CapitaCommercial Trust (C61U)

I was so preoccupied with playing TradeHero yesterday. It's so much fun buying stocks using fake money. I bought a couple of stocks that I don't currently own in my portfolio. Some which I probably won't be able to afford anyway or shouldn't buy as I won't be able to deal with the foreign exchange differences. I'm currently down 0.81% which is totally expected since I can't read charts and probably didn't get the entry point right. I would share about my portfolio picks later on in another post.

Previously, I mentioned that I was barred from buying CCT due to my job but I was eyeing it since October 2013. Simply because their new office building CapitaGreen was built right opposite my office which translates to more revenue for them and would more than likely push up the stock price. It means a lot of visibility to me as I get affected by the dust and noise. It also piques my interest in this building and that's how I get ideas on stock picks.

Back in December 2013, the price was at 1.39 and frankly since October 2013, the price was like a roller coaster. But it has been climbing for a while since February 2014 and now it's at 1.665. Funny thing was that I left my job in January so technically I could have bought this stock and made a bundle!!! Recently I read that CCT owns 40% of CapitaGreen and they could potentially buy over the remaining 60% from CapitaLand and other partners between 2015 to 2017. If they do buy over, it can only boost the stock price. But I am also thinking of the new Tanjong Pagar Centre that Guocoland is building which would impact Capital Tower and Twenty Anson that is held by CCT.

I am keeping this on my watch list as I'm on the fence about purchasing it now. Not when the stock price has been climbing for the past 7 months. I feel that I have missed the boat in a way but would buy this in a flash if the price drops to the range of 1.50 ++.  My target price to offload this would be when it's at least 1.80++.

A tale of two stocks

Once in a while say a year or two later, I will be very kaypoh and look at the past stocks that I’ve analysed before just to see how it’s doing. I may or may not have invested or traded in that stock but it just takes one second to click on the link and see the chart. I would have remembered it’s previous price so the current chart can either make me have 3 reactions. Oh chey, it’s the same or not much difference, Wow look at it go to heaven or Wah Kao this one die liao.  For the first reaction I usually just leave the stock be but for the other two reactions, I will go and take a look at my past analysis to see whether I’ve “predicted” it’s future. Two stocks caught my eye as one went to the sky and one straight to hell. Both were similar in the sense that they faced crises except that one managed to turnaround whereas the one in the depths of hell have a long way to go. Let’s start with the one in hell which is  Capita  which I did a sort of write up on in 2014. ...

Are you exchanging time for money?

Time is the most precious commodity on Earth. Or maybe it should be oxygen because without it we would just die! Assuming that our basic needs are met ensuring our survival, then time is more valuable than money although some may argue that money can be used to buy time. It's true in some situations and not in others. For example, money can help to relieve you of some mundane tasks so that you have more time to do things that you like. But money can't buy you time with your loved ones if their time is up. If you hate your job, you may feel like you are exchanging your time for money especially as you count down the minutes, days, weeks, months or even years to a new job or to a new endeavour that hopefully won't make you dread getting out of bed everyday. Sometimes I think we forget how precious time is and waste it like it is always there. In a way time is like oxygen, we breathe every second until we forget its very existence until it is taken away from us. The tim...

True or False: Guaranteed minimum of 40% returns

I had some difficulty thinking of what to write in this post and as I read the posts of other bloggers, I thought that I should share about my Chinese beautician who is an excellent source of stock market ideas and everything from China.  Basically we talk about stocks almost all the time since she invests in purely Chinese stocks. Currently ACCICB covers Chinese stocks so I've been thinking of starting my research and who knows I may pick up some stocks along the way. Back when we both didn't know that the other invests/trade, we already get along since we bitch to each other about work and I find her rather similar to me in terms of personality. I admire her candor among other characteristics and over the space of many years, we have become rather close. I do worry when she wants to return back for good and as she will be going home for a month, she told me that she knows of this scheme in China which seems like a deal too good to be true except that it's tru...
