"My wife says I should have balls of steel like AK."

Reader says...
I invested in Comfort before you but sold when stock price dropped so much because I thought would drop more.

Then, I could buy back at a lower price.

Till now, I am still waiting to buy back.

My wife told me I should have balls of steel like AK.

Haiz. How you do it?

AK says...
Alamak.

Balls of steel?

Sounds heavy and probably painful to walk around with too.

They might also rust and would need polishing.

Aiyoh, sounds like work.






I don't like pain and I don't like work even more.

Don't curse me leh.

Seriously, know what we are investing in and if we are sure it will pay dividends, all we have to do is to sit back and wait.





AK is super lazy and doesn't like moving around too much lah.

OK, if you are not too lazy, you might want to read the related posts at the end of this blog.

Ouch. Ouch! OUCH!

Notice that you only has local sg shares for income. Any reasons why not consider overseas shares to avoid the standard "home bias" portfolio allocation?

AK says...
Singapore has ample investment opportunities for the income investor in me.

This is partly also because I am not managing a large multi-million dollar portfolio.

I am not so rich. 😉

And it helps that I am not too greedy. 😛






Reader says...
But does it mean a lack of diversification in non sg assets?


AK says...
If you want geographical diversification, you can always put money in counters which have overseas businesses or assets. 

For a while, a big chunk of my money was actually in Japan if you remember Saizen REIT and Croesus Retail Trust, for examples. 

Even today, my portfolio has exposure to overseas investments if you look at my top investments. 😉
