Q4 2018: Stock Market Open Season: All hands on deck

As most of you have noticed, stock prices are plummeting on a daily basis. Perhaps failure to amend the rate cap law has made foreign investors get cold feet. Or maybe the huge debt GOK is taking on has alarmed most investors triggering a selloff. The truth is, we cant tell. A quick glance at the prices and it is obvious that Christmas might come early for bargain hunters. My investment strategy entails buying value companies with good dividend yields. Therefore, although I haven't pulled the buy trigger yet, I have my eyes on the following counters:- -KCB:- At a dividend yield of over 7% and a PE of 6.4, I will watch this one closely. I like the PAT growth as well. -Longhorn:- At a dividend yield of over 8%, PE of about 7 and 20%+ profit growth every year for the last two years, this one is a no-brainer. Currently, my eyes are on those two companies as I dig up more information about them to get a sharper focus. I expect to pull the buy trigger soon (month or two) and to start averaging down as the bear market offers better prices. Happy hunting. A successful man is not he who gets the best, it is he who makes the best from what he gets.

Life is short. Live passionately.

Add a few more counters to this list, I find it too narrow For investors as a whole, returns decrease as motion increases ~ WB

I went into crypto because I wanted to learn. I did learn, made money and lost money too before knowing how to take short positions using futures. The only reason I stopped posting about crypto is because I realized most wazuans are against crypto as a whole. It was a whole new experience learning how to trade bitcoin futures. Again, in speculation (not investment), you only risk what you can afford to lose. A successful man is not he who gets the best, it is he who makes the best from what he gets.

Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

I actually recovered my money and I'm 21% up now after learning how to short. But I wouldn't advise risking more than you are ready to lose in crypto. That space is extremely volatile. A successful man is not he who gets the best, it is he who makes the best from what he gets.

You are great. It's quite hard to recovery and 21% up because you have strong mindset and control over emotion. I will try my best on my year 2019 too.
