Hi Dividends warrior,

I remember reading somewhere in your blog that you are 28 years old?

With 100k of cash + stock at 28 is impressive. How did you achieve that? You got high paying job?

Bliz said...

why choose to divest neratele?

Dividend Tech Warrior said...

Hi OT83,

Thanks for visiting my blog and the compliment.

How I did it? Just diligent saving and prudent investing. ^^

U have a pretty nice blog too!

Hi Bliz,

I wan to redirect my funds into SingPost. More stability.

Bliz said...

Hi DW,

Though I think the returns for Neratele is much better than SingPost? Prices are actually relatively stable.. though it has dropped more than usual this year after it XD.

Dividend Tech Warrior said...

Hi Bliz,

Yes, the dividend yield of Neratel is better than Singpost.

However, Singpost allows me to sleep better at night, if u noe wad I mean. ^^

Hi Dividends Warrior,

Nice blog you have.

Whats your opinion on SMRT? Considering about the coming fare hike and opening of new circle line in Oct, do you think its a good time to invest since its currently price at $1.85?

Dividend Tech Warrior said...

Hi Jack,

Thanks for the compliment. ^^

The fare hike is positive.

But the opening of new stations might be negative. The operating cost will increase. More staff, more maintenance, higher electric bill.

I try not to invest in businesses that have direct dependence on oil prices. E.g. SIA, SMRT, SBS etc.

The dividend yield of less than 5% is also not very attractive for me.

Quite a nice portfolio you have there! I have a couple of friends who do the same, but you beat both of them. :P

Hi DW,

I have Suntec REIT, Cache Logistics Trust and First REIT too. Looking forward to the divvies too. :D

Jack said...

Hello Dividends Warrior,

Thanks for your reply, appreciate that and I agree with you.

I'm curious do you intend sell your shares when it achieves capital growth or do you solely keep them for dividends?

Or to put it simply, besides divesting, when do you sell your shares? :)

Nick said...

Hi Dividends Warrior

This is an interesting blog you have here!

I have just started out investing only. Will you mind sharing me some specific resources I can work on to be a good investor?(I am overwhelmed by which information I can accept in the Internet and books) I am currently using a demo account at Investopedia, so if I were to shift to a real account, how do I do it? How do you balance the risk management of your portfolio to be less risk averse?

Hope to get some guidance from you. Thanks! XD

Hi, Dividend Warrior,
I am new in the market. Noticed that you have Singpost. Are you going to sell it or hold as its price is falling now. And we am not sure whether the market is going to have another recession. Just out of curiosity, may I ask how long have you been investing in stock market? Really admire your achievement and your sincerity in sharing your experience!
Thanks

Hi Jack,

Most of my holdings are income stocks. Therefore, I do not foresee myself selling them just for capital gains.

I might rebalance my portfolio from time to time by selling and redirecting my funds, but I still mainly go for dividends at the end of the day.

Dividend Tech Warrior said...

Hi Nick,

Thanks for visiting my blog and the compliments too.^^

I have some websites to recommend. CNBC, Investopedia, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, MSN Finance, Forbes.

You can also visit other investment/financial blogs.

If you wanna set up a trading account, just visit the banks. I am using DBS Vickers.

I try to minimise the risk by focusing more on blue chips.

Dividend Tech Warrior said...

Hi San,

Thanks for visiting my blog.^^

I have divested Singpost bcos I needed it for a personal matter. However, I cut loss on Keppel Corp bcos the price has reached my cut loss level.

I am keeping more cash in this volatile market.

I have been investing for about 2 years.

All the best in your investments too. :)
