I started investing in US stocks in June 2019 via Maybank with an investment of RM100K. So far ive got a portfolio return of about 14%.
Im keen on long term holdings not trading stocks for short term gains.

My current portfolio of stocks are from the following companies:

1) Luckin Coffee
2) Phillips66
3) Bristol Myers Squibb
4) Microsoft
5) Wallgreens
7) Exxon Mobil
8) Momo
9) NextEra Energy

Im keen to know ppl here who are doing the same and to share tips and discuss strategies.

Any thoughts?

park here, doing research on stocks investments

There are already so many threads of similar nature here: https://forum.lowyat.net/StockExchange

Don't see the need to open a new thread outside.

as maybank shareholder thank you for patronizing maybank, but if you keen to make this as long term holding better you directly use US broker, cheaper, faster and more tools to play around. my 2 cents.

Wah ... 14% in 6 months. Very impressive.

I think you beat the market.

I agree.

Hopefully Maybank will distribute more dividend in the coming announcement.

Nope he didn't.

From early June till date, S&P500 is up 17+%

FANG+ is more impressive, at 40% returns.

Im a firm believer in long term results. Making 14% in 6 months is fine but anybody with half a brain could have achieved that. In the stock market is all about sustaining the gains. Its a marathon not a sprint.

Thats why i started this thread to learn from those more experienced than me.

War in Iran is coming at the 'right' time. US markets are at record highs and a correction is long overdue. Hope to get at least a minimum 10% correction to go in again.

Maybe can close this thread now? No point in having 2 USA stocks thread.

oh yeah... now I think about it, maybe I shouldn't do DCA. Should just place all in one go.

Thinking of buying Apple at $ 320, any thoughts?

Whats your rational or analysis to support this?

hi, since you are using Maybank, would like to know how do you use the broker to buy ETF, i.e Vanguard, SNP500? I have been searching NYSE and Nasdaq with no results.

For me, looking at current sentiment will be Tesla, Apple and Amazon. Never go wrong with these.

I dont think so. Its not about going wrong. Its about the correct entry point. Buying a stock at peak vs buying after a 20% dip is huge because not all of us will hold a stock for 5-10 years to even out the hikes and dips.

All these stocks are long overdue for a correction. No stock keeps shooting up. There comes a point when sellers will overcome buyers and send stock price down.

TESLA is classic example of an unsustainable rise. The graph is clear. Anything that displays a near vertical rise is bound to correct at some point. Its about when not if.

I look at 5 main criteria when selecting stocks:

1) Extension of current price vs 3 year average
2) Technical chart analysis
3) Financial health of company
4) News
5) Insider trading, buying/selling trends

The only certainty in life is tax and death.

I dont believe you can.

you have entered when stocks are overvalued.
This is the best opportunity of the decade for you to learn.

exit in 10 months, keep cash.
wait for 12 months post crash.
buy long-term profitable companies. always avoid IPOs.
