Current Situation

Post by kosh »

Hi Dennis,

I have been watching STI this few days very closely. Rather worried about the down trend. You mentioned that when STI drop to 2800 & below, we should sell most of our shares.

My querry is : is there any risk to hold on & not selling & wait for uptrend?

Crisis is an opportunity, does that means we can go in & start buying?

Hi Kosh,

You might want to check out this thread:

What we should do is influenced by our own financial situation, but in that thread, Dennis states very clearly why this crash is still an opportunity for us.

Hi kosh,

You can get free charts of all the market indices from stockcharts.com.

These are links provided by yhendra in another thread (I believe it's in the Technical Analysis forum)

Dow: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$INDU& ... 0729441589

STI: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$INDU& ... 0729441589

You can play around with the options a bit at the bottom of the page.

Hope that helps.

我卖出我持有的股票的一半左右,目前我的现金持有量已增加至49%,持股量下降到16%左右,我的投资组合的其余部分保持不变。

我7%的财富投资于具有资金保证的英国储蓄保单,其余的28%投资于实物资产,其中包括7%的银,金的2%,7%的土地和12%投资于公寓物业。我认为我的整体投资组合是“稳如泰山”,因为无论发生什么事情,无论是通胀,滞胀,衰退或萧条,我的投资组合都能安然无恙。

是你的整体投资组合是否也是“稳如泰山”?

我不是给任何人投资建议,也不是给你股票投资的意见。我只是与您分享我所做的。

请记住,我问自己的第1个问题是:“如果我错了,我的财务状况会安然无恙吗?
在我看来,如果我错了,那么我可能会错过机会以更高的价格出售这些股票......,我可能会错过进一步上扬,但我将财政确定。

但如果这原来是由升转降,整体市场的趋势开始扭转,那么如果市场从这里有进一步下跌,将来,我将会在更低的价格水平卖出股票。

请不要盲目地跟随我做什么,请你自己做最终的投资决策并且对你的决定的收益/损失负责。


I sold about half of my total stock holdings, currently my Cash holdings have been increased to 49%, stock holdings down to about 16%, the remainder of my Investment Portfolio remains unchanged.

ie. 7% in UK Traded Endowment with Capital Guarantee and remaining 28% in Real Assets, including 7% in silver, 2% in Gold, 7% in Land and 12% in an investment property. I consider my overall Investment Portfolio ALL Weather proof, becos no matter what happens, whether it is inflation, stagflation, recession or depression, I'll be financially ok.

Is your overall Investment Portfolio ALL Weather Proof as well?

I'm NOT giving anyone investment advice nor stock investing advice. I'm merely sharing with you what I did.

Remember that the No. 1 question I ask myself is:"what if I'm wrong, will I be financially ok?"

In my opinion, if I'm wrong, then I might miss out opportunity to sell those stocks I sold at a higher price...I might miss out on further gains, but I'll be financially ok.

But if this turns out to be the beginning of reverse of overall Market Trend from Up to Down, then market would have further downside from here, and I would be selling stocks at lower price level.

Please do NOT blindly follow what I do, please make your own final investment decision be responsible for any possible gains/losses from your decisions.

Regards.
