These poor shops can survive ah? 

Thanks 
Your Tambun also very good show today.

I also disposed Panamy today to change to Hua Yang.

Slow.
I got the opportunity to dispose at 21 and still make a small profit.
So I decided to dump for a better counter. 

Even I like the div, I still not yet on board in this counter. There are other better counters out there. Until most of them are fully valued, I will come back to big giants for the stability of the price. Until then, I will still Q low low to try take a swipe on this counter.

I am interested on this..Can PM me?

I bought some to average down during the 19s, making my ABP around 20.30.
For duration I guess you can easily dug it up, but it's around somewhere nearby November last year.

Waiting for price to drop further, hopefully until end of this month, where fresh supply of money coming in 

Very strange.
When earnings was diving to the deep end, all want to buy cos of dividends. 
Now when earnings shows signs of improvement, no one interested? 

The power of group thinking.... 

Must be Japanese Ramen
Indeed spending habit for middleclass has change a lot

Laosai a lot? 

Dividend investing is a good strategy, for constant 'safe' growth with overall lower risk. One should not be looking at purely dividend yield only for dividend investing. Also as a dividend investor, stock price is merely a guide for entry/exit.

BUT if you find a high yield, low PE, high FCF, good dividend growth and protected by 'moat'.. by all means sai lang...

In my opinion, the most important factor we should look at FCF growth and dividend growth. This means that the stock is able to grow it's dividend over time at a constant albeit slower rate of growth. This strategy has benefited many investor who prefer slow and steady growth.

These stocks have the capacity to ride the ups and downs of the market, as we can ignore the price as long as we are satisfied the dividends keep increasing year on year at a rate higher than inflation. These are truly long term holdings... IF you buy at the right price. 

My one very plain and simple, only buy the stock u feel comfortable with and able to hold for 3-5 years.

For example i'll to analyze by:
1.Business strategy apply by the management, compare it with the competitors, there must be a strength point for that company to become no.1 in that industry.
2.Management integrity, this one a bit hard for anchovies like us, but u can judge by news and corporate exercise.
3.Then look into financial data, business ratio etc.
4.Entry price, this one is very subjective. I buy in based on my six sense and observant on the graph, and sometimes the overall environment.

Just my own opinion on selection
I still think that for a dividend investor, they should look at the yield instead of growth, let say set a benchmark of 6% and select from the list.

For a non-citizen to buy a property in Singapore, the government will charge 30% stamp duty

Wah, I say if you get such stock.. so far don't dare to sai lang...

The world economy should be booming n yr pocket is full.

Many are betting on the constant factor ...........where there is a short supply in the world .

Anyway, thanks for sharing yr thought with us.

U sound like Fed Ben, with unlimited money .

Dow Jones is not a constantly growing stocks.. laggard stocks are usually removed and better stocks put into the Dow Jones index. Over the years the Dow Jones index has probably changed more stocks constituents than you change underwear... A lot of the stocks in the creating of the index is no longer then, either bankrupt or merged out.

Dow Jones September 14, 1929


Dow Jones September 14, 2012

Big difference eh? 

As you wish..

Dow Jones June 1, 1959


Only GE & dupont survived from 1960 to 2012...

But around the world the OPR rates is at record low, sooner or later the rates need to be raised, it cannot stay low forever...and also most country is at max already and cannot go any lower unless some genius comes up with negative OPR rates. 

IMHO I am thinking bonds, property & reits is now approaching bubble status due to artificially low interest rates.

  In the end only -10 points. Hardly a correction.

Japan is going to implode sooner or later.. debt to GDP ratio is like 250%... and counting.

Yes Japan has zero rate for 2 decades, but the stock market, property prices etc has not stopped FALLING for 2 decades...since 1980's. 

In fact the government is struggling to TARGET minimum 2% inflation... what a joke already.
