Hindsight is 20/20.
An opportunity gone is gone. We just have to open our eyes and do prudent homework to search for undervalued companies

sianzzzz tt time suntec reit was only 50cents (works out dividend to be 25%).. i bought at 99.5cts.. now, it got some placement issue, so the shareholdings r diluted means lesser dividends.. also got high risk of rights issuesthat time I ploughed money into capitaland, so no money to buy suntec reit :(
Really buy till left $200 in bank at the start of March... Only blaming myself... so cheap, but I out of cash to buy :(
UOB KH at 80cts as well during that time.... SPH $2.3 but no money to average down...
-
Whether a particular piece of stock or reit is worth investing is really up to the individual...i myself plough a sum of money into singpost recently.....some ppl might comment tat it might be overvalue..but i still feel tat all in all it boils down to the individual.....just invest in watever best suit u....tat's the key....if anyone in this forum is really so great in investment....he would have been the next Warren Buffet instead of throwing his views here....
-
Maybe I'm young but I prefer hit and run kinda trading. I can go for long or short positions helping me earn even when stocks are going down.
-
well said, Maxsee... I found out eventually (and luckily, early enough) that as long as you are comfortable with your purchase and backed with fundamentals, you will not fear when the market takes a dip... Instead, you would just scoop in to buy more and average down... I don't think it is overvalued for long term outlook, especially when it is a defensive dividend stock, but for me, I wouldn't buy at the moment.... yet....
Desertkrieg, that's another way of earning. I have tried hit and run, but I discovered that it is not really for me... Emotionally cannot... I ride the bigger waves instead nowadays... Got winners and losers of course, but most important must win more than lose...
-
Haha of course must win! HUAT AH. Yeah hit and run is tiring, eagle old liao. Haha

wow what is with all the age comparisons. haha i tried hit and run. too scary, and a lot of time spent infront of monitor. rather do fundemental investing then techinical trading. any of u got any leads on companies worth investing? would appreciate knowing which companies reports to read.

I wouldn't go for it personally... although upside potential remains...
I have my own set of rules I will follow...
-
alright thanks guys. i am looking forward more to dividend payouts compared to upside. but i will still go read up on the 2 companies mentioned above. GRP and capitalmall reit.
then again can you guys share how u find out which companies to do research on? cause for my case i am basically reading up on the active counters, which i figured is kind of pointless since it will most likely be overvalued due to being hot. thanks

Taken from another forum
I know an ex-investment banker who is retired at 35. He gets paid a lot but he saved very aggressively, shunning the norms in the profession where most drive continental cars and wear expensive suits. Every month, he invests almost all of his salary in SingPost. In the good years, he could earn up to half a million a year from his job. When he was fired from his job last year at 35, he has close to 1.5 million invested in that one very unexciting company, with a average dividend yield of 7%. Yet, he is getting close to 100k passive income in dividends per annum. He only spents about 4k per month, meaning he reinvests his dividends back from his dividends. Basically, this case makes a mockery of everyone here who is struggling with 8-5 jobs ... ... but it also demonstrates how easy and relaxing it can be if you have sufficient capital to make your money work for you. -
Heard that the STI index max point
will be only 3200 points for 2010
True or False?

I don't bother much about analysts' reports, so I have no comments. I just make my own analyses, and go along with the flow.
Also, it depends on what you do and your strategies. Trade or invest.

its possible. I got DBS stock, who gave me 3 times dividends since 2009. 1 lot they gave out $160. If you have 10 lots of DBS shares, 160 x 10.

wow.... not bad...

last year got a ST report, a retiree go loan 3m from the bank, using his 2 condo as collateral and bought CMT when it was 0.90. Now CMT has risen to 1.82 and declared dividends.
so how dividends did he get? if he were to sell now, how much would he have pocketed?
-
Rooney, what age is that retiree? 35 too? The forum post which I reposted here is on someone who's only 35 yrs old... forced to retire, and happily retired at 35...
For me, I'm planning to get a collateral on my current portfolio to do something similar on the next downturn...
Can go up to 200% financing, but I think I will only take about 100%... Can't reach 3m that much though, but sufficient to play with....

Got many chances to load Starhub below $2 what...
I'm all prepared for a 2nd downturn.... First one happened when I just came out to work, no money :(
It's not about having 100k.... It's about if you will have 100k spare... They could already be all in shares at bargain prices...
