Buying Spree

Recently, I have purchased shares for:

Dividend
1) Sabana REIT - valuation and yield are attractive
2) New - Singapore Post

This should be in line with expanding my dividend portfolio.

Growth
3) New - Noble Group
4) Boustead

On the other hand, I have included Noble Group for my growth (short to medium term) portfolio, mainly due to commodities sliding down which present a chance to buy.

It will be interesting to keep watch on the global stock markets for the next few months, taking into account the events unfolding and investors' fear of the next recession, driven by a host of factors such as the unstable debt nature of USA.

Meanwhile, in times of crisis, opportunities come by and it's always good to have a ready war chest to maximize opportunities.

Not to forget the counters in your watchlist. I have kept a close tab on some stocks.
Remember - do not deplete your savings or emergency fund.

Happy Hunting!

Reflections in 2018 with objectives in 2019

Image
It’s the time of the year again – reflections in 2018 and new targets in 2019.    Just like a company performance review, it’s good to take a pit stop.   I hope my post below serves as an inspiration to many or perhaps to reflect back on where you are and what you plan to do in 2019. Every individual is different - this makes us very special in our own way.    For me, in investment - it’s always good to “be open but pragmatic, have a stronger conviction and guts to proceed but make sure it’s something you truly understand." In case you will like to read my end year post for 2017 – it’s written here .  Things which I did in 2018 To have one or two “killer stocks” in my portfolio I still hold on to Keppel Corporation, a local conglomerate that I believe will reap in future earnings potential from a multi-pronged strategy.   The new growth drivers are properties (especially in Vietnam) and urban solutions.   Keppel Urban Solution is a new business unit

How an Angel Investor size up a Start-Up

Image
This has been a busy but exciting year. As an Angel Investor, I have been sniffing around for opportunities across businesses in areas like F&B, grocery retailers, import/export and technology IPs. My core attention is start-ups, preferring founders who are commercially aware about trends and drivers, who have a deeper thought for things and issues around the world. This will lead them to think clearly about creating a product or service that disrupts/provide diversion from traditional processes yet be able to offer originality and value to their target audience. Therefore, it’s not just solving problems only; it’s not about social good but to make sure your 3Ps are there - pragmatic, profitability and positioning. Positioning in the right consumer or enterprise segment before strengthening the core attributes. At least, the business has to earn a decent $1 net profit after the breakeven point. Meaning, sustainability comes first. Don’t even think of capturing market share. Y

Multiple sources of income - the origin

I am always on the look out for MSIs (multiple sources of income) to increase my wealth position. Hopefully, I am able to reach my targeted financial goal. The MSIs should be consistent with steady inflow over one calender year and not a one-off gain or lumpy earnings. After much thoughts, I decide to list down the places where money is able to work for me harder and not I work for money always: (a) Savings (b) Bonds (c) Shares that has potential for capital appreciation (d) Investments that generate dividends - (e.g. shares) (e) Real estate investments (f) Rental income from properties (g) Owning my own business (h) Commissions (i) Referral fees (j) Franchising fees (k) Consulting (l) Endorsements (e.g. celebrities) (m) Royalties (e.g. books, CDs, seminars, games, inventions, software etc.) (n) Network marketing (o) Online - (e.g. affiliate programs, per click etc.) My next aim is (e) and (f) - what about you?
