I am on a mission to unlock the potential of people and ideas in the complicated world of stock investment. And I do this by helping people with knowledge skills we use in stock investment/trading but neglect - Wisdom!

I hope to achieve this by creating WISE Academy to promote the art & science of the World's Integrated Stock (Social) Exchange (WISE).

As someone who was wiped out in the Stock Exchange Crash of 1987, my passion for the lost and hurting investors grew and I start to look for knowledge and wisdom that will help others (globally), hence the introduction of Strategic, Scriptural, Technology-ESG, Global Standards, AI (Robo-trading), Blockchain, Cloud Computing, Satellite Internet and other related technologies.
