Its the time of the year when i usually do a re-assessment of my investment strategy and capital allocation in order to stay ahead of market cycles. I am guilty of holding onto some counters for way too long even after they have reached my target price. It seems most brokerage houses keep upgrading stocks and shifting their target higher and higher. One such example is Singtel, now its target is $4.20? sure, maybe but not in the short term. I had to take profit early and trust me Singtel will come down eventually to find support at a lower level before the final push to the $4 region. All of my REIT holdings are also above target prices, Genting seems to be under the bus at the moment so i shall have to wait longer for it to reach my target price.
Anyway in order to do capital relocation, i need to free up some money. Chinese stocks look super attractive at the moment, with such valuations one cannot resist. I am going to pick individual counters which are growth stocks and play the broader index to diversify.
Another point, I know for a fact, battery technology we currently use is outdated (over a century old). Cant wait to say goodbye to the pencil batteries. Having worked on Lithium-Air batteries myself, next generation battery technology is headed towards leaner, paper thin, Lithium Ion batteries with a greater capacity and recyclability than any existing alkaline or lithium cadmium ion battery. Therefore, i invested in BYD, manufacturers of next generation lithium ion batteries, PV cells and Electric cars. They are registered on the HKSE since 2002. Even Warren Buffet himself bought a huge stake for himself, however i must say, his timing was way way off. But you know what, this is a long term play and he knows it. Small retail investors just dont have the sort of capital to throw around so our timing has to be at least accurate.
