Gong Xi Fa Cai ! Happy New Year ! Don’t forget the 12 Million Toto draw tomorrow.
I added some Tencent, MapleTree Logistics, MapleTree Industrial and ST Engineering during the market dip this month. February has been a roller coaster ride for the US stock market, the Volatility Index surged to almost 30 and the stock market plunge almost 1000 points giving back 50% of all the gains in 2017. While I was shopping for bargains, the market went up again recovering what it has lost before I could take any concrete actions. Looks like we are now trading in an environment where the robots have a certain set of stop loss rules thus triggering this panic sell despite a relatively healthy and vibrant economy. Did you managed to get some bargains during the flash sale ? If yes, congratulations !
Songs that are in my playlist these months : (Yeap, I caught a Hyukoh virus :-p)
Do u forsee a market crash this year or the next? Been 9 years since 2008 crash.
Hi Ken,
I wish I knew 🙂
Hello!
Impressive portfolio there! Just started on my investing journey here. Dont mind me but why why choose US stocks, theres a 30% dividend tax isn’t it? Hope to learn from you along the way.
Cheers,
Cupcake
Hi Kenneth,
My investment strategies has always been SG for dividends and US/China for growth. Thus, you may notice that most of my stocks in the US portfolio are not high yielding dividends stocks, they are more growth focused. Looking forward to learning from you.
Hi, any reason for being heavy weighted on Nikko REIT?
Hi My Sweet Retirement,
Nikko Reit only makes up 2% of my SG portfolio. To me, that’s not considered heavily weighted :-p.
I buy it to better understand ETF in general since the proposition of owning a basketful of REITS instead of shortlisting seems attractive. So far, the yield doesn’t seemed to justify it’s value. Let’s see if the recent tax break from the Government on REITS ETF will help boost the yield.
