I dun use local brokers for US stocks simply of the higher broker comms, custodian fees, monthly platform fees, dividends distribution fees etc etc.

no referral link, but I am using tdameritrade. no monthly fees
flat comms US$5 regardless of 1 or 100 shares

I dun understand wht u mean by because of company policy. can explain a bit more?

Morningstar and yahoo finance give free info such as distribution and holdings.
eg http://etfs.morningstar.com/distribution?t=SPY&region=usa&culture=en_US

Means the company I am working for don't allow stock trading. ETFs is ok though.

So i can only trade ETFs.

I see you are trading NOBL?

I’ll insert a periodic reminder here that dividend-oriented U.S. stock investing arguably makes some sense for U.S. persons, or at least it’s neutral. We U.S. persons pay the same tax rate on qualified dividends as on long-term capital gains.

For residents of Singapore who are not U.S. persons, no, that’s not true. You take a 30% tax hit on every dollar of dividends, but you pay zero tax on capital gains. It much, much better for you to have capital appreciation in your U.S. stocks.

Be very careful to draw inspiration from financial markets and global investing but then adapt that inspiration to your context, which could be different. Here it’s very different.

u my fren is jsm!
must be some BB insider

basically for overseas, nowdays I hardly have enuff time to study individual stocks. even if I have time, I may not be right there to place a trade when the price tank 30% in one session.
so various ETFs and mutual funds are the way to go for me right now.

Yeah, I will prefer ETFs as it doesn't need much monitoring. I am a mid term investor so intend to pump in and wait it out, or until a better ETF comes along.

Can you share your current recommendations so I can consider.

Thanks alot!

My 7 years of JNJ finally yielding $3.80 on cost of $62 or 4.3%(after 30% tax).
Definitely losing to reits by yield alone.

According to
https://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/jnj/dividend-history

it was
0.66 per quarter in 2013 ($1.848 or just 2.98%)
0.7 per quarter in 2014
0.75 per quarter in 2015
0.8 per quarter in 2016
0.84 per quarter in 2017
0.9 per quarter in 2018
0.95 per quarter in 2019 ($2.66 or 4.3%)

Will probably took another 7-8 years for it to double my initial yield.
Of course, in that 7-8 years, JNJ has risen from $62(2012) to $141(2019).
That is about 2.27x my cost price.

In total, it has risen
$15.68(dividends collected)+$141(share price)= $156.68

https://www.investopedia.com/calculator/cagr.aspx
Over the course of 7 periods your investment grew from $62.00 to $156.68, its compound annual growth rate, or its overall return, is 14.16%.
Not exactly great but it's good enough for me to hold this.

 

[Perisher]

Maybe someone can do a CAGR of the various stocks within the CCC list universe.
I will try to do one with all my current CCC list+some misc holdings when free.

No preference but more of in the growth and dividend space. Where can I find the info that tells me they auto reinvest the dividends?

I am looking at etfs that needs little maintenance, even dividends get pumped back. 5-10 years horizon.
