Interview With Jimmy Of My Creative Invest

Woohoo! Finally gotten my 23rd interviewee for the "Interview With Peer Investors" series. With an average of 2 interviews per month (phew, time flies, my blog already existed for almost 11 months now), I really wanted to thank all the participants (some already become friends) in agreeing to join me for the fun. I truly believed that it is a win-win proposition.
 
My next interviewee is Jimmy of My Creative Invest. He is a few years my junior but definitely has more investing experience than me. Without further ado, let's take a look at Jimmy's investing journey thus far.  

Enjoy!

Q1 : Can you give us a brief introduction about yourself?
Q1 : At this time of writing (Feb 2015), I am a 42 years old male, married with 2 beautiful daughters.

Q2 : Are you a full-time or part-time investor at the moment?
A2 : part-time investor or a hobby to me. Kinda like investment and earning money heehee

Q3 : When (at what age) did you start investing in shares and who has influenced you the most?
A3 : I am not new to investing. In fact I have been investing throughout my life. My mum introduced stock investing to me. She still do stock investing sometimes buying at ridiculous time during bear market and penny stocks. Sometimes I would give her my puzzled look with her buy calls haha. But overall she did better than me, collecting dividends and win some tikams. I first started mine when I was doing my NS dabbling with IPOs and buying stocks etc. Now I still do.

Q4 : Do you view yourself as long-term (holding shares in years), short-term investor (holding shares in days/months) or mixture?
A4 : I used to be a short-term investor banking in capital appreciation of stocks. Now I hoped to be a long term dividend investor

Q5 : What is your basis of selecting the shares to invest (e.g. basing on fundamental analysis, technical analysis or other methods/sources [share a little bit more details if it is the latter])?
A5 : I select my stocks based on high dividend yield, low PE, low PBR, low debt and high ROE. But sometimes its really difficult to find a stock which satisfied all my criteria. So will have to close one-eye on some of the criteria. Basically going for high dividend stock 6% and above.
