In my previous post i have explained why i decided to head into Stock Investment and how my portfolio outperforms the S&P 500 Index over the past 12 years.
Now i want to share with you on my current portfolio and what are the 3 simple ways or hacks to ensure your Investment Portfolio is generating investments better than S&P 500 Index.
SG INVEST by ST-NEVE Investment Portfolio
Here is the current snapshot as of 9 June 2020. It shows the latest price per share against the average price per share bought over the last 12 years.
Of course in every portfolio, not all stocks would be growing as expected. As long as you can pick more stocks doing better than the weaker ones, you should do well.
i would like to document each stock of when it was bought to give you a better context of the 3 Simple Ways that has served me well and i hope it does for you too.
Let's explore the 3 Simple Ways before we deep dive into each stock.
Familiar Products and Services
This is the most basic strategy to choose a stock. Choose company stocks that you are already using or everyone is using. Find Blue Chip stocks as these companies are theoretically financially sound.
Just look at your phone brand, what apps you scroll every 10 seconds or what movies you always go catch every other month. Anything that you do or want to do requires using a product or service. These are the brands you could consider.
React to Bad News VERY Positively and Proactively
Each time the market nose dives or a certain company is in the spot light negatively, these are the perfect opportunities to take note and prepare your war chest to get the stocks you have been monitoring. Of course you can do lots of research and analysis if you can afford the time.
I usually monitor a stock I have interest in for at least 6 months and just keep it on my watchlist. When bad news appears for these stocks on my watchlist, i would determine the value i should go in.
Profits are made when the stock is bought, NOT when it is sold.
Buy and hold forever!
This is the best strategy as it allows you to compound your stock value over the maximum time horizon. This is also a major reason why we should start investing as young as possible. By investing the stock early on, you can see the benefits in 10 years later.
In my opinion, this is the best for young millennial to prepare for their retirement funds.
Our average working career would at best span 30 to 35 years. During this period, however small the investment amount you can put in, just do it!.
