I think it is better for you to buy unit trust. Then treat the unit trust as a "property " collecting rental . Next year (2017) probably will be a good time to buy.

If you had asked Peter Lim what he uses to guide his actions in the stock market, guess what his answer will be?
I am not even 100th of a Peter Lim but you have already in a previous post summarised my strategies.
If I share fully then the strategies will be at risk of backfiring. What I can say is, several strategies with stocks, including identifying current price below actual market value, can work well to sustain 5% gains annually. Momentum trading is another possibility but must move ahead of the pack consistently.
The three laws of Kelonguni:
Where there is kelong, there is guni.
No kelong no guni.
More kelong = more guni.
Starhub share price drops 5% today. All time high was 4.7. You bought below <$3 in 2011 & hv the intention to hold for long term. Now you will blame yourself for not selling >$4.. Now Emotional starts to build up. To Hold , ave down ,or sell. The more you know about the movement of the share price. The more you are confused. You may start to react. This is normal reaction for 90%. of the investors.
So for those who are emotionally charge investors. I think you are more suitable to just buy GOOD unit trust fund. But Patience is really key in investing.

The Physiology of Emotional and Irrational Investing
========================================
When we fear something, we are likely to take measures to avoid it.
The 1st level of fear on a certain stock which you have the intention to buy. It may not be a good price at 1st level of fear.
When the price drops further, the 2nd level of fear comes in. You are confuse. To buy or to wait for it to drop further.
When the price drops even further, the 3rd level of fear comes in. Now you are so FEARFUL that you just want to wait to wait & wait.
But actually it is the time to buy. But only a few minorities of the experience investors will start to buy.
Cut loss - When a trade turn bad from good. Example Kepcorp
================================================
The 1st CUT LOSS is the most important Right decision you will make if the trade has gone from good to bad.
If the 1st CUT LOSS is not executed . Then the 2nd CUT LOSS at least help you to minimise the losses even more.
But if the 1st & 2nd CUT LOSS are also not executed. You will never have the courage to CUT so it is TOO PAINFUL to CUT.
You become a LONG TERM INVESTORS. You just HOPE it will go back to the price that it is less PAINFUL to CUT.
It may take years or will never comes.
So for those who are emotionally charge investors. I think you are more suitable to just buy GOOD unit trust fund. But Patience is really key in investing.
Never NEVER NEVER use CPF OA to invest if you are a emotionally charge investors.
Last Year Aug15, the westerner control Financial media news said that China stunned financial markets by devaluing yuan from 6.30 to 6.4+.
The big speculators & the Vulture hedge fund started to short Shanghai index. With the help of CNN , Bloomberg , CNBC etc to paint a
"disaster coming" scenario that China may collaspe. The whole of Asia stock mkt crash. Shanghai index crashed the most. It Drop from
3300 to 2500. The China govt had to step in to ensure its stability.
Today, Rmb has weaken from 6.48 to 6.89. A 6% dropped from last year Aug15. Shanghai index has recovered from low 2500 to 3200+.
Nothing happen. Everything seem clam in China & Shanghai index back to 3200+.This show that it is the vulture hedge fund & the western
financial media are controlling investors through media . So please dont be a TRADERS. Just be patience in your investment.

Stock - Accumulator on Apple stock. Min US$500k (no gearing)

Private equity fund with institutional investors like pension fund invested in it
================================================
Carlye Euro private equity fund launched in Dec 2006 during the bull run.
Amount Euro $250k + extra capital call if required (not informed by the banker at that time)
Holding period = 10 years + 1 + 1 +1 (extension if needed). Also not informed by the banker at that time
Prospectus - 5cm thick & small wording. Did not read. Just signed.
It is a progressive capital call from this E$250k within the period of 10 yrs.
Invest into potential startup companies mainly in Europe to grow & enhance the value of companies. Final stage is to sell at a proft
or go for IPO to make money. It can also lose money if the investment turn bad.
B4 I invest in this 1st time private equity fund. I was concerned about the liquidity issues. I did ask whether I can sell like a unit trust
wthin 3-5 yrs if need arise. The banker said NO problem. But it was not . During the Mid 2009 crisis, I was unable to sell even though
the NAV was est 100k. The bank offer to buy back at DISTRESS price. Almost zero. So I bite the bullet & continue with this fund (only est 100k
invested) even though there is remaining E$150k capital to be CALLED.
The banker was forced to resigned later in Dec 2009 due to his unprofessional advise on super high risk ACCUMULATORs product to many of his clients.
On the 5th year, I think the capital call is around <$110k. On the 5th yr (2012) , the fund started to have a distribution payout from my investment of est E$110k (still got remaining E1$140k to be CALLED) . From 5th yr (2012) onward up to the 10th year (2017) , the remianing capital call is taken from the capital distribution payout make from the profitable investment by this fund.
So far since 2012 to 2017. the distbution payout from the profitable investment made is E$350k. Nav of the fund is E$92k. Current accumulated capital call since Dec 2006 till 2017 is E$247k. The remaining capital call bal amt is E$3k. It was extended by another 3 yrs. Hopefully, there will be another E$120k to E$200k capital payout from the next 3 yrs.
Final conclusion. Good private equity fund with institutional investors like Pension fund can consider investing if you have a patience to hold very long term.If not, just dont go for it.
============================================================================================
The bank recently launch another private equity fund mainly invest into US. Also launch during the bull run 2017. But did not go for it .
Standard Chartered to Close Private-Equity Unit & Dismisses Private Equity Head. So not every private equity fund will make money.
UOB did launch a private equity fund in 2002. I think they name it IPO fund which mainly invest into new potential start up companies
in Asia. Min S$200k. I believe it is making money.
Is wing tai worth buying? Current price S$1.78.

OUT WITH THE SHIT TRASH
https://www.facebook.com/shutdowntrs
Over the last 20+ years of investment. I find that the ability to control & manage ones emotional trading behaviour (grreed , fearful , hopeful etc ) is the most crucial for a successful investors. Sadly, there is no short cut toward better manage your emotional trading behaviour. It is a long process where you need to pay expensive lesson to learn from it. Most of them may not learn through out their whole investing experience. Mistakes keep repeating itself as human have a very short memories.
Many investors get investment "info" from such as mainstream media, financial news, friends, family ,colleague etc. Many investors get enticed by the market during periods of market calm (low volatility) and prolonged bull markets.
Bull markets are periods when the market tends to go up indiscriminately. During such times of market exuberance, investors tend to listen to stories from friends or family members about how much money they are making in the market, creating a stir and compelling those not invested to test the waters.
I got a friend who is a boss of a SME. They supply small machines parts to Jap & US mnc. They Japanese praise him & told him he can be compared to Japanese top engineers who has the abilities to build a small complex machining parts. But when comes to investing into stock market, he lost 1 million+ . He got all the 99% of the retail common mistakes. GREEDY , FEARFUL , HOPEFUL etc etc. He has since stop investing. Just concentrate on building & growing his company.
After the Lehman crisis in 2008/09, I find that the traditional investment strategy does not work well. More & more wallstreet bankers, big US sepculators , manipulators etc are using the new technologies to rig & manipulate the market. The biggest manipulators are now the central banker , the US FED and European central bank. Just look at one of the most outstanding investors like Soros, Marc Faber , Jim Rogger etc. All the prediction are not right. George Soros lost nearly $1 billion after the stock market surged following Donald Trump's unexpected Nov. 8 election victory.
Some of my friends ask me despite the sign of US FED going to rasie the interest rate. Why our SG fixed D keeping going down? From last year 1.6% to 1.8%. Now <1% for most of the local bank. I really dont know. Depsite the crisis in the "PIGS countries' high debts, the European stock mkt (Euro $ breaking new low) keep breaking new high just like US mkt. Depsite the brexit, the FSTE 100 (london) keep breaking new high. The pound keeps breaking new low.
So I dont follow all the analysts , my bankers & bank research recommendation. I only follow my " FEAR guage". Am I very fearful that I am thinking of selling (which is the time to buy) ? Or most of friends are very pessimistic ? That is they tend to see the worst aspect of things or believe that the worst will happen.
When my friends ask me whether this or that stock can buy or not. My reply to my friends is that I DONT KNOW. But I am 200% very sure that when there is extreme fearful in the mkt. It is time to buy blue chip (not penny stocks). Never allow yourself to go into concentrate risk. Single country risk , single sector risk (oil & gas or ppty etc) etc.
Another 200% very sure investment is our CPF AAAAA rated " bond ". Defintely Can sleep very well at nite. I told them not to use CPF OA to pay for the housing loan if they have excess liquid cash. The best is that to transfer their CPF OA to CPF SA (161k ) to the full retirement sum (now is 166k) as young or early as possible.
I remember very clearly in Dec 2015 when US mainstream media, financial news & the speculators were talking the end of Russia. They are going to be bankrupt. I keep thinking whether I should be Russia equity fund now. I am hesiating to buy US$50k or US$100k for a few days. I finally just bite the bullet & buy US$50k & a bit regret the moment I bought (which is a good sign I thought ). I later sell ONLY at 10% profit after only for a few mths. If I sell now, easily >40% profit. I also bought Russia VTB bank due 2017 (Aus$). Too bad, I sold too early.
My recent ones is the European bank 10.5% bank (AAA rating) but denominate in brazilain real (currency risk) . FYI, brazilian real currency (1 EURO = 3.3) weaken from 2.5 ( 2012) to 4+ (2015) . I keep hesitating for 2 mths. Finally bought 99.95 @ Xrate of 3.53. A few mths later sold @100 at Xrate of 3.4 (now Xrate 3.3). Take profit too early.
Some so call guru or analyst recommend Keppel corp @ 11 , semcorp $5 etc base on book value, good management team etc. I just dont follow. I only follow my own "FEAR guage". am I extreme fearful ?. Keep investing simple. Trading is a waste of time. My older friend after trading for 30 yrs only manage or maybe breakeven only now. He is lucky that he bet big just on LVS @US$2+ in 2009. That how he is able to breakeven .
My niece who is a new investor asked me early 2016 whether can buy kep corp @4.9. I told him can buy just base on FEAR guage (I dont think he is fully understand. He bought @4.9. Just a few days ago, he asked me whether can sell @7.20. I said yes base on 50% profit (+ dividend) within 1 yr. . I did ask him to look into Global reit which just recently [email protected]. He really bought it @1.27. I told him keep this reit like a "HDB flat " renting own. Dont bother to see the price movement. But like a new investors emotional behaivour (greed) He base on his friend recommendation to buy Gold mining stock CNMC @0.51. This stock is from 0.16 in 2015 & break new high 0.60 in 2016. My remiser (maybe some of this company securites remisers ) told me he bet almost of all his saving on CNMC. This company security recently has a tgt price for CNMC @ $1.00. I can U see their strategy (ill intention ?). I told him a strong sell to him. He sold at a loss @0.42 & tell him never never buy penny stock in his entire investing life time. He will never make it in long run.

A very emotional investor will be more fearful buying individual stock during the " extreme fearful" time.
So it will be better off buying unit trust (diversify risk) rather than buying individual stock (concentration risk).

During the equity bull run, the experience investor may just switch from equity (high risk) fund to income fund (low risk) .Switching to same fund name is usually free . Then patiently wait for the "EXTREME fear" time (stock big correction) & switch back from income fund to equity fund.
But switching timing is usually not perfect.
[QUOTE=cbsh38584;509043]
In 2015, my friend called me that CMIB banker recommended Noble 3.65% bond (Due Mar18). The bond price has dropped from 100 to
around 80+. Base on the big insituition holding. There is a chance that it should be OK but be prepared to have many sleepless nite.
Mths later, it drop to <60. Today, the price is around 98. Noble has just recently managed to issue new bond @8.75% (Due Mar22).
Price is 98. But will not buy as I have quite a few "COWBOY" bond or junk bond.
2020 redemption price @ 104.3750%
2021 redemption price @ 102.1875%
But those holding speculative Noble stock since 2013 that was when Noble issued the 3.65% bond. They are losing alot of money . The noble share price dropped from $1.4 to 0.2 (not yet include right issue). At least >80% paper loss.
I applied Kopitiam @0.25 (Kimly) using two acct each 501,000 shares. Cant believe get zero allocation.
I told my friend to apply for this hot IPO. He applied using 4 acct (wife ,father, mother & himself) each 101,000. 3 acct get zero allocation. Luckily 1 acct manage to get $6000 ($1250).
Today Kopitiam share opening price @ 0.55. Cant believe the opening price is 0.55. 100% return.
