You're wrong ,... must wait for 50% drop-ma,... look at my postings below :-

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3727515/+3440

If you buy at 10% drop,... then you got no confidence in your conviction of waiting for a PROPER correction,... how can 10% drop only ??? NO face like that already, bro,....

Well,... for myself,...during this period of Trade War,... I'm going for FD only,... I have enough dividends coming in every month to wait,...

And I'm not waiting, perse,... I'm going for FD,...

You put in all your convictions that this company is strong and that company is weak,... then you based your buying patterns on your conviction. You do NOT have enough risk mitigation kungfu. You do not have enough safeguards against a possibility that your conviction of a good or a bad company MIGHT BE WRONG.

Does the dividend yield = the price drop ? - YOU ARE LOOKING AT A LAGGING EFFECT HERE !!!!!!! THIS WAY TO ANALYSE IS WRONG !!!!!!!

Rushing also got got me 60c per unit average price of UMS,... so what do you think ? Rushing is good or not,...

By the way, also many quarters of dpu already,...

Please continue to wait !

Has it ever occured to you that :-

1) UMS may not drop back to 80c ? If you answer me look what happen today,... then you're NOT an investor.

2) Has it ever occured to you you would have earned dividends too for the shares bought with $1.20 earlier ?

3) Has it ever occured to you that the price may not drop back to 80c, but may rise even higher which will lock you out even further from your 'wait' price ?

People like me with no patience and hence, a low quality investor also can catch UMS at 60c. YOU must be holding UMS at 50c now ? Are you ?

Just to add,...

The right way to make the above judgement is to predict as accurately as possible the dpu moving forward, and from here, the possible yield that will come from a particular REIT.

In the current period of rising interest rate environment, this skill is especially going to be very important. I'm too struggling over this now,....

You're wrong abt me - I did not buy at all when the price was at 50c. My prices were higher - but what do you think caused me to have such a low average price of 60c now ??

What is FOMO ?

Not me,... funds are being put into FD,...

Hedged in SGD also will require MORE Rupiahs to generate the SGD rental to pay,... this is also not a good thing,...

But FREIT will pull through, hence, this dip is a buying opportunity.

Hehe,... I noticed my name being mentioned multiple times up there,....

Back to topic,... emm,... I noticed the Astrea IV PE Bond Fund keeps steady or appreciates in price when the mkt meltdown days took place recently,...

I managed to catch a number of units at 1.00 recently when this bond fund IPO'ed. At 1.00 par price, my yield is at 4.35%, plus capital appreciation too.

Hence, if I have spare SGD, I can buy more of this bond fund,... and though I would be averaging up, my holding price is still low because my IPO price kept 'covering' the higher Buy prices.

Even if I continue to average up my prices here, my yield will still provide me above 4.10% return, paid out twice years, and with no lock-in period like an FD,... I can sell whenever I want,...

Well, that's my plan above for my idling SGDs now,....

The other plan for my idling SGDs now would be to give to my girlfriend,...

Try to impress her a bit to show her that I cared for her,....

You can sell,... don't listen to Ramjade,.. look at the volume everyday, and buy within limits of the volume,....

If you can't sell at the highest price competing with the front=end sellers, sell at a lower price and move up. So long as your price is low enough,you can still make money.

And secondly,... we are using this way to park money and earn a higher coupon rate while waiting to deploy the funds. The redemption date is very far away. Before the date arrives. I estimate we would have a turning point already in the current mkt,...

Sold Keppel Corp at 6.11 this morning. Need to let go already. Last night, in The US :-

1) The DJIA and the S&P500 LOST ALL THEIR GAINS FOR 2018.

2) The NASDAQ in declared to be in Correction Territory.

This morning,.....

YOUR PHILLIP SUMMARY

U.S. stocks plummeted Wednesday, with the Nasdaq falling the most since 2011. Treasuries rallied for a second day on demand for haven assets. The S&P extended its October rout to 8.8 percent, making it the worst month since February 2009. The Dow tumbled 600 points, and the Nasdaq Composite Index lapsed into a correction.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell to 3.117 percent, while the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond was lower at 3.336 percent. Worries about a slowing economy under pressure from rising interest rates grew after the Commerce Department said new home sales fell to a two-year low. The data also hit homebuilder stocks.

For myself,... if I do not have UMS in-hand now, then YES, if willing to hold long term. But if, say,... like me, my holding price is around 0.60, and it has already constituted a large part of my portfolio, then I can't enter anymore.

Just an opinion,... be careful,...
