SINGAPORE STOCKS AND INVESTING FOR 2019: WHAT'S NEXT?
Dear readers, How time flies.
Although it sounds like a cliché, let me say it once more time: “How time flies!” And soon, we will be ushering in a brand New Year 2019!
Year 2018 would be over soon. And for investors, Year 2018 should be recalled as a year where the seemingly bullish markets could be well be corrected. I mean there have been episodes of volatiles which resulted in the downward spiral of global equities markets.
From an intra-year high of 3,600 over, the STI is just a little over 3,000 mark; having corrected approximately 15%.
Against the aforementioned backdrop, how will Singapore stocks perform in the brand new year 2019?
Well, analysts have been looking at their crystal balls and trotted out some of their recommendations. Their recommended stocks are as what I have shared with you in an earlier post here.
One common finding of mine is that analysts generally favor the blue-chip stocks as the recommended stocks for next year and I am not sure whether it is because next year may be a trickier year for stocks and hence the larger-caps stocks are considered safer bets?
And you probably would have known that I hold a bearish outlook for global equities including Singapore’s in general. I have predicted the STI to head south and if you have not earlier read my post in relation to my aforementioned humble prediction, you could revisit this link here again.
Looking at the development of global equities this year, many expect global vagaries to plague the stocks markets next year and hence investors who wish to grow their monies against the backdrop of a seemingly more volatile stocks markets may feel it heartening to learn of one way to do so in this link.
As this is most likely SSI’s last newsletter of Year 2018 to you, I wish All of You A Happy New Year 2019 ahead!
Thank You for your continuous support!
Best regards,
