Lost more on Alibaba and $200K left for AIMS APAC REIT.

Another reader left me a comment but didn't want his identity known.

So, not publishing his comment which has a link to his page.

The comment:

Dear AK 

Thanks for selflessly sharing your knowledge, experience and wisdom...

I recently found your blog when i googled for news on Alibaba...

Bought some Alibaba when so many said it was cheap and bought more to average down...

Wish i didn't because now lost even more... really a lot...

Your investing style seems rock solid and i want to learn more from you...

I only have about $200,000 cash left which can be invested...

Thinking of putting it all in Aims Reit because with war in Europe it is safer than Ireit...

7.5% yield now will be $15,000 passive income a year... will help me recover...  

Correct me if i am wrong...  wish i knew...

No regrets investing for income.

Dear BK, 

Welcome to ASSI and I am glad you have found it useful. :) 

I don't give advice. 

Not allowed to and don't want to. 

Responsibility scares me. -.-" 

A few things though. 

Please remember that 

Putting money in a REIT is not putting money in a fixed deposit and we should not look at distribution yield only. 

Putting all our money in a single investment leads to concentration risk and if that investment should go bad, we are sunk. 

AIMS APAC REIT is a big investment in my portfolio but it isn't my only income generating investment.
