Should you invest through your company? Especially if I own the company, is this a feasible idea? What challenges might I face?

I have a registered company doing e-commerce. Is it possible to use the same company for some long term investments incl stocks etc or would that be a problem or conflict with the main business? Curious if it's so easy or not.

For investments under a company name, capital gains and dividends are taxed. Hence effective return is lowered.

If you solely own the company, it will be better to invest under your own name to avoid getting taxed on dividends and capital gains.

Also looking at your questions you have an account with funding society. Given the current market condition, it is not advisable to put your hard-earned money into unsecured corporate bonds especially so if they are SMEs.

How do you know if your idea that underlies the starting of a company is feasible or not?

I have sold my DPMS Capital Growth IGP (SGD) and STATE STREET Technology ETF (USD) with 2 different investment companies. Is it normal to face delay for the transaction of payment into my fund's account?

I'm a late starter. I'm 69 years old and have money to invest. I want a balanced portfolio. I'm thinking Dividend Growth stocks might be a good idea. Is it?

Is Salesforce a good buy? Salesforce to buy Slack in US$27.7b megadeal. I think it might be a good boost for their company, especially since Slack is increasinly commonly used?
