyant market get over my head! Crazy right? The normal remiser just want you to buy and buy, trade and trade, because they can earn more commission!

Where on earth do you find such remisier? He is hardworking and differentiates himself from the rest by creating value for his clients. But I must admit it is not easy to get him at times. What do you expect? Collin is afterall a human after all. Nobody is perfect. The decision is yours. At least I have made mine and is still happy in this journey!”

Hi Collin,

I am not very good in writing Testimony.

Collin is a very different remiser compare to others of my experience. I like the extra effort he puts in such as organize a class to teach us about investment, and always receiving latest updates via calls, sms and email. This is very impressive as I believe he really puts in lots of effort and time to do all this. Investing with Collin is “safer”, cause with the latest updates I would be able to do adjustment my investment almost immediate.

No doubt in his knowledge and eagerness in helping us to make more profit! Thanks for always on the look out for hot stocks for people like me do not know how to find it! All the Best to you Collin!!!

Hi Collin,

This is what i promise you, as you are someone who deserve to be recommend, as i am writing this email, late in the evening, you can be sure that you are worth of.

Collin is a extraordinary remiser, who would go for the extra mile just for you. In terms of update, he never fail to update me everyday via email about the stocks market, he would also go the extra mile to give you a call or sms now and then about hot stocks. In terms of knowledge hungry investor like me, if i had any doubt technical investment, he would always be be there to guide me along. I can say that his anylysis is getting from good to one of the best that i have known of. He is not the commisionary driven remiser, as he would take the extra time and effort to organise class that treaches investment, that is free of charge! I am so impressed of his services, that i had refer some of my close friends and client to him. Keep up the good work, collin! cheers!

Collin has made good recommendation to most of the stocks via his TA skill and FA analysis. Busy people like me trade on his recommendation can still make some good pocket money from SGX

Hi Collin,

Thanks for your hard work. So far, you are the most hardworking and efficient remiser that I have been with. Your analysis is truly detailed and remarkable. I am absolutely delighted to have met you at Raffles City roadshow and becoming your client. Thank you.

My wife is currently a phillips securities client too, but would like to switch under you. Can that be done? Please advise how. Thanks.

Collin,

I’m not used to write lenghty words especially complimenting someone. However, I forced myself to do it especially for someone like you that truly deserve my compliments. It’s a small effort from me considering the very good returns that I’d made from our partnership. I’ll buy you lunch when i attend coming sat’s lesson.

Pls refer attached & for your info I’d tried to recommend some potential clients by sharing some of your info via emails to entice them but no luck so far. Don’t worry, I only share with them one or two times as it’ll be unfair to you & your clients. I’ll keep trying to look for potential clients for you.

Keep up with your good work.

Dear collin,

I can’t agree more with most earlier responses in regards to your efforts in wanting to do a good job to aid us in having positive returns with our stock and share investments. Though I’ve only got to know you recently ( after my previous assigned remiser had left Phillip Sec on “negative note” ), I appreciate your tiredless efforts, sincerity and frankness. I have no doubt that over time your repution will be known and your clientel base will grow. Though I hardly transact regularly in the market, your regular notes/messages/mobile sms’s are all very valuable and useful for my decisions making as and when I want to take positions. With warmest regards and best wishes.
