hahaha... all share also depending on chart... and i'm not trader... just an advise only. 

unless you like WB... bought close the platform and do not open another 10 year! 

it is not so much about the trouble of buy and sell.

it is all about the transaction costs!

go back a few years, each buy and sell cost 1%. even now incl gst it's 0.5-0.6%.

over the years and thousands of trades. >50% of "losses" are due to brokerage!!

remember the 90s... remisiers and brokers were among the highest income earners, collecting houses and land while you punters bleed.

but no more, brokerage has come down, but not low enough still.

i await the day 1 buy or 1 sell cost rm1 or sgd1.

hehe... i knew that was going on, just i wasn't in it then.

first reit today 1.22. just saw it.. anybody buy?

PAP won, monday sgd and sti up & up?

Free Seminar in Sgp on this coming Saturday. It's not too difficult to take an economical flight early morning down to Sgp to attend this. Or you can take a coach down the day before, but you will need a place to put up in for the night.

You can learn how to open accounts there, and many other questions that you may have. IT'S DEFINITELY WORTH IT !!

Good luck ! Please put in effort to help yourselves,....

Attend seminar. Network. Ask questions and learn abt opening of bank accts, brokerage accts and unit trust accts.

Read the article carefully,... it's not only for Singaporeans. And if it's only for Singaporeans, so what ??? When I first started many years ago, all these talks were mostly attended by Singaporeans only,... come on, so what ?? We make friends with them-lar,...

Public transportation is convenient, makan is tasty, clean and reasonably-priced (don't convert), 'girls are pretty', environment is clean,... go before they close their doors !!!!!!

BUT IT'S ALL UP TO YOU ALL-LAR,... I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE IN THIS FORUM, ESPECIALLY IN THIS THREAD. FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE KEEN TO DIVERSIFY OUT OF THIS COUNTRY.

Edited by adding final para...

us fed no int rate hike.

tmrw, can buy some good yield reits.

most already up, like i expected.
would like to add capitamall and suntec but both up a lot already...

now considering aimsamp and starhill.

haiz... everything up >2 cents.

will hv to wait for next chance.

Hopefully no need to wait for another month. If something bad out of China between now and that October date for Janet Yellen to speak again, then the chance comes again.

SOmehow,... I am beginning to lose hope that I can depend on the Feds to help me,...us to be able to buy-in cheaper for SG REITs. Must look for other stimulus news already.

My objective is Yield... returns over time.
and preferably Cap appreciation too.
Storing funds in SG for my kid to use for overseas study.

And.. since i am not so good in Analysis.. i go for the diversification concept.
Hence a little bit in everything.

Overall portfolio is not that huge a negative.
Eg: my Lippo Malls is -ve 30%... but i get +ve 29% for Sheng Siong...

Since i do not have a huge position, i do nothing.. Did not take profit or Cut loss...
Also, i dunno right or wrong.

My biggest total holdings is in AIMS so far...

like u said.. after costing in Yield collected and Forex, return is definately better
than keeping in RM.

ya, fishing, fishing...

use yr usd to buy - 1.43 now!

Good morning.

Yes, agreed,... a lot of value buys now. Don't look at REITs only,... remember to diversify. Look at dividend stocks also. But don't look at yield only. Look at the DPU sustainability, investigate the company background closely.

Decided to change tactic a bit - change MYR into USD FIRST, then when ready to fire ammo in a month or two , change over to the SGD. Will get more bank when changing over from USD to SGD later. When ready to load-up, then only convert over the USD to SGD.

Yes,... but please do not focus on REITs only. Do have a peek on strong dividend counters too. As you have mentioned earlier, Starhub is one of them, though there is an entry of a fourth Telco player soon.

This is the time to diversify our Sgp holdings out into different sectors for more resilience.

yes, this will happen.

hence selling some usd to buy sgd now is not a bad idea.

but... the usd will slowly creep back up again in time.

becos... all nations, all equities, all commodities are in bad shape.

only us treasuries stay mighty.

Hi bro,... I heard of Valuetronics and took a quick look at it. My negative opiions :-

1) They pay out dividend once a year - a bit too slow for my liking before the money comes to me.
2) Their divvy is paid out in the HKD - currency risk later on.
3) If you look at their DPU over the years, they go up and down and not very consistent. As of the latest period, they are running at a yield of 8.80%, that's good,.. but we have to think of the sustainability.
4)If I am not mistaken, Valuetronics is in the electronics manufacturing outsourced business, right ?

Just quick glances at their DPUs over the years, compare against currenct price and whatever I could recall that they do.
