Whats your expected or target return for 2015?

[felixleong]

2014 was lousy year for me as I made only 5% returns, slightly under performing the STI's 6% returns (the main drag was challenger's disappointing results due to the closure of 3 stores in malaysia)

so for 2015 unless bear bear come,
I hope this year can hit 10-15% like that

currently I'm 90% in equities and 10% in fixed deposits

how about you guys?

cheers

I'm just going to start out, planning to try and achieve at least 5% returns this year.

Will be using this whole year to try and find my own strategy in investment as I have been trying out paper trade and could reset any time therefore don't find that it is helping me.

Hopefully i'm able to train myself to achieve emotional stability in investment.

Hope to hit above 10%. But note that I do not invest in SG shares, I'm more on US shares hence the volatility. However, US shares are increasingly overvalued, so a bit dangerous.

So far my forex hit 38% return. But I don't think it's safe because it feels like it's something that can be wiped out with a wrong click of a button. I am still figuring out how to mitigate risk.

Fingers crossed for this year, my year of the rat fortune fengshui for this year not very good haha. But who cares. Stick to the game plan all those fengshui bs can't stop you

All the best guys!

Hope to maintain 10% if not hit 15

As I am new to trading, I hope to gain 4.5% dividend for this year. Well might be a little since I go for low risk stock aka blue chips

don't worry you are not the only one, I also go for low risk blue chip stocks ^^ , sometimes slow and steady can be the way to go if it suits you~

I currently have
ST Engineering (pe 18, yield 4%)
Starhub (pe 20, yield 5%)
Semb Corp Industries (pe 10, yield 4%)

overall my yield from blue chips only slightly above 4% nia, low but still decent enough for me~

I was considering going into reits for higher yield but I worry about the raising interest rates, so overall blue chips more my cup of tea

care to share which blue chips are u currently holding?

I wanted to start a thread but lazy. I don't want to limit myself to percentage terms but i aim to profit 50k this year. Good for a holiday and also help to earn my 奶粉钱.

My trading style: Monitoring market depths to catch support/resistance trends. FA to support buy/sell.

Aim: To be profitable for all trades regardless of amount of profit. Cut loss range - 3 to 7%.

5th Jan 2015
Bought:

Sold:
Keppel Corp

A few trades done for Dec 2014 and start of 2015.

Tritech - noticed good volume and price action. Entered at 0.136 and my target was only 0.146 hence sold at 0.147.. didn't know so fast 0.172 today.

Current open positions:
Ezion - 60lots @ 1.145
Looking at oil price, i think it might give way below $1.120 so i'm looking to sell this at breakeven or more however some funds are collecting at this price so it might ding dong here. If oil prices can recover to above US60, personally look at $1.25 minimum.

Isdn - 200lots @ 0.265
good price action and volume today which might determine its uptrend soon. Below NAV of SGD0.33 which might eventually find its way up. Positive that company and boss has been doing share buybacks.

Low Keng Huat - 30lots @ 0.670
Buy to hold for div and price appreciation. Low liquidity though

Sheng Shiong - 30lots @ 0.660
Buy to hold for CNY however profit taking occurs at around 0.7 so i might divest at 0.705 or 0.710

**Previous Closed Trades**
5 Jan 2015 - Keppel Corp 5lots - Gross profit $4140
2 Jan 2015 - Tritech 150lots - Gross profit $1650
22 Dec 2014 - Sembcorp 6lots Gross profit $2082
18 Dec 2014 - ST Engineering 8lots - Gross profit $320

HUAT HUAT 2015!

I think your goals are very sound and realistic, nice~
US last year gained close to 12% and over the last 5 years the S&P gained around 80%

so looking forward to 10% or higher seems reasonable and possible
unless of course, touch wood~ bear bear come

[Perisher]

Gotta say, felixleong and wahkao both post quite frequently these days, but one is sharing lots of useful information while the other is just going nowhere.
=P

My 2014 returns is 15%.

Most gains came from Singpost's unexpected rise. As much as wahkao post nonsense, he does drop a gem sometimes. Wahkao got me alerted to INNOVALUES in July which has garnered 125% rise from my buying price of 0.21. That's why some people says wahkao is hidden dragon. I thank wahkao too.

In the US, My biggest gains are all the blue chips, V, Dis, BRK.B, JNJ, MO. And likewise, seeking alpha got me alerted to MAIN, which has been paying huge dividends every single month, including special dividends twice a year.

I have my losses, if anybody is interested that is.

This year, I just hope to achieve my Target of 8% gain. 3-4% are already from the dividends so it should not be that hard unless...

2014 was lousy year for me as I made only 5% returns, slightly under performing the STI's 6% returns (the main drag was challenger's disappointing results due to the closure of 3 stores in malaysia)

so for 2015 unless bear bear come,
I hope this year can hit 10-15% like that

currently I'm 90% in equities and 10% in fixed deposits

how about you guys?
