Ahh..arguments like these are good for us silent readers sometimes as there are different sides to look at for investing.

But at the end of the day it is the return that you are able to generate for your portfolio that matters. No point being vocal about something without being able to show real result.

I remember a certain guy who was part of a lot of arguments here previously showed his real portfolio in Asx thread and that is admirable.

Yea he is good, but if we don't know if we are good, are we better off just diversifying and not thinking too much, as opposed to reading and misinterpreting and blowing up stuff?

I for one practice proper diversification and just let it ride through with regular DCA. Hehe


Anyways... another read for the afternoon.

My portfolio since Dec2015. Been doing regular DCA and with only one major change when I got bored of libra asnita and switched all into Reits just before the major sell off. Will be holding this for the coming year as well and let it auto pilot. Attached Image

every investment vehicle has it's usage
by simply dismissing one without knowing its strengths / weaknesses severely limits one's options & flexibility.

having said the above, then the obvious Qs would be:
1. What stocks to buy?
Good companies at worthwhile cost - eg for local Nestle, PBBank, DLady, LPI, etc. for foreign MCD, CVX, KO, 3M, GOOG, etc - at the cost vs value one wants.
No one wants to buy these stocks? Sure?
AND why would i sell in a down market, if i've planned my emergency funds & investing properly?
In fact, i'd buy more tongue.gif

2. If one does about MYR2.5K per transaction (based on old costing, now there are 0% for cash up front funded a/c), the commissions' on stock purchase is lower than even FSM.

However, if one has less than MYR500 per transaction, the commission or service charges are lower for FSM

3. Holding stocks do not cost anything
Holding mutual funds and even ETFs cost a %, thus if markets go sideways forever, guaranteed losses.

Being logical and ever learning in investing goes a long way.
Dismissing stuff without having facts & comparisons in different context severely limits one unless one like "to fall in love" with a particular vehicle - i know some are "only properties", some are "only long stocks", some are only UTs. No wrong, just severely limiting oneself or just drew a line not to cross due to comfort-level, time, etc.

Just a thought  notworthy.gif

Agree with WongSifu here. I think Dividend Magic said this in his blog as well. Don't have to dismiss them as "kids". Anyway to each their own, as long as you can maximise your growth in NAV within your knowledge and capability.

Friendly advice to people who are new here.. Don't take what everyone says as gospel truth here. Make your own judgement by gathering their views and read on other sources. Some people here are very new themselves and there are some who are already seasoned. Cheers smile.gif
