@iSpyderTrader  Building Good Trading Habits
DO NOT try to copy someone else's idea as that works for them. You need to get insight about it and try it on your own. Practice makes perfect. Do your due diligence (research, articles, news, etc.) Trade with a positive attitude. Don't be greedy and take profits.

Trading have to link with lifestyle and set up a rule of it. More importantly is following it as a habit. I start from small amounts to test that if my thoughts/rule works for me and make some adjustments. I only allow myself to use 3 quarters, leave a last option for myself and I won't fear while look at the red numbers.
@mooboo  Habits that made me a better trader
For my value investing, I do a certain amount of due diligence before starting a position in any stock. I fight the urge every time I panic. Emotions are your biggest enemy in the stock market. Lastly, manage your risk well.
@TraderPeter  Be mechanical!
The risk and the size are highly correlated. Ask Why first. Knowing the why helps me to make quick decision without second guess myself. Only trade something that is liquid enough. Take profit early and often and let time cure the pain.
@bullrider21Nothing is foolproof
Always do your homework before you buy a stock. Don't speculate. Don't buy on rumours. Find out the support and resistance levels to determine your buying and selling prices. You must be disciplined. Don't be too greedy.

Emotions and responsibilities could cloud your thinking. Deduction and objectivity could lead you to impulsive and irrational decision-making, resulting in more losses. It is not valid to trade based on feelings or rumors. Analysis and research should be trading fundamentals.

$Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$ $Cloudflare (NET.US)$ So I asked this question a few months ago and I got some very interesting responses, a lot of AMD, Cloudfare, and things of that nature. All in all people's picks performed very well much to my surprise and I would like to see what everyone likes for the next 10 years, particularly, stocks that have the most upside potential due to an industry being revolutionized or a company you believe is severely undervalued.

As investors, we have a variety of investment choices.Dividend stocks are usually well-established companies with a good history of distributing earnings back to shareholders.Dividend investing is a popularway toinvestin Singapore.
What is dividend investing?
Dividend investing is the practice of purchasing dividend-paying stocks to receive a consistent income stream from your investment. A dividend is theproportion of the profita company pays when itearns a profit or surplus.A vast majority of Singapore companies pay dividends to issue the payout quarterly. For instance, REIT is a well-known type of company that pays out dividends.
What are REITs?
REITs(real estate investment trusts)are among the most popular choices for investors who aim at a steady income stream. A REIT is a business that owns, operates, or funds income-producing real estate, which can provide investment opportunities to invest in a pool of professionally managed real estate assets and is listed and traded on a stock exchange.
Singapore is a large real estate investment trust center in Asia.So far, there are currently 43 real estate investment trusts and real estate business trusts listed on the Singapore Exchange, with a total market value exceeding $110 billion, accounting for approximately 12% of the total in Singapore. The following figures show that REITs are booming in Singapore from different dimensions.
Looking from the historical pattern, the returns of REITs are growing steadily, with a growth rate tripled from 2011 to 2021, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Three Year Average Annualized Total Return of 13.4%
Figure 2 shows that the average return of S-REITS & Property Trusts was 5.9%in 2021, which is higher than other assets classes.

How to evaluate dividend stocks?
As mentioned before, dividend stocksare usually well-established companies with a good earning history. The following three parameters could help you differentiate between stocks.
Dividend yield
Dividend yieldis the dividenda company pays out annually and is related to the stock price.Real estate investment trusts (REITs) usually pay higher than average dividends.Thehigherthedividend yield is, thebetter.In addition, the dividend's growth should be in line with the company's long-term earnings.
Payout ratio
Payout ratio refers to the dividends paid out as a percentage of a company's total earnings.A high payout ratio, notably exceeding 100%, could lead to questions regarding the long-term sustainability of a stock. In contrast, a low payout ratio could indicate that a company is reinvesting most of its earnings to expand its businesses. In other words, investors should treat the payout ratio critically, whether it's high or low.
Dividend history
The corporations with the best long-term dividend payment records typically have had consistent payout ratios for many years. Is the company's dividend distribution continually increasing? And how long has the corporation paid a dividend to its stockholders?
How to conduct dividend investing？
（1）Aim for a high dividend yield
Investors with a short-term horizon can focus on slow-growing, established companies with a large cash flow that could pay substantial dividends.
（2） Choose high dividend growth
Long-term investors should concentrate on buying stocks of firms that are proliferating but pay lower-than-average dividends. The returns might look small shortly, but the dividend yield should steadily increase as a company expands.
To evaluate the potential of a specific stock, investors can look at its past performance from reports that contain various charts. The following bar chart of WLMIY (Wilmar International Limited) forecasts dividend growth based on itshistory. Assuming that the annual dividend growth rate of $Wilmar Intl (F34.SG)$ is 15.73%, Wilmar's dividends double every 4.7 years.
Several notes on dividend investing
Dividends of any company are not fixed and can be adjusted at any time.
Mature and large companies usually provide dividends with modest growth rates.
Suppose investors focus on companies with substantial dividends only. In that case, they may miss out on fast-growing companies that have not started paying dividends or are paying a small amount of dividends.
