DJ Betting That Croesus Will be Acquired -- Market Talk

While Croesus Retail Trust (S6NU.SG) gains after disclosing a buyout approach and initial negotiations, Citi being named the financial adviser for the potential transaction is an indication a deal may be imminent, some say. The company, which operates retail properties in Japan, has a near-S$750 million ($535 million). Croesus rises 3.7% today to hit 4-year highs.

Do you guys still going into Croesus ?

on the yield. Now got cash but not sure which to go in ?

still thinking either Aims or Croessus.

Boss,

why never consider adding these reits into your portfolio - CapitalComm, Capital Mall, Suntec, Keppel R, Keppel DC and Mapple GCC ?

boss,

I queued for Croesus. Now try to go for Aims too. wanna be like prophetjul too go for yield !

I m still building and shaping my Sg portfolio.

Should I have more retail reits or industrial reits ? Office reits ?

Any advise.

Ok, bro,...

Yeah, the thing abt Croesus is : we have to be prepared for cashcalls. YOU must have taken up a lot of their Rights Issues,...

You trimmed yr industrials and moved the funds over to Croesus,...for myself,.. I would have diversified to more ctrs instead, if something happens to Croesus, it's going to be painful.

We do not know that yet.

meaning this company will be privatized and we are not allowed to buy their shares ? sigh..true ?

When I give my talks to investors, I always say this : when a company is too good, it will come a time when :-

1) it will be privatized, or
2) there will be a buy-out and the conditions and situations will change.

Yes, the above is a sad fact,... and we must look for new counters after that. Hence, we must never stop learning. This year, in February,... Singpost opened the eyes of many old-timer investors,... Many old-timer investors who relied on Singpost for their 'income' just lost this source.

We must always have a counter in mind,... a backup counter in case our main one(s) 'failed us'. And we must always diversify our holdings, no matter how good one counter appears to be. Because if a counter is too good, then some parties would want to 'chiak' that counter for himself.

Bad counter - we lose money.

Good counter - we can't earn continuous money.

Boss,

5 counters holding enough ? Maybe I should trim and have less counters so that can focus well ?

Everything you also think from the cost side. And assume people hold less counter because of the puny dividend handling charge.

If you always think about the cost side, how to become successful in investment ? 

I have only about 10 counters. Not because of the cost, but because of my own preference.

I never bothered about those 0.xx% cost. Too little for the effort. Should concentrate of finding the right counter...

Of course, unless you are trading, then every small cost counts

I totally agree with RAMJADE. To me cost is very important..

why want to pay higher cost .. if end of the day getting the same thing.?

From young.. hv been drilled into my head.. A DOLLAR SAVE is A DOLLAR EARN....

You have the privilege (time and opportunity) to open the accounts in Singapore. For those who are so busy, they may feel it is not worth it at all. The amount is too small relative to the dividend amount

Of course, if a person can afford the time, it is good to have a Sg account. But if don't have a Sg account, one can always invest in SGX as well.

Although I have accounts in Sg, but I can understand those who feel not worth it to go down purposely to open a account

its only 5 hours away.. .i already did research up to ESTATE PLANNING before parking my hard earn $ in singapore....
and also have an exit plan in place.

Its actually easier to do estate transfer in Singapore than in M'sia...

Dun put all funds in Sg la.. for me its only 20%...

Thats why i hesitated to open other brokers online.. Especially the US or HK base ones as they cannot answer me how to port back $$$ in case SAYONARA.

Anyway to port back $$ to M'sia.. CIMB SG to CIMB MSIA.. according to their website is immediate...

but got daily limit.

Also can put ATM card into machine to withdraw cash.. many avenues to easily cash out from M'sia.

what is NTUC will?

As for me, I opened a joint name account. just in case one person is critically ill, another person can always port out the fund back to Sg.

and also I agree with Elea, put only half of your savings in Sg, and other half in Msia.

In the industrial field, Ascendas REIT (A-REIT) and Mapletree Logistics Trust (MLT) are DBS’ top “buy” rated picks with $2.65 and $1.28 price targets for their financial flexibility to pursue acquisitions or redevelopments.

A-REIT has a large diversified portfolio and strong balance sheet with sufficient headroom to pursue DPU-accretive acquisitions, say Song and Tan, while MLT has replaced Mapletree Commercial Trust (MCT) for its better risk-reward profile and the fact that it has largely completed the repositioning of its portfolio, which had been negatively impacted by the conversion of several single-tenanted properties to multi-tenanted ones.

wonder why A-Reit is not a hot reit pick in this forum ? anyone having this A-Reits in their portfolio ?
