Smrt. Drop fking a lot. Hmm... cought cought

Start of last year every month I buy till no $ left in bank, pple think I'm crazy to do that, crazy to buy.

Now I so hesitant don't dare to buy, pple dare dare buy or consider to buy... Hmmm....

My only most recent purchase is Keppel Green Trust at $1.14, first batch of 5 lots. Preparing for another 2 (or maybe 3) more batches if the price gets lower.

Thinking to sell the more volatile Capland together with some wrong purchases so that profits erases losses too... and redeploy funds to my adopted strategy.

Rooney9 SG

now the prices of shares are sky high. UOB is 20, OCBC 9 and DBS 14.50, CapitalMall 4, Genting 1.2 etc etc.

dunno should wait for it to drop then buy or if buy now, the prices are too high.

eagle SG

What are you buying for? What is your strategy for buying?

What happens if market tanks 50%. Can you afford to keep your cash in it?

Different people have different circumstances. I'm afraid you will have to discover your own strategy.

btw, I'm looking at SP Ausnet... Missed it at 92c because too busy haven't had time to look through and think through

Might just buy in for the yield

As of today, the support for STI is around 2.7 K and the resistance level is about 3K. I think it has reach the top of mountain.

3k resistance being tested as support.

I doubt it will hold past this week as heavyweight Singtel is going to XD tomorrow.

Look at long term trends people.. I do mining stocks and precious metals and commodities and forex which is currently giving me the most returns

Really never hold past this week

I'm not looking at most returns. I rather spend less effort and be happy with smaller amount of returns via dividends of maybe around 7%, with potential capital appreciation in the long run.

>9k dividends p.a. now. Slowly grow. I must adhere to discipline in following personal strategy. The few times I didn't follow, quite jialat.

eagle SG

After running up so much, a healthy correction is required. Those on my watchlist are not moving much... no GSS for me...

There should still be one more rise before a much more major correction sets in.

Rooney9 SG

so now is the correction by the market? I am thinking of buying, but then I am beset by feelings its better to watch on the sidelines first before going in.
