An email from another reader:
Hello AK
I was thinking about the investment portfolio and its exposure to the various countries and sectors.
S-REIT is good for the high dividends payout but I feel that there will be a time that I will have a high exposure to the property sector.
While the % of sector/counters per $10,000 to be invested is up to individual, what will be a recommended spread of counters that we could look at for portfolio diversification.
Note that I am still newbie to FA (still dunno what 200dma means) and will not watch the market like a hawk for the buy-sell quick profits.
Your thoughts appreciated.
Thanks
J

Hi J,
My strategy is quite simple.
-There is a time to buy and a time to sell. When I hit my targets, I sell.
-If I cannot find any bargains, I don't buy. I keep cash until bargains present themselves.
-I try not to be vested in too many sectors/countries for the supposed safety that would come from diversification. In fact, I would be burdened with the need to monitor too many things.
Just my way. ;)
Best wishes,
AK
P.S. 200dMA is "200 days moving average" and is part of TA, not FA.
