I don't understand your sentence (in red) can explain? if it "swibered" how can portfolio still survive?

btw, I am doing single stock invest.

being swibered means bankrupt and drop to zero, lose 100% on that position

if have 10 stocks at 10% of portfolio each, u kanna 1 swiber

u lose 10% and still have 90%

I fear for the future of Singapore should your portfolio ever be swibered.

Sometimes for new investors, not enough capital to diversify
Say $30,000 hoot 3 stocks at 10k each
If one of them is swiber then 33% of portfolio wiped off
Thats why for those new investors i will always advise to use sti etf as your base first

Sti etf cannot die one, 30 blue chips inside!!!

When portfolio hit bigger scale like 50k or 100k then hold 10 stocks of 5k each or 10 stocks of 10k each is fine

I would say 10 is the min number of stocks to call a portfolio diversify

In portfolio theory need 30 stocks or more to avoid non systematic risk
However for me i prefer a focused approach to beat the market so for my 300k portfolio i still focus on 10 stocks

Even if my portfolio 100k or 500k or 5 mil, i still go for 10 stocks only
If 1 ship down 9 ships will still win me the war

Ya.......just like Warren Buffett said

'To finish first, you must first finish'

Lots of people build their portfolios like Ferraris & Lamborghinis......

But my all-terrain 4-wheel-drive vehicle is going to finish the race bcos the road ahead is full of bumps and potholes......

Neologism in SSI: swiber (verb)

Meaning: value of something being wiped out, usually in reference to equities portfolio.

Usage: to swiber. being swibered. My portfolio got swibered when the STI tanked!

ya... i guess what u say is right... cause this time I got a very very bad feeling for FCL dunno why... everything feels so different from the ARA and GLP

ARA was ppl slowly see, read up on the fundementals... disucessed on the pro and cons... met a few SSI ppl in AGM
then the SSI warriors slowly boarded at around 1.20... when 1.30 most sold and took profit.. quite ok and healthy trend

GLP one... think not much attention as that period market was rallying and there were many other stocks that gained wildly.. like reits CMT rallied from $2.00 to $2.20 in the same period... so more of blind lucky maybe

FCL... is like all become vampire.... smell the blood already then all rush to buy... like past 2 weeks over 20+ on sgxcafe rush to buy FCL, when FCL the stock price also not much movement... its kinda ranged bound for 1 month at 1.51 to 1.53... dunno why they rushing to buy, makes me feel like they never really spend time to study the fundamentals and check the facts

the mentally feels like BOARD first, CHECK later LOL LOL LOL

Hope fcl is right and dont sink lol

 

[Average]

as of now, it should not sink. Sudden events in future could be unpredictable and is not our fault for not being able to predict those events.

 

[starfish.starfish]

Hope fcl is right and dont sink lol

Why more ppl board will cause boat to sink, don't understand your analogy. No one buy the stock how to push price higher? Lol
