STE's Stocks Investing Journey

Everyone Loves a Bubble – Until It Bursts Investors love bubbles. Kids love bubbles too. The sight of prices soaring day after day brings excitement, euphoria, and a false sense of wealth. Everyone feels richer when stock prices are rising. Financial media celebrates new highs, analysts start upgrading targets, and even your barber , taxi drivers starts giving stock tips. But just like the soap bubbles that shimmer beautifully before they burst, financial bubbles too are fragile illusions. They expand rapidly on the back of greed and easy money , but once pricked, they collapse with breathtaking speed, leaving destruction in their wake. On the other hand, recessions , though painful, are part of the natural rhythm of the economy. They cleanse excesses, reset valuations , and sow the seeds for the next recovery. Understanding this difference is crucial for every long-term investor who wants to protect and grow wealth steadily. < Ai Image> The Seduction of a Bubble: When Euphoria ...

Congrats !! for those invested in Keppel DC REIT as share price shoot up to $2.13 as of closing on last Friday. It's about +21% increased vs price prior to asset acquisition and equity fund rising announcement on 16th Sep 2019. I am not so sure if the new acquisition will give a DPU boost by more than 21%, else why there is a sudden change in perception or valuation for such asset class REITs after the announcement. Keppel DC Reit to raise $473.8m to partially fund data centre acquisitions   <source:straitstimes.com> F.O.M.O? T.I.N.A ? or The Sky's The Limit? By looking at the pace and % of the price increases, I think there is some kind of  " euphoria "  for the stock at this moment. Same as previous case on Capital Commercial Reit , we will still need to stick to fundamental valuation for REITs as the growth and revenue are not like those " tech stocks " that it could be " exponential " to some extent.

<image credit: realinvestmentadvice.com> “ An  economic bubble  or  asset bubble  (sometimes also referred to as a  speculative bubble , a  market bubble , a  price bubble , a  financial bubble , a  speculative mania , or a  balloon ) is trade in an  asset  at a price or the price range that strongly exceeds the asset's  intrinsic value .  It could also be described as a situation in which asset prices appear to be based on implausible or inconsistent views about the future.  Asset bubbles date back as far as the 1600s and are now widely regarded as a recurrent feature of modern economic history. Historically, the  Dutch Golden Age 's  Tulipmania  (in the mid-1630s) is often considered the first recorded economic bubble.” From Wikipedia .com
