during crisis in 08 , it was approx a 50% drop , so if we assume its happening now, and there is already a 20%( or was it 30%) drop, we have about 20-30% more to go, perhaps more feasible to take 15~20% as signal to avg down

As the previous guy mentioned, u wait for 20% u can only do it every 10 years, especially with sgx.

Tighten that margin and u get caught between relief rallies aka dead cat bounces

True that it may be caught between dead cat bounces so need to think of the margin. But does this method minimizes the risk of averaging down until no more bullet left? or even the risk of doubling down on a stock that will not recover back again?

Actually the reference point of averaging down when the price is going down or up is the same price point. Just that the momentum is different.

Im still learning, thanks.

I am also anticipating this level, if dead cat let it be, conserve the war crest for another day. Missed the 2008 bear, wont let his polar bear runs again. I it is a cat then I dont bother. Put in FD and earn my 2%..

 

[Tofuuuuuuck]

for normal blue chips should consider averaging down every 10% ba
since 30% declines itself are very rare, like once a decade?
50% declines are super rare, once a century?

I see bro, thanks for sharing.
Yes probably 10-15% is ideal.

cash is ready... waiting for east wind

I rec'd all the SGX newsletter but never read, only keep in my inbox to see see look look after one year - to see whether they are right or wrong

Unless all these so called experts are personally vested in the stocks they push, and can prove it, they should just keep their opinions to themselves. More often than not, they are proven to be wrong.

Malaysia The Star newspaper have this column where CEO and business people recommend one stock at the beginning of the year and the paper will review them at the end of the year. Their company and their name is published big big - now this is fun. Their credibility and reputation at stake for all to see.

Keppel Corporation dividend yield 8.3%

i worry that dividends may be reduced for FY15 and FY16

i'm betting that it will reduce...suspect will implement DRP option and dividend cut to 2 to 3%...at least until the oil price climbs back to $50 levels...

koyo intl

took SGX 1 year to notice...

From $0.03 roll till $0.40

 

[blankk]

dont anyhow shoot without facts

if u look at quarterly reports, can see the expenses on employee

KC usually payout dividends of half its earnings

so if earnings comes down, dividends will come down too

in fact many employee will be getting lower year end bonuses, this industry also facing retrenchment and lots of cost cutting

so if u dunno anything, dun anyhow say

just continue to shout your STI 1000

You so emo for what, no bullet liao don't talk so loud

Keekeekee

 

[blankk]

so u have a lot of bullet?
are u long or short now?

Shorting to hoard up cash in biscuit tins.. Good time to bulk up watchest. When finally crash, unload to go long.

how u all think of this kid?
21 year old, parents give him 100k+ to study overseas but instead he drop from school and use the 100k+ to invest and dont want to work
live off this investment returns

how u all think? if your kid like that u can accept mah?

Not the worst, some kids will spend the money on booze and babes. At least, he thinks about investment...

I am just curious about his parents though. Since he never complete his studies, shouldn't his parents take back the remaining money? Secondly, I doubt his parents give him one lump sum $100k...

His story abit weird...
