I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

New lovers of S-REITs: What you may not heard or read in investment blogs???



Just For Thinking ...

For those who are new lovers of S-REITs who have been "seduced" by their attractiveness as regular income stream; this may be an eye-opening comment for you.

Many thanks to real life investing lesson shared by Michael Tan here.


Uncle8888 at first thought that R-REITs are oversea stocks.

    I had some similar experience - bought quite heavily in R-REIT, lost more than 60% on paper during 2008. By Feb 2009, I had many sleepless nights looking at my portfolio melting down. Then I made a drastic switch of my entire portfolio from R-REIT to B-REIT on Mar 2009 (super lucky, I must say - the super bottom then). Then by 2010, the portfolio looks better, I switch 50% B-REIT into BlueChip like KeppelCorp, SPH, Singtel, STEng, SembCorp, and etc. Today, the portfolio is looking at a good positive. Now, looking to trim it down slowly while it lasts. R-REIT=> Rubbish Reit, B-REIT => Blue-Chip REIT. Anyway, it was a very painful experience during 2008 and 2009.

  1. Hey Uncle, thanks. This R-REIT is my own self created term. But indeed, after all painful experience, the conclusion is not all REITs are as good as people think. Be careful and don't be lured by the high dividend yield. High dividend yield could also mean High risk taking! Often, this risk will only reflect when the market "wakes" up to the reality and these ownerships will be the first to fall but last to recover; in fact, if I have kept these till date, they have not recovered yet even today (i.e. still in negative positions). :)
