Asset Allocation 01 (Jun 09 - Jul 13)

Hi Chinaman,

I'm not really good at picking Dividend Stocks.

Most of my Dividend Stocks were picked before the Financial Tsunami because I wanted someting stable. However, they all crashed as well.

Example: Fraser Commercial, Hotung, Global Investment, K1, Stamford Land, OUE, Saizen.

In this type of market, I think it's better to buy after the next crash and go for capital gains, instead of dividends.


Take care,
Winston

Yes, boss....you are absolutely correct.

Excellent advice, I am accumulating cash but in stock is peanut, need to unload huge volume than can see 1/2 mill, thinking of selling Suntec at 28% gain bot in 2009 after Lehman collapse....On the other hand, if let go 1 property at the right price, straightaway 100% cash liao...hmmss, market dun look good.
This year is US President election year but what happen after that printing money again, can meh...euro is at it tipping point.

I should also start looking for any investment opportunity outside of the Financial Markets eg. agri land, small businesses etc.

If a Black Swan appears or if the financial system does collapse for a few weeks, I should at least have 10% of my assets outside of the financial system so that I can rebuild from there.

All paper assets including paper currency could be worthless in a big financial collapse.

Cant happen ? My grandfather was holding a lot of Japanese Banana Currency after WW2 ...



I was just thinking of my remisier friend.

Both of us left the company that we were working in, about 3 decades ago.

He became a remisier and I migrated.

Over the next 3 decades, he ploughed most of his money into "real assets" eg. properties and businesses, while I kept most of my money in "paper assets".

At this point in time, it looks like he is way ahead of me ....
