Fated82: juz to let you know when you see posting in forums of ppl buying 50 lots 100 lots you will wonder like I do initially who got so much monies assuming a working salary paid employee correct? Well the reason is simple they play contra and shorting so they only get to pay or earn the difference. Some is borrow monies from banks, financial instituitions etc to buy stocks that pay dividends. The dividends paid will cover the interest from the borrowed monies. Then in the meantime they can slowly sell those lots to other ppl. Since they buy in bulk they earn the differnce multiplier effect. So in order to earn BIG, those tactics requires quantity of lots to be huge to see the profits. If you are a retail investor for long term, don't be scared by the number of lots they trade with. This is how SGX works. A playground of sharks and small little fishes all wanting a bite of the action :) |

If I only have $5K that I cannot afford to lose, then I would put into fixed deposits. |

$5k isn't very much. If you diversify, you'll not make very much. For $5K, I suggest you do long term investment. Dont' use TA. |

Ok my unorthodox way of stock picking. This is entirely my style. First I classify the stocks based on their current share price into < 10 cents, 10 <= x < 20 cents, 20 <= x < 30 cents etc etc Second, within each category I filter out those that give consistent dividends yearly to date at least Third, based on second step outcome I flip through their financials and read any news and look at the business model and nature. Fourth, I check if the share price has risen up very high already by comparing the NAV and EPS and ROE%, Margin% etc etc or there is still room to go up some more. Fifth, I use the mouse click to submit my buy trade online Simple or izit? 5 steps for me :) |

Hi all, Wanna get some opinons. I am planning to invest a small portion of my savings. (aprox $5k). How do you think I should do it? Should I put all the eggs into a basket or should I diversify. I have identify the stocks I want to invest in and will be putting my money as a long term basis (3 -5 yrs). Maybe you can give me an idea of how you guys started out? Thanks! |
