You shouldn't buy any reits with high gearing if you anticipate more than 1 rate hike or hike more than 0.25 %.
The sentiment itself is enough to kill the share price.

Good point on high gearing REIT can slump on rate hikes.

for sure if u are interest rate sensitive u should avoid not only reits but all stocks with high gearing.

even a stable biz with stable cashflow like starhub will be impacted heavily cause of their debt model.

I see her, my c0ck stand even harder

for all the different ways we can have looking at the market, for once we all agree on a beauty when we see one.

 

[OngHuatHuat]

Doubt so.
If they want to do that, last quarter already hike once.
Rate hike a lot of complications and they have to give time for companies to adjust. Not as simple as what you thought.

Normally what traders do is sell before rate hike and buy back if the rate hike is within expectation.

will be worried if the the REIT is gearing with foreign currencies.

Anyway, i'm just raising the possibility of FED hiking fast and low instead of a big 1. Is that possible?

 

[tomorogood]

Besides KC u holding any other blue chips to diversify out or not?

No. Only kc now.

 

[MasterLeong]

No. Only kc now.

like that your portfolio too focused and high risk

maybe u should build a base with sti etf or blue chips like reits/telco/banks first before dabbling into cyclical stocks like KC

 

[lewissac]

MCT 1.42!!!!
Boat is back!!!

Tempted to increase it from 1400 shares to 2000.
Currently MCT 1400, CCT 600, CMT 100.


Or should resist temptation and aim for telco.

 

[yihao93]

I think investing very simple
Only thing is discipline or not and whether can delay gratification bah...

 

[Carnesir]

No. Only kc now.

i was like u. kepcorp was my first stock.

then throughout the years accumulated more steady stocks like reits telcos and even sph last time.

heck i think bank is also quite cyclical but in boom times banks are like a ulti booster pack for your portfolio.

its ok to hold now, but i agree with masterleong u need more diversification to steady the ship

your current portfolio only have reits????

like that maybe can consider telcos to diversify

all reits a bit risky

 

[MasterLeong]

Just checking:

overall % of portfolio is Reit?

mine is 13.3%. Just checking to see if I am over optimistic. Thinking of shifting to ~20%.

I am like 50% reits the rest banks and telcos hahahaha

being reits is like being a landlord

some people $0 in stocks but own 1 condo... is 100% in property

so risky or not, must see individual

No wonder after collecting the 22c div, stuck for so many mths below water like submarine

KC is more of a trading stock, its not good for holding long term

u can look at its 10 years earnings/dividends record

always filled with many ups and downs, along with its stock price


however its a good stock for trading, if u catch the right moment within 6 months can make 20% returns that sort of trade





your portfolio base should fill it up with stable solid companies that can maintain earnings/dividends... give u good recurring income

just like how u buy a property and keep collecting rentals

you put in a lum sum and try to collect like 5-6% yearly income



you must understand the difference between these 2 paths



if 100% of your portfolio is in KC means you are PURE TRADER liao hahahahahha

Yeah.. Only have reits at the moment. I want to get telco (or banks if there's sudden drop lol).

 

[tomorogood]

OK, will top up 4k in reits going into 2017 strategy.

POWER OF CD!!!

Yeah banks already ran up
Maybe can consider dca sti etf
Then balance reits+telco combo for dividends

Economy is still very weak
I prefer to lean towards dividend counters rather than growth stocks

Your KC best is to set a TP and stick to it
Once hit just take profits and let go

Without TP is like headless chicken liao


You never know when its highest and you never know when it may drop back down

 

[MasterLeong]

Example of headless chicken
$5.50 ahh i think i wait for $6
$6.00 ahh think will wait for $7
$7.00 wow can so high ah i will wait for $8
Stock falls back to $5.50 ahhh why i never sell at $7, regrets

Failure of having a TP means u will never take profits
No one can 100% get the highest
