【Thursday Special】What Are Opportunities That Not Many People Know But Are Worth Investing In?
Welcome to this week's Thursday Special!
It was a volatile day for markets. Even though the inflation data was better than expected, the minutes of the FOMC meeting suggest a recession later this year.
However, recessions don't mean losses. Even in a bear market, there are people who outperform the $S&P 500(.SPX)$.
Today we'll talk about different investment strategies for bull and bear markets or what are opportunities that not many people know about but are worth investing in.
For example, @HLPA shares with us ‘Is it wise to hold your shares till ex-dividend (XD)?’
Let us take an example. DBS has just gone XD on Monday 10th April 2023. At the close of trading before Monday, DBS was at 33.38. If you still have your DBS shares, you will get the 92-cent dividentd. Theoretically, DBS shares would be 33.38 less 0.92 i.e. 32.46 on Monday and it closed at 32.39 making it better if you had sold off before XD and buy on Monday at XD. Right now, Wednesday, DBS is trading at 32.21 making it even more atttactive to have sold your DBS before XD and buy now as it is much cheaper!
UOB, OCBC, Keppel Corp, Jardine C&C, City Dev, Capitaland Invest and Sembcorp Industries have ther XD dates soon. So from DBS experience, would you hold these shares till XD to get its announced dividend or sell off and buy back at XD price or likely lower like what DBS had turned out?

When an investment vehicle offers a high rate of return in a short period of time, investors know this means the investment is risky. Given enough time, many investments have the potential to double the initial principal amount, but many investors are instead attracted to the lure of high yields in short periods of time despite the possibility of unattractive losses.
Make no mistake, there is no guaranteed way to double your money with any investment. But there are plenty of examples of investments that doubled or more in a short period of time. For every one of these, there are hundreds that have failed, so the onus is on the buyer to beware.”
I was able to grabbed at a very good price after XD but I just sold to fast for min. profit where I'm unable to buy back for now [Cry]
Waiting patiently for my adjustment target price & learn to hold longer-term!
however, if you've done your research on a fair value of a company and you find out that its price has already below it, that it's time to take an Average Down Buy approach to finally own your favourite stock.
I don't have any new idea for now, will share it later if I know more.
what's your tips @Viv22 @LMSunshine @KYHBKO @Tigress02 @Universe宇宙 @kungpao @wine18 @cindyft @Xian789 @MTok
For value investor, it is only buy and buy for good stock, like investment guru, WB. They are looking for bargains. Always do your FA and DD before you make a purchase [Salute] [OK] [Heart]
DBS刚刚在2023年4月10日星期一发布XD。周一收盘时，星展银行报33.38。如果你还有你的星展银行股份，你将得到92美分的股息。理论上，星展银行的股价周一将为33.38减去0.92，即32.46，收于32.39，如果你在XD之前抛售，周一在XD买入，情况会更好。现在，星期三，DBS的交易价格是32.21，这使得在XD之前卖出你的DBS并现在买入变得更加有吸引力，因为它要便宜得多！
在牛市中，市场情绪乐观，投资者信心高涨，股票价格普遍上涨。这时，一些投资者可能会采取追涨杀跌的策略，追高买入已经涨幅较大的股票，希望赚取更多的利润。但是，这样的策略存在较大的风险，因为市场上涨已经较长时间，股票价格可能已经超出其真实价值，随时可能出现回调或调整。因此，在牛市中，投资者应该注重价值投资，选择一些具有稳健业绩、估值合理的公司股票，并控制好仓位，避免盲目追高。
在熊市中，市场情绪低迷，投资者信心不足，股票价格普遍下跌。这时，一些投资者可能会采取抄底策略，以低价买入被低估的股票，希望在股市反弹时获得更高的收益。但是，熊市中的股票价格波动较大，市场风险较高，投资者应该非常谨慎，避免盲目抄底。在熊市中，投资者可以考虑采取分散投资的策略，选择一些具有较稳健业绩、较强抗风险能力的公司股票，并控制好仓位，避免过度集中投资。
总的来说，无论是在牛市还是熊市中，投资者都需要根据市场情况和自身风险承受能力，采取相应的投资策略。同时，投资者应该注重风险控制，避免盲目跟风或盲目追高抄底，提高投资的成功率和收益率。
