limited trading hours for today.

wah .... HKD suddenly strengthened against USD.

how come?

so the trade deal doesn't strengthen USD, only HKD?

Is any of the Fortune REIT properties affected by the HK protest?

thinking of buying Tencent but at 400HKD per unit and min 100 unit, then min purchase is RM40,000??

so expensive!

why LINK REIT but not Fortune REIT?

True but still very pricey.

so when sell also min 100 units?

yes, I agree. Link is better for long term, especially when you consider the price appreciation about 15% CAGR over the past 9 years vs Fortune, only about 9%.

I hold Fortune simply because I had HKD which I got it ready to buy AliBaba but in the end, I bought the one in NYSE. Since I already got HKD, I thought of buying a stock which I can hold for short to medium term instead of converting my HKD back to another currency. This is only temporary as I try to figure out which other US/EU stocks to invest. I chose Fortune over LINK in the end due to the higher dividend yield. Both are great with increasing DPU. If I were to hold long term, LINK would definitely be better. It's not bad to buy now (since I try not to time the market), but around 80HKD would be optimal.

thanks to wuhan virus, I think it may go under 80 HKD.

Will TopGlov listed in SGX also benefit?

less than 80hkd now. It's time!

I thought you wanted to buy earlier? now you want to wait?

later? when??

by the way, what's the reason LINK and Fortune keep going down since July 2019? Is it just the protest?

can definitely open lah .... MY & SG are like brothers!

try to read the other thread about opening a bank account in SG.

so HSI is better than HK REITs?

TOS I usually refrain from convincing ppl to invest but since you contributed quite a lot to this forum, I thought I should also give you my 2¢.

I agree with what apathen said. If I were you, I'd open a trading acc in HK and keep at least one bank acc in HK. Once you leave, it's almost impossible to open. I still have my bank accounts in 2 european countries and my trading acc there is still active, even though I try not to use them nowadays. I'll never know maybe in the future, I might use them again.

I can't remember if it was Warren or Charlie, but it was said that time in the market is more important than timing the market. So, you should stay invested as early as possible. I wish I knew stock markets and investment when I was 18yo.

Sorry; I can't remember what you said, can you please remind me again? What's the difference between HSCEI and HSI ETF fund? I think it's 2828 and 2800? Which is better?

edit for more info: I was actually more interested in HK REITs. Since I'm focusing more on growth stocks in the US & Europe, I thought I should balance my portfolio with dividend stocks in HK & SG. But @Markdestiny said, HK Reit is not worth it...., so time to choose HSI/HSCEI?

ah, thanks! I thought I read somewhere before that there were overlapped. I must have confused with something else. They are both very different and makes me feel like an idiot now.

anyway, HSCEI is mostly reliant on CCP, no? it's mostly government controlled?

will this affect HK REITs?

HONG KONG, Feb 12 - Some shopping mall landlords in Hong Kong, including Sun Hung Kai Properties, the city's largest property developer by value, are offering relief measures such as rental concession to their tenants during the coronavirus outbreak.

Sun Hung Kai Properties, who owns major malls in some of the local districts that host international fashion brands ranging from Coach to Zara, said on Wednesday it would reduce February rent by 30-50% for most of its tenants, in an effort to stabilize economy and protect employment.
