No, oil is good for shipping! All your princess and star cruise ships, rich man yachts, motorboats, they consume oil! Unless you're talking about tankers I guess?

Sent from Sony D5833 using GAGT

oil price increase means higher costs for shipping coys? how is that good?

OCBC fell the strongest among the 3 banks from recent rally. Better be more patient and see if it falls more.

I realize the stocks mentioned in the old thread are not so defensive.

Like m1, Ocbc, sci, ara, cct.....

Perhaps it is time to really look beyond yield.

That's the spirit! Be greedy when others are fearful!

I just saw those names appearing in the old thread then I just put them on watch list.

There are quite a number of forumers who invested in these stocks as well. I think perhaps all adopt the same strategy.

My friend once told me, buying down trend stock is quite risky actually, coz most of the time, it is bb selling then retail snap up and bb financial muscle >> retailers.

I think it depends on the situation, but what he said is true to a certain extent.

Must see your investing strategy
If short term trading, confirm gg max
But if u buying for dividends and building passive income
You want the stocks u aim to be as cheap as possible, u will be happy that market has sold it down greatly, in some cases 30%+ drop
As such the dividend yield has gone up a lot and you now get more bang for your buck

However that said, cannot buy blindly. Still have to see fundemental analysis to make sure that those so called bargains are able to maintain earnings and dividends

I buy after a huge or consecutive fall, there is some green shoot.

My dividend stocks in hk also not doing so well, people seems to price in the dividend already. Seems like need to wait till next year dividend period which is middle of the year to recover paper loss.

Luckily my hk holdings are more or less for very long term holdings, bought them mainly for the passive income in hkd.
