If i have $5k with me right now, can u guide me on how do i invest my money like yours in dividends?
before i invest, i would first make sure i have 6mths of emergency funds available and adequate insurance cover for myself and manage my other liabilities.
then i will start to invest.
you go to the heartland, look around. identify what are the brands you see. what are the people doing. etc
see the banks, dbs, ocbc, uob. u see people using handphones, either they use singtel or call other singtel users at one time or another. then u see people queueing up taking comfortcabs. u see the ntuc and shengsiong. at the traffic light crossing, do u know st eng is reponsible for the traffic lights, some if not all? then see the post man on his stylish looking scooter delivering the posts.
singtel would give me jan and august dividend
singpost march july august november
banks normally may and august/september
sgx feb may oct nov
sph may and december
etc and so on
do some reseach. open up the sgx website. then can plan to buy into 5-10 counters. and accept prices go up and down all the time. losing some money don’t be sad. gain a bit dont be happy. sit back and collect the dividends. either use them to reinvest them.
everything has risk, but buying into these blue chips and owning 5-10 of them will greatly minimise them. think abt it, if any of them goes bust, usually it means catasrophie. for them to stop paying dividends, already is very bad
bear in mind one time brokerage fees. thus i won’t engage in buying and selling as the fees will eat into my money.
Hi Ismail,
IMO. $5K is too low to create a diversified portfolio of stocks unless you are looking at ETF.
Yoland has given many good pointers. You may also like to sign up and download the E-book on how financial bloggers invest their first $20K.
Hi Derek,
Hope you can guide me about investing for dividends-
Thanks
