Major World Stock Market Indexes : Regression Line

 

                                                       < Image Credit : Azquotes.com>



STI up by 9.84% in 2021, basically if SG banks and REITs are performing well, STI should be OK as more than 60% of STI weightage are bank stocks and REITs.  For me, STI is more for dividend and passive income, slow and steady but good for retirees like me. :D




SG REITs are almost flat in 2021 but with dividends, the total returns should be around +5.8%. Of course for individual REIT, performance varies from sector to sector, data centre and logistics perform better than office and retail and the worst is still hospitality. 



HSI is one of the worst index performances in the world. It had been dragged down by the continuous crackdown by the government on property/education and tech anti-monopoly issues in 2021. Moving towards 2022, the regulatory risk is still the main issue but hope with the more accommodative and loose monetary policy, the market would rebound from here on. Valuation looks attractive from PB/PE POV. Will 2022 be a better year for HSI? Really nobody knows, I don't have the crystal ball either. :D



FTSE A50 is also down by -10.5% in 2021, although it doesn't have tech stocks like ATMXJ but the old economy stocks like Finance ( China Merchant Bank/Ping An Insurance/CITIC etc ) and consumer staples ( Kweichow Moutai/ WuliangYe/ Iner Mongolia Yili/Luzhou Laojiao etc) also suffered from low consumer consumption and sentiment. Will the improving economic situation in 2022 and loose monetary policy help to turn the tide for FTSE A50 in 2022 ? Let's hope and see...



KLSE is down by 5.6% in 2021 and I think 2022 will be another challenging year for KLSE judging from their budget and macro factors. Of course, some companies like electronic and chips related may perform better.



NIKKEI 225 is up by only 4.9% in 2021, maybe their government had stopped buying the ETF? What do you think?



FTSE 100 up nicely by more than +14% in 2021!  Oil majors ( RD-Shell /BP) /commodities ( BHP/RIO) stocks rebounded strongly in 2021 and contributed much to this uptrend. Will this trend continue in 2022, let's see if commodities and oil prices will keep rising in 2022.




DAX is up by more than 15%! Manufacturing is still the key to economic recovery for Germany. Are you changing to a new car in 2022? That will help to contribute to the uptrend of DAX :D







Hurrah !! & Congratulation! if have invested in the US market which is one of the top world stock market performers in 2021 with returns of more than +20%.

Will the party stop after FED's tapering and rising interest rate in 2022? Nobody knows , remember the above quotes from John M Keynes  "Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."

    For STI ETF, don't forget to add the dividends. Its more like 12% with dividends included.
    Euro Stoxx 600 is also a surprise top performer, with 20%+ returns.

Portfolio & Dividend Update : 28 Dec 2024

Image
2024 is about to end in a few days,  it was a rollercoaster year of market swings like a yoyo—up one moment, down the next. My portfolio value also had the same fate with the value up by +23% at one time and down to -2% at another point, and ended up with +16.5% as of 28th Dec 2024. Volatility ruled as global uncertainties and shifting sentiments tested investors' ability in portfolio management. Yet, amidst the turbulence, opportunities emerged for value-seekers to capitalize on irrational market moves. Let’s dissect how these dynamics shaped my portfolio performance and strategy this year. The Singapore Straits Times Index (STI) saw a mixed performance YTD 2024, reflecting the broader market volatility. Starting the year on a positive note, it faced sharp corrections mid-year due to global recession fears and geopolitical uncertainties. It recovered strongly in 2nd half ( up by almost +13.2%), ending with a gain of around 16.4% YTD with a strong performance from 3 Big Banks, ...

#ReturnOurCPF $$

Image
  Organisers claim #ReturnOurCPF protest drew 6K despite initial drizzle,  blazing sun  < link : yahoo.sg.com> Nurul Azliah Aripin · Nurul Azliah Aripin 7 June 2014 Some may still remember this news or saga that created a big "huha" at that time.  The #ReturnMyCPF movement in Singapore, which gained attention around 2014, was a grassroots campaign initiated by citizens to express concerns and frustrations over the Central Provident Fund (CPF) system. The CPF is a mandatory savings plan for Singaporeans and Permanent Residents, primarily for retirement, housing, and healthcare needs. The movement centred on key issues like the " lack of transparency of the CPF Board in using the money for investment/withdrawer age and policies/adequacy of retirement saving/ CPF interest rate , etc." The purpose of the blog post is not to debate who is right, and who is wrong, I think the government has already given enough explanation on most of the issues, instead, my problem...

The "Untold Story" of My Decision to F.I.R.E at Age 45

Image
What makes me want to stop working in the midst of high career path and promising career advancement? You don’t suddenly wake up and walked into your boss room ， tender your resignation letter and saying that you want to R.E (retire early) although you have achieved F.I and unless you have other plan like setting up your own business or helping the family to run the business etc.     First of all, allow me to share a few good blog-posts on   F.I and R.E   and some misconception of people about F.I.R.E before telling the " untold story " about my decision to R.E . As I mentioned before, to achieve F.I is a must and should be our ultimate goal, whereas to decide whether to have early retirement or not is very personal and depends on individual's wish and circumstances, R.E is just an option.

A Misconception About Investing Risk and Market Volatility

Image
  Volatility ≠ Risk When it comes to investing, there’s a big misconception that volatility equals risk. It’s something you hear all the time in the financial world—news headlines flash with “market volatility,” analysts fret over fluctuating stock prices. Many investors start to panic the moment they see red on their portfolios. But for those of us who take a long-term, value-focused approach, we know that volatility is not something to fear. In fact, volatility is our friend. Remember as I always mentioned: Crisis = Danger + Opportunities 危机 = 危险 + 机会   What Is Volatility, Really? Volatility is basically how much and how quickly the price of a stock or asset moves up and down over a given period. It’s typically measured by the standard deviation of returns—yes, all that maths stuff you might have learned in finance class. But don’t get too caught up in technical terms. Volatility just means the price is bouncing around more than usual. Now, many see thi...

Portfolio & Dividend Update : 4th Aug 2024

Image
 Wow! Time flies as my last blog post has been almost 6 months. As we reach the midpoint of 2024, the stock market presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges. The landscape has evolved significantly since the beginning of the year, reflecting a complex interplay of economic indicators, geopolitical events, and corporate earnings. Investors are navigating a market that is both promising and unpredictable , shaped by ongoing adjustments in monetary policy, fluctuating inflation rates, and shifting global dynamics. The first half of 2024 has seen notable volatility in the stock market. After a strong start, equities have experienced fluctuations due to a variety of factors. The market has been moving like a pendulum swing since early of the year and we have started to see some pullback in the last two weeks due to economic uncertainty. I guess the market is just trying to find an excuse (weaker job data/ PMI / consumer confidence) to have such a correction, which I think ...
