ya, i plan to keep this n a few others "long term", i.e. no plans to sell at all.

so, odd lots does not matter to me at this time.

good for you.

this ireit global is looking sick.

the fin results were ready since feb 4, yet we won't get them until feb 27.

from the continuous price dipping for last few weeks, can conclude insiders already know not-so-good news coming on feb 27.

get ready to dump...

India.... So many bourses, limited money...

Can decide on local or foreign, developed or emerging markets, regular stocks or reits/etfs/diversified funds, Strong stable or volatile currencies. Just no unit trusts or mutual funds.

Can't have it all, can't spread too thin, can't monitor too many

If and when I dump this ireitglobal, I will just put the money in an existing Sg reits or U.S. stocks. Happy enough.

Which sg reit has india props? Revenues in rupees?


I had looked at a couple of us bourse emerging market etfs focused on india recently. While emerging mkts may come back strongly, I am nervous about currency swings.

Having said that, need to do some work on Aud, aussie stocks, reits, etc. get ready... when commodities rebound, this currency will fly.

that was what i thought when i looked at the performance charts of some etf's focused in india.

i have a weak heart... better stay away from "high risk, high gain" currencies and markets...



just stick to king usd and queen sgd!

won't go below 3.70 wor... we'll see...

div announcement due tmrw.

interesting price has moved back up to 0.87.

may not be such a disaster after all.

still, given the poor liquidity, i will consider selling after div news.

mine is 0.89 too.

if i sell, i put all into firstreit - i see good potential in this one.

problem is this one keeps going up, a bit too fast!!

too bad, all good sgreits getting expensive...

if i can't get firstreit at decent price, i will put the money in a us healthcare etf, xlv.

announcement said...

dpu 3.330. based on price $0.865, yield is 7.699%.

but i can't find info when it will be paid, ex-date, etc...?

not much reaction in trading today.

u shud be able to buy any us etf like any us counter if yr platform/broker is prepped for us stocks. just be aware of the board lot size and min brokerage as they can be very different from that of bursa or sgx.

etf's or exchange traded funds are almost like mutual funds and unit trusts - baskets of equities tracking certain indices incl s&p500, oil, financials, healthcare, tech, etc. the main difference is etf's can be bought n sold anytime online like any counter, brokerage charges same as individual counters. so, it is a lot more cost effective and convenient than mutual funds/unit trusts. the most popular etf's are among the highest traded volumes on nyse or nasdaq everyday.

u can check this xlv or any other etf - past performance, holdings, geography, etc.

talking of which, this xlv has been going up n up - another one running away too fast!

if interested, can discuss in more appropriate thread:

this firstreit...

now firmly 1.36, volume is still very good, think it'll try 1.40 again!

i was right to reinvest last div at 1.27! just got news from broker those shares will be credited by next week.

anyway, if it returns to 1.33, will add.

ireit global ex-div today.

div 2.6 cents, price dropped 3.5 cents to 83.

poor!

giving up...

will just wait for the chance - sell ireit whatever price, put the money in one of my others when it dips enough.

so far, no chance - not firstreit, not cdl, not aimsap, not starhill... not even soilbuildbiz!

can't stand a losing counter!

want to sell ireit, too low.
want to buy firstreit, too high.
so, do nothing.

converting accumulated div to rm today, need some money to spend.

sgd 2.66x, usd 3.65x, can do.

this one, no worry - still good yield, has room to move up slowly.
79->80->81->... maybe 85 by year end.
