Strategies/Objectives before investing in Shares
-
what is your investment objective/strategies before buying shares?
are you short, long, in for the long haul like 5-10 years irregardless of the share price etc etc?
for me, I am in for the dividends and if there are capital appreciation, I will sell it off to realise the profit, then wait for downmarket before going in for bargains. I will usually buy blue chip. I own OCBC, UOB, CapitalMall, Capitaland so far, last time own DBS and Cosco.

Don't know leh, just anyhow whack
Just whacked Silverlake 0.33 and whacked First REIT rights at 0.165 only.
-
my objective is to earn and never lose money
-
My objective is only to improve cashflow via dividends and grow my networth via active income, and store savings back to further improve cashflow. Never ending cycle.
So just anyhow whack
-
Got anyhow whack with me? Today they went up :(

A greeny greeny counter when the market goes down.

Rooney, I studying Kingsmen Creative now.
Don't say I never share... I haven't decide to load a not only...
-
why nobody mention about sabana? 8.8% yield at current price. solid!
-
because First REIT at 9.64% at 0.665 and 17% gearing is much more attractive than Sabana at 9% with 26% gearing
-
now is .705 liao. a little late for me to get 9.64%. what is the exact dividend per unit ah
-
next distribution will be low. The following one will start the expected pro forma 6.4 cts per year
But as I mentioned in the 2nd post.... I bought on 10th Dec liao...
-
Anyone else entered Silverlake at 0.33 too?
-
Buying of shares depend largely on whether u are speculating or looking for long term investment...beside your stock portfolio should comprised mainly of long and short term investment...with emphasis more on dividend stock for long term investment..><"

Good luck with that if you are really into Futures Trading.

No, you guys will need all the luck I'm already doing fine at 110% ROI you need to understand the super big picture, it trumps all your stocks analysises.. Although there ARE good stocks but it seems you all are just picking random blue chips
-
futures as in indices futures?
-
I did try to appear being random
U do need some amount of luck in trading. I'm not particularly bothered about ROI because my main aim is not about earning $$ from the market, but eventually to have my own businesses running. I'm spending a lot of time to attempt starting the first one.
Basically, I'm very passive when it comes to putting $$ in stocks. E.g. Starhub. I enter Starhub when it was announced it lost BPL, and has been collecting >10% annual dividends p.a. without spending any extra effort or time to look at it at all.
Another thing is, what's your base capital and leverage ratio at 110% ROI? I have stocks with >130% ROI, my gf was even better, at >200% ROI. The greater your amount of base capital, the harder it is to manage it. With the things I want to do and achieve, I wouldn't want to risk a 6 figure base sum.

Do Futures as in commodities guys..
Why dont you look at the CRB index over the past few months and compare it with any stock index in the world.. Pure ownage.. The bulls in the stock markets are already running out of steam (less and less bulls) which i'm sure will lead to a huge selloff soon. My base capital is five figures but i'm going to try and get a 7 figure amount for my investment. I'm still finishing of Uni at the moment so all i did was to pump into actual commodities and wait. now that i'm out i can go further into stocks and currencies and futures too It'll be quite exciting hahahaa
Also, i'm pretty confident in my trades, and i dont diversify much. The riskest trades are the trades you don't really understand. Don't rely on luck
P.S. 200% ROI either shes extremely pro or its speculation
-
It's not speculation. The stock was EuYanSang at 30+ cts, and my gf merely observed their good business when she was at HK.
There may be a huge sell off soon, but seriously it won't bother me that much at the moment. Because my main aim is to generate cashflow not via the market alone.
While it is possible to earn via trading, and I do it sometimes, I find that it contributes little value-add to the economy. This is one reason why I have moved off that.
To get a 7-figure amount, you need at least a 1000% return on your 5-figure, assuming it is on the higher end. I don't know your time frame nor your situation, but do remember that the world's greatest investor achieved a 25% compounded annual return over a period of 50 years, and with lots of control, information, and people to help. Either that or you have to supplement with a pumping of a high 5-figure sum a year to hit that amount. I prefer the latter.
I have to add on that strategies and returns also depends on the amount of cashflow you have outside the market. Basically, anyone putting $$ into the market in the early months of 2009 will see nearly 100% or more in returns. The difference comes when you have a 5 figure sum to spare every 2 or 3 months. What are you going to do with it?

Well at the moment i'd still pool as much money as i can into my investment strategy.. Times like this come once in a long long time i have an exit strategy and i'm not gona miss it. Right into the decades to come there are still so many investing opportunities.. slowly putting part of your 5 figure sum into those and you'd be retired in no time lol
