If you have been following my blog posts, you will know that I have made 3 sell transactions this month. I have sold off Sheng Siong, Cambridge Industrial Trust and MobileOne Limited (M1). My investment thoughts have slightly change a bit this month and I shall share with you why this is so.

Sheng Siong is one of my favorite company in my stock portfolio. It is such a fantastic growth company with zero debt. See how the stock continues the uptrend over the 5 year period. For Sheng Siong who is expanding aggressively by opening more and more stores in Singapore, hiring manpower for new stores is a continued challenge due to the current labour crunch in the market. This is also a common challenge among Jumbo and Breadtalk businesses where the nature of the business in the service industry is labour intensive.
