Anyone loading up shares of Finance companies e..g Hong Leong?

Make sense to buy now? 

My guru kopiuncle at old laopasat coffeeshop used to tell me

"Why park your money at HLF when you can use your money to buy HLF instead, and earn both dividends, bonus shares and capital appreciation over time?"

True or not best to confirm with @Jamesc 's MIL...

can leverage shares but if buy wrong shares you see the price keep dropping (eg sph, singpost, sembcorp, etc)

buy wrong private properties at least can rent out then wait for enbloc encash, the value will not depreciate like wrong shares 😅

I like shares, coz it wont drag you, and faster to liquid. Small player, not like the gurus there, fully paid and good location HDB enough for me.

hdb is good for ownstay but price very stagnant unless manage to ballot those rare goldmine eg duxton boonkeng

private properties got much more capital appreciation, and also enbloc potential for good locations

Stocks and properties are two different asset classes

Its wrong to compare them and make a case for each singularly.

i certainly wouldnt.  And as i said in previous posts, there isnt one best investment or asset class on its own.

a combination and clever use of each in a certain percentage and at the right time is key.

stocks being super liquid provides instant avenue to opportunities.  Properties being one of the most illiquid, does not.  However it reacts slower so gives less heart attacks, but when you need to cash out quick, you simply cannot.

Investing is like building and maintaining your physique

first you decide what kind of physique you want and for what purpose.  Some people like loads of muscles and looking good.  others build stamina and long distance resilience. 

Thereafter, you eat the foods and do the activities (invest in various different  asset classes or concentrating only in some)  to achieve your desired physique.  It is not easy to do.  Takes discipline over a long period.

To me, the best kind of body is not just one that looks good.  A gym built one with too big muscles, too heavy, not flexible and cant go long and far, but may possess instant power and usually without true skills is not my way.   A sport built body tried and tested, possessing skills and yet with strength to lift plus flexibility, nimbleness and stamina to go far as well as ability to recover quickly is how i want my overall investment portfolio to be.  

Its a simple concept that is easily understood but difficult to achieve, just like building your desired physique.

good luck.

Sure, I do agree with your point. You are talking about asset allocation across properties, equities, bonds, gold, cash etc. 

They are basically still subject to supply and demand and hence bubbles and excesses do form from time to time. Therefore the rules of buying when others are fearful and vice versa do apply to all markets, imo.

We still need to be educated about the value we are getting vis a vis the price we paid.

Good luck 🤞

[Showster]

If one has deep pockets, of course can talk about 5 properties taking 30%, equities and bonds taking 50% and 20% cash etc.

But if one only has enough to see through one investment type, then one really has to decide carefully what it should be.

[TangoCharlie]

Deep pockets sure have its advantages.  Otherwise, just start with equities (CPF is bond like) and cash. This is what I did.
