Hi all Mooers, I supposed previously I did share about my strategy in doing investment; long term planning is critical to eventually gain profit in these uncertain times. If one just pursues quick luck and fast capital gains, then the tendency to lose money in the long run is greater. One may gain from one stock and lose heavily in others. Thus, I will only invest with the plan to get dividends over capital gains. If the particular stock really outperform incredibly then would I consider to sell for an immediate hefty profit. As such Reits, ETFs and Bank stocks are my primary targets. Here are some personal sharing and key pointers:
1. To identify a good stock. There is no shortcuts prior to doing an investment, meaning to say there is a need to perform your due diligence by reading the financial/Business reports, news to attain knowledge and information of the various companies that we would be keen to invest in. It is also advisable to study their business trends and growth. This would allow us to better understand the health of the company, cash flow status and to catch hold of any business challenges that the company might faced. Only with prudence will we be assured that our hard-earned money put into investment stands a higher chance to be successful. If in doubt, do not invest. Because for long term investment we are counting on the eventual growth of the company to bring the shares up and not through daily spike for gains.
2. Holdimg Power is Everything. Having the Long term investment mindset also takes away the stress and frustration during a recession. Holding power is everything, so only use spare money to buy shares, if not you would be complied to sell it at a "bad" price. As part of my plan, I will never sell a stock that is in RED. It would be good to buy more shares during the dip and increase your portfolio for larger dividend returns. There will come that it will rise passed the buying point where you can consider to sell for capital gains after your experience of the stocks' performance over time.
3. Patience. Never be too eager to put your money in. Can spend several weeks or months to study the perfomance trend of the company before committing. This will also help you identify the best entry point. True that one may miss the boat to buy a rising stock due to hesitation but at least your money is still in your hands. Many a times, we would hope that we didnt get into a deficit and hope for a restart where you can do it all over on paper trading but not with you own money.
Some of the stocks that I have identified that I am investing in are:
$Nikko AM STI ETF (G3B.SG)$
$DBS Group Holdings (D05.SG)$
$CapLand IntCom T (C38U.SG)$
$SGX (S68.SG)$

$Mapletree Ind Tr (ME8U.SG)$
$Mapletree Log Tr (M44U.SG)$
$Mapletree PanAsia Com Tr (N2IU.SG)$

$NIO Inc (NIO.US)$
$ICBC (01398.HK)$
$BABA-W (09988.HK)$

$DBS Group Holdings (D05.SG)$ Stable

$DBS Group Holdings (D05.SG)$ The drop is a bit big.

2021 is my first year trading stocks; my gains were short lived with Macy's at a 52% realized gain. I was hooked. I unfortunately learned a costly freshman lesson on riskier growth stocks, buying into companies I don't understand, and portfolio balancing. After February my losses kept me negative overall. September briefly showed hope as I got within 4% to break even, and now I'm down 38% overall which is the largest to date. some of my biggest failed trades are FTFT, AVPT, ZOM, BNGO and OLMA. AVPT and GNOG are also my biggest weighted positions at over 20%. I recently sold AVPT at a 50% realized loss and bought into $Airbnb (ABNB.US)$ ABNB and some Intel. I use both and understand them. I feel more comfortable riding the volatility  over the next several years with these two instead.  I look forward to rebalancing my portfolio in 2022 and being more conservative with my future  investments. I also hope to figure out how to evaluate a company instead of relying on YouTubers.

"Sell on rallies," not "buy on dips," because rising interest rates will hit Wall Street, and the decline in technology stocks is surprisingly similar to the Internet bubble in 2000. We should not be too excited about short-term rebounds following a sharp decline in the stock market, because these rebounds are often illusions when the market is falling. Nasdaq staged 11 "dead cat rebounds" from April 2000 to August 2002, an increase of 45%, well before the stock market bottomed out in October 2002.
