Boat of Opportunity Coming for COVID-19 Stock Rally

Posted on November 25, 2020 Written by

COVID-19 vaccine likely will get FDA approval soon, then will be injected ASAP to millions of people globally by end of Dec 2020, before extending to billions of people in the next 6-12 months to end the pandemic permanently. In fact, even 2/3 people are protected, enough to terminate COVID-19 virus naturally as spreading path will be limited when over 60% people have immunity.

Stock market is forward looking, economy is the “master” who walk the “dog” which is stock market taking the lead.  For conventional investor who waits for confirmation of economy recovery may miss the early boat of COVID-19 stock crisis recovery rally

There are 2 main investing and trading strategies during any major stock crisis (including COVID-19 pandemic):

1) Average Down (Bear Market)

This is mainly suitable for cyclic / dividend / undervalue stocks which share prices are declining into lower optimism. Dividend yield of 2% – 10% would help to strengthen holding power of investor during “winter time” of stock crisis. Now it is the time for this group of contrarian investors to benefit in coming summer of bullish stock market with tremendous capital gains.

2) Average Up (Bull Market)

This is mainly suitable for growth / momentum stocks with uptrend prices, eg technology / software and COVID-19 beneficiary stocks (eg healthcare, glove, etc). This strategy is sensitive to price trend (especially momentum trading), therefore recently there is sector rotation with changing of momentum to COVID-19 affected stocks (those average down stocks now become potential average up stocks).

It is fine if stock investors have missed the past 8 months of stock “crisis” to buy low (i.e. average down). Now the investors should not miss the change of “average up” but careful choice of growth / momentum stocks in the right sector is crucial for success as share price is getting higher (but still moderate low optimism).

The old saying of “Crisis is Opportunity” is correct for the past decades of market cycle every 5-10+ years, again proven correct for COVID-19 stock crisis. However, this is conditional the investment has to be a giant stock. If not, “Buy Low” may “Get Lower” or even going bankrupt.

=====================================================

Congratulations to success of Ein55 graduates who dare to overcome own biggest enemy (oneself) to take action, “Be Greedy when others are fearful”. I have received many positive students feedback, here are a few examples:

– over 40% DBS gains + over 20% OCBC gains when investing since Mar 2020

– over 50% gains in Nov 2020 for an US giant bank stock (cyclic)

– over 40% gains in an online HR technology stock (growth)

– over 25% gains in Nov 2020 for 2 oil & gas giant stocks (cyclic + dividend)

– and many other global giant stocks (there are total over 1500 giant stocks following Dr Tee giant stock criteria).

It is never too late to learn stock investment. You have not missed the investment opportunity yet (despite recent stock rally) as there are at least 10 different strategies in stock investing and trading, some adjustments are required for the current global stock market, different from the past 8 months of pandemic. It is important to master the skills quickly within the next 6 months, in order not to miss the last few boats of opportunities for COVID-19 stock crisis (should be called “rally” now).

Once day, the rally would become crisis again, therefore an investor has to master such investment clock for Stocks, Properties, Forex (including bitcoin), Commodities and Bonds.

===================================

There are over 1500 giant stocks in the world based on Dr Tee criteria, choice of 10 Dream Team giant stocks have to align with one’s unique personality, eg. for shorter term trading (eg. momentum or swing trading) or longer term investing (cyclic investing, undervalue investing or growth investing).

Change Horse with Sector Rotation (乾坤大挪移)

Posted on November 18, 2020 Written by

Since wind direction is changing in global stock market with sector rotation, readers may consider to “change horse” for some stocks from past momentum stocks which are losing steam (eg. Technology / Software / Glove / Healthcare benefiting from pandemic, etc) to cyclic giant stocks (eg. Bank, Casino, Hotel, Oil & Gas, Healthcare affected by pandemic, etc) which are recovering from lower optimism.

After recent US election with potential new world order (US vs world/China) by President-Elect, Joe Biden, supported by positive COVID-19 news (2 vaccines are proven to have effectiveness over 90%), global stock markets become more “greedy” and rally includes most stocks, especially for many pandemic affected sectors. It means the stock market is in transition from K-Shape recovery (uptrend vs downtrend for 2 main groups) to overall U-Shape recovery.

Growth or momentum stocks are usually suitable to average up with support of bullish economy, strong business fundamental and uptrend prices. However, when there is competition of fund, money would find its way to look for potential opportunity of quicker and higher return. Power of growth investing is with the holding power to compound the return for higher capital gains. “Buy High Sell Higher” is sustainable only if the business is growing with faster pace, supported by strong economic moat.

Cyclic stocks are usually suitable for average down with condition they are giant stocks which are temporarily affected by sector, country or global financial crisis. During low optimism period, these giant stocks could continue to pay dividend (some even with dividend yield of 5-10%, much better than bank interest rates of less than 0.5%) as bonus, when the uptrend cycle is triggered expectedly in future (with uncertain date, depending on pace of sector recovery and market wind direction of greed and fear), those who could take calculated risks could enjoy the enormous capital gains. “Buy Low Sell High” is only meaningful if supported by value investing.

Stock investors or traders may consider to rebalance stock portfolio with “Change Horse” among the sectors, diversifying over 10-20 global giant stocks with average-up or average-down strategies, aligning with own unique personalities (eg. short term trading or long term investing).

COVID19 stock crisis recovery rally may be sustainable only if there are more support by Biden after officially become US president on 20 Jan 2021. Political fight between Senate (controlled by Republican currently) and Democrat (US president & the House) may continue for 2 more years unless the last 2 Senate seats in state of Georgia (re-election in Jan 2021) could be won by Democrat, only then major decision (Eg. QE) could be passed easily.

Biden is likely more gentle in global trade policies as past Democrat presidents (eg. aiming win-win or balanced approach, not win-lose or extreme approach as Trump). This would be helpful for global stock markets (alliance and opponent of US would be more relieved). However, since Trump as set a “high standard” against China, Biden could not be too gentle in the beginning as Trump may continue to gather momentum to come back again 4 years later to run for US president again.

Last Few Trains for COVID-19 Stock Crisis Recovery Rally

Posted on November 17, 2020 Written by

Global stock markets see strong light at the end of tunnel recently with confirmation of Biden as new US president and news COVID-19 vaccine over 90% effectiveness. During early phase of pandemic, Dr Tee students learned to apply defensive dividend stock strategies to consider Asian giant stocks at low optimism (average down strategy), balancing with growth investing / momentum trading (average up strategy) in bullish US giant stocks.

The stock market this time is different from last 8 months of V-shape recovery limited to a few sectors (eg. Technology / Software, Healthcare / Glove, etc). There are sectors rotation, focusing more on cyclical stocks (eg. banks and oil & gas) and COVID-19 affected stocks are recovering quickly, resulting in global surge in share prices, over 10-40% over the past few weeks.

Even for lagging Singapore stock market, 30 STI component blue chip stocks have started to surge together with the world stock market:

Ascendas Reit (SGX: A17U), CapitaLand (SGX: C31), CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (SGX: C38U), City Development (SGX: C09), ComfortDelGro (SGX: C52), Dairy Farm International (SGX: D01), DBS Bank (SGX: D05), Genting Singapore (SGX: G13), Hongkong Land (SGX: H78), Jardine Cycle & Carriage (SGX: C07), Jardine Matheson Holdings JMH (SGX: J36), Jardine Strategic Holdings JSH (SGX: J37), Keppel Corp (SGX: BN4), Keppel DC Reit (SGX: AJBU), Mapletree Commercial Trust (SGX: N2IU), Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U), Mapletree Logistics Trust (SGX: M44U), OCBC Bank (SGX: O39), SATS (SGX: S58), Sembcorp Industries (SGX: U96), Singapore Airlines (SGX: C6L), Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68), Singtel (SGX: Z74), ST Engineering (SGX: S63), Thai Beverage (SGX: Y92), UOB Bank (SGX: U11), UOL (SGX: U14), Venture Corporation (SGX: V03), Wilmar International (SGX: F34), YZJ Shipbldg SGD (SGX: BS6).

If Biden could get support from Congress after 20 Jan 2021 to print more money with QE (Quantitative Easing), the potential stock market upside is enormous, especially when more proven vaccines are manufactured and injected globally, allowing more people to interact again, as if a reborn of world economy which would drive the stock market further up.

Stock market is forward looking, will not wait for the economy to be strong first. Since the vaccine development and implementation is considered nearly known unknown, global stock market is getting stronger with more confirmation news.

Crisis is opportunity (eg. 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, 2003 SARS / Gulf War, 2008-2009 Subprime crisis, including COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-2021), it is never too late to consider stock investing and trading now but one has to master what to buy with global giant stocks, following by the unique investment clock of when to buy and sell.

During pandemic, they took the courage to learn in 6-day Ein55 class (www.ein55.com/course) with both Meet-up / Live Zoom options, including Singapore and overseas students (Malaysia, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Qatar, etc).

10 Global Internet Giant Stocks (FANG-MAN-ATM) (龙头老大)

Posted on October 29, 2020 Written by

World has the largest IPO of all time with listing of Ant Finance (Ant Group, HKEX: 6688) on 5 Nov 2020, right after US presidential election but some retail investors are disappointed of could not get a piece of pie.  In fact, there are many proven technology giant stocks globally with great potential ahead, there is no need to invest in an emerging technology stock during IPO.

In this article, you will learn from Dr Tee on 10 US and Hong Kong Internet Giant Stocks (FANG-MAN-ATM) for longer term investing and / or short term trading with impact of COVID-19 crisis. Bonus for readers who could read every words of the entire article, learning alternative way of investing in all these giant stocks with limited capital.

1) FANG Stocks

– Facebook (NASDAQ: FB)

– Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN)

– Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX)

– Google (Alphabet) (NASDAQ: GOOGL)

2) MAN Stocks

– Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT)

– Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL)

– Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA)

3) ATM Stocks

– Alibaba (HKEX: 9988 / NYSE: BABA) & Ant Group (HKEX: 6688)

– Tencent (HKEX: 700)

– Meituan (HKEX: 3690)

Over a life time, an investor may experience a few generations of technology evolutions about every 20 years.  In 1980s, with invention of computer, Microsoft (Windows) and Apple (Mac) became popular and they manage to extend the company lifespan with next generation applications such as clouding computing and gaming industry, supporting new comer such as Nvidia. MAN stocks (Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia) are mainly supported by more internet users with computers and mobile devices.

In 2000s, with popularity of internet, FANG stocks (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Google) become highly demanded with disruptive technologies with strong global network. In 2020s, with support of high-speed 5G mobile applications among high population network in China, ATM stocks (Alibaba, Tencent, Meituan) are gaining momentum, becoming the Top 3 largest component stock of Hong Kong Hang Seng Tech Index.  As of today, all 10 giant internet stocks (FANG-MAN-ATM) with different length of company history, are leading in world with internet era.

It is hard to invest the same technology stock for life as new or disruptive technology could overthrow the existing market leaders, past examples are Yahoo, Motorola, Nokia, etc.  Therefore, technology stock investors need to know the stage of technology of a business, emerging, mature or declining.  In general, growth investing and / or momentum trading strategies could be more suitable for 10 FANG-MAN-ATM stocks.

Singapore technology stocks are mostly small cap, hard to have scale of economy and networking efficiency to compete with these 10 FANG-MAN-ATM stocks.  Just Netflix (smallest of 10 giant internet stocks) alone is about 40 times larger than the total market cap of all 88 technology stocks in Singapore (investor could still focus only on a few little giant stocks in Singapore for investing):

Accrelist Limited (SGX: QZG), Acma Limited (SGX: AYV), Advanced Systems Automation (SGX: 5TY), Adventus Holdings (SGX: 5EF), AEI Corporation (SGX: AWG), AEM Holdings (SGX: AWX), Allied Technologies Limited (SGX: A13), Amplefield Limited (SGX: AOF), Asian Micro Holdings (SGX: 585), ASTI Holdings (SGX: 575), Avi Tech Electronics (SGX: BKY), Ban Leong Technologies (SGX: B26), CDW Holding (SGX: BXE), CEI Limited (SGX: AVV), CFM Holdings (SGX: 5EB), Chuan Hup Holdings (SGX: C33), CPH Limited (SGX: 539), Creative Technology (SGX: C76), Datapulse Technology (SGX: BKW), Dragon Group International (SGX: MT1), Dutech Holdings (SGX: CZ4), Duty Free International (SGX: 5SO), Ellipsiz Limited (SGX: BIX), Excelpoint Technology (SGX: BDF), Frencken Group (SGX: E28), Global Invacom Group (SGX: QS9), Global Testing Corporation (SGX: AYN), GP Industries (SGX: G20), Grand Venture Technology (SGX: JLB), HGH Holdings (SGX: 5GZ), Hu An Cable Holdings (SGX: KI3), ICP Limited (SGX: 5I4), Jadason Enterprises (SGX: J03), JEP Holdings (SGX: 1J4), Karin Technology Holdings (SGX: K29), Ley Choon Group (SGX: Q0X), Libra Group (SGX: 5TR), Manufacturing Integration Technology (SGX: M11), Maruwa Yen1k (SGX: M12), MeGroup Limited (SGX: SJY), Micro-Mechanics Holdings (SGX: 5DD), Plastoform Holdings (SGX: AYD), Polaris Limited (SGX: 5BI), Powermatic Data Systems  (SGX: BCY), Renaissance United (SGX: I11), Serial System (SGX: S69), SEVAK Limited (SGX: BAI), Shinvest Holding (SGX: BJW), Sunright Limited (SGX: S71), Sunrise Shares Holdings (SGX: 581), SUTL Enterprise (SGX: BHU), Thakral Corporation (SGX: AWI), The Place Holdings (SGX: E27), Trek 2000 International (SGX: 5AB), TT International (SGX: T09), UMS Holdings (SGX: 558), Valuetronics Holdings (SGX: BN2), Venture Corporation (SGX: V03), Willas-Array Electronics Holdings (SGX: BDR), World Precision Machinery (SGX: B49), Alpha Energy Holdings (SGX: 5TS), Alset International (SGX: 40V), Artivision Technologies (SGX: 5NK), Asiatravel.com Holdings (SGX: 5AM), A-Smart Holdings (SGX: BQC), Azeus Systems Holdings (SGX: BBW), Boustead Singapore Limited (SGX: F9D), Captii (SGX: AWV), Challenger Technologies (SGX: 573), CSE Global (SGX: 544), DISA (SGX: 532), International Press Softcom (SGX: 571), ISDN Holdings (SGX: I07), Keppel DC Reit (SGX: AJBU), Koyo International (SGX: 5OC), M Development (SGX: N14), Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U), New Silkroutes Group (SGX: BMT), New Wave Holdings (SGX: 5FX), PEC (SGX: IX2), Plato Capital (SGX: YYN), Procurri Corporation (SGX: BVQ), Rich Capital Holdings (SGX: 5G4), Silverlake Axis (SGX: 5CP), SinoCloud Group (SGX: 5EK), Stratech Group (SGX: BRR), Synagie Corp (SGX: V2Y), YuuZoo Networks Group Corp (SGX: AFC).

In fact, STI stock Index is much weaker than US stock index (S&P500 and NASDAQ) and Hong Kong stock index (HSI) mainly due to lack of giant growth technology stocks (such as 10 FANG-MAN-ATM stocks which are US and Hong Kong stock index main component stocks), having only 1 cyclic technology stock (Venture) in 30 STI index component stocks:

Ascendas Reit (SGX: A17U), CapitaLand (SGX: C31), CapitaLand Mall Trust (SGX: C38U), City Development (SGX: C09), ComfortDelGro (SGX: C52), Dairy Farm International (SGX: D01), DBS Bank (SGX: D05), Genting Singapore (SGX: G13), Hongkong Land (SGX: H78), Jardine Cycle & Carriage (SGX: C07), Jardine Matheson Holdings JMH (SGX: J36), Jardine Strategic Holdings JSH (SGX: J37), Keppel Corp (SGX: BN4), Keppel DC Reit (SGX: AJBU), Mapletree Commercial Trust (SGX: N2IU), Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U), Mapletree Logistics Trust (SGX: M44U), OCBC Bank (SGX: O39), SATS (SGX: S58), Sembcorp Industries (SGX: U96), Singapore Airlines (SGX: C6L), Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68), Singtel (SGX: Z74), ST Engineering (SGX: S63), Thai Beverage (SGX: Y92), UOB Bank (SGX: U11), UOL (SGX: U14), Venture Corporation (SGX: V03), Wilmar International (SGX: F34), YZJ Shipbldg SGD (SGX: BS6).

Therefore, an investor may need to consider to balance own stock portfolio, balance the slow growth / dividend stocks / REITs (Singapore, Malaysia, etc) with other global giant stocks (growth / momentum), including but not limited to 10 FANG-MAN-ATM stocks.

From the table sorted below for 10 FANG-MAN-ATM stocks, all are profitable (10 / 10 stocks were making money in businesses last year) with double digit ROE (except for Meituan which is still at emerging phase of business, focusing more on revenue growth instead of net profit. So, comparison for 10 giant stocks could be based on relative growth rate, eg. high earnings growth of Netflix, Amazon, Alibaba, Tencent, etc, have helped to support the rising momentum of share prices in shorter duration during the recovery from COVID19 pandemic with better business performance due to global lock down.

Most 10 FANG-MAN-ATM stocks don’t pay dividend (only 4 / 10 stocks pay dividend). Even if they do, for example, Microsoft with only about 1% dividend yield (need to offset 30% withholding tax, left 0.7%), is only a little bonus comparing with the high capital gains in share prices.

All 10 FANG-MAN-ATM (10 / 10) have Price-to-Book ratio ($ / NAV = PB) > 1 with premium over asset but this consideration is secondary for growth investing with asset light business. The ability to make more money in future is far more important buying cheaply (undervalue investing). Therefore, business growth is much more important than undervalue price to sustain the share prices with capital gains in longer term for technology stocks.

All 10 FANG-MAN-ATM stocks are high growth giant stocks, most of them are at moderate high optimism, mainly due to rising share prices, achieving new high after recovery from COVID-19 stock crisis. The main risk of high growth stocks are sustainable growth rate. Company such as Facebook is getting slower in growth rate due to global market saturation compared to earlier phase. 

Most FANG-MAN-ATM stocks are cyclical in nature, some of them (eg. Microsoft and Apple) have gone Year 2020 dotcom bubble when technology sector was speculated to extremely high prices before falling down over 50%.  Year 2020 and later years have potential to be version 2.0 of dotcom bubble when stock market is filled with greed to push up technology stocks (mainly represented by NASDAQ stock index) to another extreme high optimism level.

It is relatively safer to position with trend-following strategy either with short term momentum trading or long term growth investing for 10 FANG-MAN-ATM stocks. This would help to minimize the high risk if version 2.0 of dotcom may happen one day as next global financial crisis, especially in US with high optimism S&P500 and NASDAQ stock markets.

For retail investors with limited capital may not able to invest in expensive giant stock such as Amazon (over US$3000/share) and Google (Alphabet, over US$1500/share).  Recent stock split of Apple (1 to 4) has helped to make the stock more affordable to investors with small capitals. However, some investors may hope to form a diversified stock portfolio of 10 FANG-MAN-ATM and other stronger internet / technology stocks with limited capital.

A simple solution is to invest in Exchange Traded Fund, ETF (possible with capital of only $1000) with these technology giant stocks, eg. through Invesco QQQ ETF which follows NASDAQ Top 100 stocks (about 50% weightage are FANG-MAN stocks). For ATM stocks, possible to consider China stocks ETF such as KWEB or MSCI China ETF (MCHI ETF, about 40% weightage are ATM stocks).

It is important for a stock investor to have a balanced stock portfolio in various sectors (eg. technology, property / REIT, banking & finance, F&B, healthcare, oil & gas, commodity, etc) to minimize risk in each sector with unique market cycle.  High concentration of stock portfolio (eg. in 10 FANG-MAN-ATM internet stocks) would create high volatility which may be beyond risk tolerance level of an investor.  Knowing one’s personality is key for success in stock investing or trading, not simply following “tips” by anyone to take action.

===================================

There are over 1500 giant stocks in the world based on Dr Tee criteria, choice of 10 Dream Team giant stocks have to align with one’s unique personality, eg. for shorter term trading (eg. momentum or swing trading) or longer term investing (cyclic investing, undervalue investing or growth investing).

60 Singapore Electronics Technology Stocks (雷电交加)

Posted on October 11, 2020 Written by

Electronics industry has been backbone of Singapore economy for decades since independence. In the current internet era, demand for electronics related products has been increasing, supporting the share prices.  Therefore, an investor may consider 60 electronics technology stocks in Singapore, especially those with growing businesses.

In this article, you will learn from Dr Tee on 9 Singapore Electronics Giant Stocks for longer term investing and / or short term trading with impact of COVID-19 crisis. Bonus for readers who could read every words of the entire article, additional references on 5G related stocks.

1) Electronics Giant Stocks

– Venture Corporation (SGX: V03)

– Valuetronics Holdings (SGX: BN2)

2) Computer / IT Giant Stocks

– Powermatic Data Systems  (SGX: BCY)

– Ban Leong Technologies (SGX: B26)

3) Semiconductor / 5G Giant Stocks

– CEI Limited (SGX: AVV)

– Micro-Mechanics Holdings (SGX: 5DD)

– AEM Holdings (SGX: AWX)

– UMS Holdings (SGX: 558)

– Frencken Group (SGX: E28)

Electronics industry consists of many levels of products in value chain, from semiconductor to circuit boards to integrated electronics products.  Singapore electronics industry mostly plays the roles as suppliers or subcontractors for other international electronics products.  Electronics (especially for semiconductor) industry is cyclical in nature, stock is usually bullish with rising economy, bearish with declining economy.

Current COVID-19 crisis (雷电交加) does not significantly affect the electronics stocks due to the rising demand of certain electronics products (due to longer stay at home) and also support of 5G technology wave (especially for semiconductor related stocks). Most of the Singapore electronics technology stocks are at higher optimism level with short term trading opportunity while some stocks may even be considered for long term investing with stable dividend payment as passive incomes, which is uniquely different from US electronics technology stocks.

There are 60 Electronics Technology Stocks in Singapore (investor has to focus only on giant stocks for investing):

Acma Limited (SGX: AYV), Advanced Systems Automation (SGX: 5TY), Adventus Holdings (SGX: 5EF), AEI Corporation (SGX: AWG), AEM Holdings (SGX: AWX), Allied Technologies Limited (SGX: A13), Amplefield Limited (SGX: AOF), Asian Micro Holdings (SGX: 585), ASTI Holdings (SGX: 575), Avi Tech Electronics (SGX: BKY), Ban Leong Technologies (SGX: B26), CDW Holding (SGX: BXE), CEI Limited (SGX: AVV), CFM Holdings (SGX: 5EB), Chuan Hup Holdings (SGX: C33), CPH Limited (SGX: 539), Creative Technology (SGX: C76), Datapulse Technology (SGX: BKW), Dragon Group International (SGX: MT1), Dutech Holdings (SGX: CZ4), Duty Free International (SGX: 5SO), Ellipsiz Limited (SGX: BIX), Excelpoint Technology (SGX: BDF), Frencken Group (SGX: E28), Global Invacom Group (SGX: QS9), Global Testing Corporation (SGX: AYN), GP Industries (SGX: G20), Grand Venture Technology (SGX: JLB), HGH Holdings (SGX: 5GZ), Hu An Cable Holdings (SGX: KI3), ICP Limited (SGX: 5I4), Jadason Enterprises (SGX: J03), JEP Holdings (SGX: 1J4), Karin Technology Holdings (SGX: K29), Ley Choon Group (SGX: Q0X), Libra Group (SGX: 5TR), Manufacturing Integration Technology (SGX: M11), Maruwa Yen1k (SGX: M12), MeGroup Limited (SGX: SJY), Micro-Mechanics Holdings (SGX: 5DD), Plastoform Holdings (SGX: AYD), Polaris Limited (SGX: 5BI), Powermatic Data Systems  (SGX: BCY), Renaissance United (SGX: I11), Serial System (SGX: S69), SEVAK Limited (SGX: BAI), Shinvest Holding (SGX: BJW), Sunright Limited (SGX: S71), Sunrise Shares Holdings (SGX: 581), SUTL Enterprise (SGX: BHU), Thakral Corporation (SGX: AWI), The Place Holdings (SGX: E27), Trek 2000 International (SGX: 5AB), TT International (SGX: T09), UMS Holdings (SGX: 558), Valuetronics Holdings (SGX: BN2), Venture Corporation (SGX: V03), Willas-Array Electronics Holdings (SGX: BDR), World Precision Machinery (SGX: B49).

From the table sorted below for 60 Singapore electronics stocks, only half are profitable (33 / 60 stocks were making money in businesses last year). Therefore, careful choices of giant electronics stocks are critical, some are at lower optimism share prices due to either stock market fear or actual business is affected during COVID-19 pandemic. 

Most Singapore electronics stocks don’t pay dividend (only 23 / 60 stocks pay dividend). Even if they do, for example, Thakral Corporation (SGX: AWI) and CDW Holding (SGX: BXE) with about 10% dividend yield, are not good dividend stocks due to weaker business fundamental.

Many electronics stocks (36 / 60) have Price-to-Book ratio ($ / NAV = PB) < 1 with discount over asset but majority do not have high quality asset related to cash or properties.

For most Singapore electronics stocks, main strategy would be momentum trading or dividend investing, therefore business growth is much more important than undervalue price to sustain the dividend payment in longer term.

An investor has to be selective in investing or trading as many electronics stocks in Singapore are weak (buy low may get lower in share price due to weak business, especially in a bearish stock market), despite they belong to a promising electronics industry but the competition is too intense, only some electronics stocks could be profitable in longer term.

Here, let’s focus on 9 Singapore electronics technology giant stocks over 3 main categories:

1) Electronics Giant Stocks

– Venture Corporation (SGX: V03)

– Valuetronics Holdings (SGX: BN2)

Venture Corporation engages in the design, manufacture, assemble, and distribution of electronics related products.  Venture is a highly cyclical stock, not suitable for long term investing (despite very low debt with consistent dividend payment over the past decade, current dividend yield is nearly 4%) as the potential capital loss during bearish market cycle is much more significant.

Venture may be considered for medium term trading, especially after the share prices dropped to half of the peak prices over the past 2 years, currently recovering gradually from Covid-19 stock crisis with acceptable impact on its business. 

Venture is the largest market cap (but only a marginal giant stock based on Dr Tee criteria) among 60 Singapore electronics stocks and the only technology stock in 30 STI component stocks:

DBS Bank (SGX: D05), Singtel (SGX: Z74), OCBC Bank (SGX: O39), UOB Bank (SGX: U11), Wilmar International (SGX: F34), Jardine Matheson Holdings JMH (SGX: J36), Jardine Strategic Holdings JSH (SGX: J37), Thai Beverage (SGX: Y92), CapitaLand (SGX: C31), Ascendas Reit (SGX: A17U), Singapore Airlines (SGX: C6L), ST Engineering (SGX: S63), Keppel Corp (SGX: BN4), Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68), HongkongLand (SGX: H78), Genting Singapore (SGX: G13), Mapletree Logistics Trust (SGX: M44U), Jardine Cycle & Carriage (SGX: C07), Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U), City Development (SGX: C09) , CapitaLand Mall Trust (SGX: C38U), CapitaLand Commercial Trust (SGX: C61U), Mapletree Commercial Trust (SGX: N2IU), Dairy Farm International (SGX: D01), UOL (SGX: U14), Venture Corporation (SGX: V03), YZJ Shipbldg SGD (SGX: BS6), Sembcorp Industries (SGX: U96), SATS (SGX: S58), ComfortDelGro (SGX: C52).

Unlike US and Hong Kong stock markets which have more heavy weigh technology stocks, Singapore stock market depends more on traditional industries (eg. bank and property stocks) which are cyclical in nature, therefore STI is at lower optimism level.

Valuetronics operates in two segments, Consumer Electronics (CE), and Industrial and Commercial Electronics (ICE). It offers design, engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain support services for electronics products.

Valuetronics is a much stronger electronics stock with nearly no debt, suitable for both growth investing and dividend investing. However, the company share prices are at lower optimism level, mainly due to negative stock market sentiment with potential future business affected by both COVID-19 and US-China trade war.

Crisis investing strategy many be considered for Valuetronics, collecting dividend payments (about 6% dividend yield, preparing for worst case of only 3% dividend yield which is still better than 0.5% interest for cash despot in bank) during bearish market while waiting for rising share prices when market sentiment is reversed from negative to positive with support of better business.

2) Computer / IT Giant Stocks

– Powermatic Data Systems  (SGX: BCY)

– Ban Leong Technologies (SGX: B26)

Powermatic Data Systems manufactures, sells, markets, and distributes wireless connectivity products (related to computers).  Powermatic Data Systems is a cyclical stock, both in share prices and businesses, following the electronics sector cycle.  Over the past few years, businesses have been growing well, supporting the share prices to higher optimism level.

Powermatic Data Systems may be considered for mid-term investing to ride the rising wave of global electronics (including computer) industry.  However, the growth is much slower compared with other high-tech stocks, patience is required.  The company has low debt but long term optimism level is high, therefore not suitable for long term investing.

Ban Leong Technologies engages in the wholesale and distribution of computer peripherals, accessories, and other multimedia products in Singapore and internationally. It is the smallest market cap (also a penny stock) among the giant electronics stocks but having strong business fundamental with lower debt. 

Ban Leong is near to fair price, may be considered for longer term dividend investing (current dividend yield is nearly 6%) when optimism level is lower for share prices, helping to maximize the potential upside, compensating for the slower growth.

Besides Powermatic Data Systems and Ban Leong Technologies, there are other 28 IT Stocks in Singapore, making money with Information Technology (related to electronics industry):

Alpha Energy Holdings (SGX: 5TS), Alset International (SGX: 40V), Artivision Technologies (SGX: 5NK), Asiatravel.com Holdings (SGX: 5AM), A-Smart Holdings (SGX: BQC), Azeus Systems Holdings (SGX: BBW), Boustead Singapore Limited (SGX: F9D), Captii (SGX: AWV), Challenger Technologies (SGX: 573), CSE Global (SGX: 544), DISA (SGX: 532), International Press Softcom (SGX: 571), ISDN Holdings (SGX: I07), Keppel DC Reit (SGX: AJBU), Koyo International (SGX: 5OC), M Development (SGX: N14), Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U), New Silkroutes Group (SGX: BMT), New Wave Holdings (SGX: 5FX), PEC (SGX: IX2), Plato Capital (SGX: YYN), Procurri Corporation (SGX: BVQ), Rich Capital Holdings (SGX: 5G4), Silverlake Axis (SGX: 5CP), SinoCloud Group (SGX: 5EK), Stratech Group (SGX: BRR), Synagie Corp (SGX: V2Y), YuuZoo Networks Group Corp (SGX: AFC).

3) Semiconductor / 5G Giant Stocks

– CEI Limited (SGX: AVV)

– Micro-Mechanics Holdings (SGX: 5DD)

– AEM Holdings (SGX: AWX)

– UMS Holdings (SGX: 558)

– Frencken Group (SGX: E28)

CEI provides contract manufacturing services for the industrial equipment market (eg. printed circuit board, box-build assembly, semiconductor equipment, etc). CEI is also a Temasek stock.

CEI is cyclical stock, prices at high optimism currently, supported by rising electronics and semiconductor industry, partly supported by higher demand of 5G.  Despite it is a good dividend stock, the cyclical price behavior at high optimism make it not suitable for investing at the moment. The price trend is also too stable over the past few years to justify for trading.  A more suitable action could be “wait” for potential investors when optimism level is much lower in future.

There are other 5G related stocks which may benefit in shorter term trading, eg. Micro-Mechanics, AEM, UMS and Frencken. Trend-following strategy is required for trading of technology stocks as their long term optimism levels are at higher position, potential risk could be higher for longer term investors when semiconductor cycle becomes bearish in future.

Dr Tee has written another article with more details of these 5G stocks: https://www.ein55.com/2020/05/5-singapore-semiconductor-5g-stocks/

===================================

There are over 1500 giant stocks in the world based on Dr Tee criteria, choice of 10 Dream Team giant stocks have to align with one’s unique personality, eg. for shorter term trading (eg. momentum or swing trading) or longer term investing (cyclic investing, undervalue investing or growth investing). Readers should not just “copy and paste” any stock (What to Buy, When to Buy/Sell) as successful action taking requires deeper consideration (LOFTP strategies – Level / Optimism / Fundamental / Technical / Personal Analysis) which you could learn further from Dr Tee Free 4-hr Webinar.

Drop by Dr Tee free 4hr webinar (learning at comfort of home with Zoom) to learn how to position in global giant stocks during COVID-19 stock crisis with 10 unique stock investing strategies, knowing What to Buy, When to Buy/Sell.

111 Singapore S-Chip and Greater China Stocks (龙潭虎穴)

Posted on October 2, 2020 Written by

China is world No 2 economy, therefore there are many China business related stocks in the world (Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, US). The quality of China related stocks could vary significantly, including 111 S-Chip stocks in Singapore with 20% weak stocks are suspended and also some strong China stocks could double the share price in a short period.

In this article, you will learn from Dr Tee on 4 China related Giant Stocks which are efficient in making money with strong business growth in Greater China market (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan). Bonus for readers who could read every words of the entire article, learning unique strategy for each giant stock.

1) Singapore All-Rounded Giant Stock (S-Chip / A-Share)

– Tianjin Zhongxin Pharmaceutical Group (SGX: T14 / China Shanghai: 600329, 天津中新药业)

2) China / Hong Kong Giant Bank Stock (H-Share / A-Share)

– Industrial And Commercial Bank Of China, ICBC (China Shanghai: 601398 / HKEX: 1398, 中國工商銀行)

3) China F&B Giant Stock (A-Share)

– Kweichow Moutai (China Shanghai: 600519, 貴州茅台酒)

4) Taiwan Technology Giant Stock (ADR)

– Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, TSMC (Taiwan: 2330 / NYSE: TSM, 台積電)

After China joining WTO since 2001, it has opened up its door to the world, including many global stocks in different stock markets, eg. Singapore (S-Chip), China (A-Share), Hong Kong (H-Share), US (ADR), etc.  Greater China market includes China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, which is a fast rising region, attracting global investors.

In fact, reputation of S-Chip (China business with stock listed in Singapore) is relatively low as 20% of these stocks (24 / 111 stocks) have been suspended as of now due to various reasons, including poor businesses, not following SGX codes of business practices, potential scandals, etc.  This concern is also observed in global stock exchanges for other China related stocks in Hong Kong (H-Share) or even in US, eg.

From the table sorted below for 111 China related stocks in Singapore, only half are profitable (62 / 11 stocks were making money in businesses last year). Therefore, careful choices of giant China stocks are critical, some are at lower optimism share prices due to either stock market fear or actual business is affected during COVID-19 pandemic. 

Most China related stocks in Singapore don’t pay dividend (only 41 / 11 stocks pay dividend). Even if they do, for example, Hutchison Port Holdings Trust (SGX: P7VU / NS8U) with over 9% dividend yield, are not good dividend stocks (despite backed by Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong richest man) due to weaker business fundamental.

Many S-Chip stocks (81 / 11) have Price-to-Book ratio ($ / NAV = PB) < 1 with discount over asset but majority do not have high quality asset related to cash or properties. “Buy Low” may get lower in share prices, a common mistake by beginner investor to buy a stock cheaply (eg. at historical low price) without considering the business fundamental and economic moat.

For most local and global China related stocks, main strategy would be cyclic investing or swing trading, therefore understanding of business and stock market cycle is much more important than undervalue price or dividend payment.

Due to globalization, most of the 30 STI component stocks have significant businesses in Greater China market (eg. Wilmar, Hongkong Land, etc), although they are not commonly labelled as S-Chip (such as Yangzijiang Shipbuilding, YZJ):

DBS Bank (SGX: D05), Singtel (SGX: Z74), OCBC Bank (SGX: O39), UOB Bank (SGX: U11), Wilmar International (SGX: F34), Jardine Matheson Holdings JMH (SGX: J36), Jardine Strategic Holdings JSH (SGX: J37), Thai Beverage (SGX: Y92), CapitaLand (SGX: C31), Ascendas Reit (SGX: A17U), Singapore Airlines (SGX: C6L), ST Engineering (SGX: S63), Keppel Corp (SGX: BN4), Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68), HongkongLand (SGX: H78), Genting Singapore (SGX: G13), Mapletree Logistics Trust (SGX: M44U), Jardine Cycle & Carriage (SGX: C07), Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U), City Development (SGX: C09) , CapitaLand Mall Trust (SGX: C38U), CapitaLand Commercial Trust (SGX: C61U), Mapletree Commercial Trust (SGX: N2IU), Dairy Farm International (SGX: D01), UOL (SGX: U14), Venture Corporation (SGX: V03), YZJ Shipbldg SGD (SGX: BS6), Sembcorp Industries (SGX: U96), SATS (SGX: S58), ComfortDelGro (SGX: C52).

An investor has to be selective in investing as some China related stocks in Singapore are weak (buy low may get lower in share price due to weak business, especially in a bearish stock market), despite some may have a beautiful Chinese name or belong to a promising China market but the competition is too intense, only giant China stocks could be profitable in longer term.

Here, let’s focus on 4 China related giant stocks in 4 different stock exchanges (Singapore, Hong Kong / China, Taiwan / US).

1) Singapore All-Rounded Giant Stock (S-Chip / A-Share)

– Tianjin Zhongxin Pharmaceutical Group (SGX: T14 / China Shanghai: 600329, 天津中新药业)

Despite Tianjin Zhongxin is much smaller than other pharmaceutical companies in China, it is a little giant stock. It is an all-rounded stock with many unique characteristic, eg cyclic, growth, dividend and even undervalue. This implies an investor or a trader would have more options but need to choose the right strategy aligning with own personality.

The stock is currently as lower optimism level, possible for long term cyclic investing to Buy Low but requires years of holding power before could sell high, supporting by steady business growth, even during COVID-19 pandemic.  The company also distributes high dividend (about 5% dividend yield), suitable for holding but weakness is cyclic share prices may result in losses for shorter term traders, therefore trend-following strategy may be considered. The stock is listed in both Singapore (S-Chip) and China Shanghai (A-Share) with some differences in short term prices due to different market responses (eg. China stock market is relatively more bullish than Singapore stock market over the past 1 year).

Tianjin Zhongxin is a giant Singapore / China healthcare stock, much stronger than most of other 37 Singapore healthcare stocks in Singapore:

Accrelist Ltd (SGX: QZG), Alliance Healthcare (SGX: MIJ), Aoxin Q & M Dental (SGX: 1D4), Asia Vets Holdings (SGX: 5RE), AsiaMedic (SGX: 505), Asian Healthcare Specialists (SGX: 1J3), Beverly JCG (SGX: VFP), Biolidics (SGX: 8YY), Cordlife (SGX: P8A), First Reit (SGX: AW9U), Haw Par Corporation (SGX: H02), HC Surgical Specialists (SGX: 1B1), Healthway Medical Corporation (SGX: 5NG), Hyphens Pharma International (SGX: 1J5), IHH Healthcare (SGX: Q0F), ISEC Healthcare (SGX: 40T), IX Biopharma (SGX: 42C), Lonza Group (SGX: O6Z), Medinex (SGX: OTX), Medtecs International Corporation (SGX: 546), OUE Lippo Healthcare (SGX: 5WA), ParkwayLife Reit (SGX: C2PU), Pharmesis International (SGX: BFK), Q&M Dental Group (SGX: QC7), QT Vascular (SGX: 5I0), Raffles Medical Group (SGX: BSL), RHT Health Trust (SGX: RF1U), Riverstone Holdings (SGX: AP4), SingMedical Group (SGX: 5OT), Suntar Eco-City (SGX: BKZ), TalkMed (SGX: 5G3), Thomson Medical Group (SGX: A50), Tianjin Zhong Xin Pharmaceutical Group (SGX: T14), Top Glove Corporation (SGX: BVA), Trendlines Group (SGX: 42T), UG Healthcare Corporation (SGX: 41A), Vicplas International (SGX: 569).

2) China / Hong Kong Giant Bank Stock (H-Share/A-Share)

– Industrial And Commercial Bank Of China, ICBC (China Shanghai: 601398 / HKEX: 1398, 中國工商銀行)

ICBC is the world largest bank based on asset size, listed in both China Shanghai (A-Share) and Hong Kong (H-Share). It has steady business performance but the growth is limited over the past few years (transition from growth to mature company). It has attracted support of global funds including Temasek of Singapore as a major shareholder (8.4%).

The share price is at long term and medium term low optimism, could be considered for cyclic investing with Buy Low Sell High strategy but current bearish short term prices (sharp falling knife) could result in losses for a trader.  In addition, the stock pays consistent dividend in the past, currently dividend yield is about 7%, reasonable for passive income investor.

ICBC is a giant China / Hong Kong bank stock, much stronger than most of 30 Singapore Banking & Finance stocks in Singapore:

AMTD IB OV (SGX: HKB), B&M Hldg (SGX: CJN), DBS Bank (SGX: D05), Edition (SGX: 5HG), G K Goh (SGX: G41), Global Investment (SGX: B73), Great Eastern (SGX: G07), Hong Leong Finance (SGX: S41), Hotung Investment (SGX: BLS), IFAST Corporation (SGX: AIY), IFS Capital (SGX: I49), Intraco (SGX: I06), Maxi-Cash Finance (SGX: 5UF), MoneyMax Finance (SGX: 5WJ), Net Pacific Finance (SGX: 5QY), OCBC Bank (SGX: O39), Pacific Century (SGX: P15), Prudential USD (SGX: K6S), Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68), SHS (SGX: 566), Sing Investments & Finance (SGX: S35), Singapore Reinsurance (SGX: S49), Singapura Finance (SGX: S23), TIH (SGX: T55), Uni-Asia Group (SGX: CHJ), UOB Bank (SGX: U11), UOB-KAY HIAN HOLDINGS (SGX: U10), UOI (SGX: U13), ValueMax (SGX: T6I), Vibrant Group (SGX: BIP).

3) China F&B Giant Stock (A-Share)

– Kweichow Moutai (China Shanghai: 600519, 貴州茅台酒)

Kweichow Moutai is a famous Chinese liquor stock, also the largest in the world, surpassing Diageo (LSE: DGE) since 2017, mainly supported by high growth share prices. Competitor, Wuliangye Yibin (Shenzhen: 000858, 宜宾五粮液), is also an alternative stock investment option, having strong business fundamental but growth is relatively slower than Moutai.

Moutai is a strong growth stock in long term and also a strong momentum stock in short term. So, either an investor or a trader may apply “Buy & Hold” strategy, with timeframe following own personality.  The brand is a strong intangible asset for the company.

The liquor industry could be cyclic in longer time especially when there is any major change in China government policy, eg. about 10 years, due to anti-corruption campaign (eg. consumption or giving high price liquor as gift could be a common practice for decades), growth of Moutai Wuliangye was slow but start to gain momentum over the past few years.  In a longer term, premium alcoholic beverages of Moutai and Wuliangye would have sustainable growth, supported by rising middle class population in China with stable growing economy.

Kweichow Moutai and Wuliangye Yibin are giant China F&B stocks, much stronger than most of 48 Singapore F&B stocks in Singapore:

Abterra (SGX: L5I), Acma (SGX: AYV), Amara Holdings (SGX: A34), Bonvests Holdings (SGX: B28), ChasWood Resources (SGX: 5TW), China Fishery (SGX: B0Z), China Kangda Food (SGX: P74), Dairy Farm International (SGX: D01), Del Monte Pacific (SGX: D03), Delfi (SGX: P34), Dukang (SGX: BKV), Envictus (SGX: BQD), Food Empire Holdings (SGX: F03), Fraser and Neave F&N (SGX: F99), Hosen Group (SGX: 5EV), Japan Foods Holding (SGX: 5OI), Japfa (SGX: UD2), JB Foods (SGX: BEW), Jumbo Group (SGX: 42R), Katrina Group (SGX: 1A0), Khong Guan (SGX: K03), Kimly (SGX: 1D0), Koufu (SGX: VL6), Luzhou Bio-Chem (SGX: L46), Mewah International (SGX: MV4), Neo (SGX: 5UJ), No Signboard Holdings (SGX: 1G6), Old Chang Kee (SGX: 5ML), OneApex (SGX: 5SY), Pacific Andes (SGX: P11), Pavillon (SGX: 596), QAF (SGX: Q01), Sakae (SGX: 5DO), SATS (SGX: S58), Sheng Siong (SGX: OV8), Shopper360 (SGX: 1F0), Sino Grandness (SGX: T4B), Soup Restaurant (SGX: 5KI), ST Group Food (SGX: DRX), SunMoon Food (SGX: AAJ), Thai Beverage (SGX: Y92), Tung Lok Restaurants (SGX: 540), United Food (SGX: AZR), Wilmar International (SGX: F34), Yamada Green Resources (SGX: BJV), Yeo Hiap Seng (SGX: Y03), Zhongxin Fruit (SGX: 5EG).

4) Taiwan Technology Giant Stock (ADR)

– Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, TSMC (Taiwan: 2330 / NYSE: TSM, 台積電)

Taiwan is one of “4 Small Dragons” in Asia (South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong), also a strong technology hub, especially for semiconductor industry leading by TSMC, world largest IC chip manufacturing company.  TSMC is very advanced in IC technology development, currently the only player for 5nm technology, far ahead of competitor, Samsung.  With rising demand for 5G and internet related applications globally, TSMC has a monopoly of such advanced IC technology, able to sustain the growth with profits over the next decade.

TSMC is a strong growth investing stock and strong momentum stock, share price is doubled over the past few months, riding the wave of uptrend semiconductor industry and unique position as world semiconductor leader. The long term optimism level of TSMC is relatively high, more suitable for short term position trading to “Buy & Hold” with trend-following strategy, supported by strong business growth. 

TSMC is a giant Taiwan technology stock, much stronger than most of 53 Electronics stocks and 28 IT stocks, total 81 Technology Stocks in Singapore:

AEM Holdings (SGX: AWX), Accrelist Limited (SGX: QZG), Acma Limited (SGX: AYV), Adventus Holdings (SGX: 5EF), Allied Technologies Limited (SGX: A13), Amplefield Limited (SGX: AOF), Avi Tech Electronics (SGX: BKY), Ban Leong Technologies (SGX: B26), CDW Holding (SGX: BXE), CFM Holdings (SGX: 5EB), CPH Limited (SGX: 539), Chuan Hup Holdings (SGX: C33), Creative Technology (SGX: C76), Datapulse Technology (SGX: BKW), Dragon Group International (SGX: MT1), Dutech Holdings (SGX: CZ4), Ellipsiz Limited (SGX: BIX), Excelpoint Technology (SGX: BDF), Frencken Group (SGX: E28), Global Invacom Group (SGX: QS9), GP Industries (SGX: G20), Global Testing Corporation (SGX: AYN), Grand Venture Technology (SGX: JLB), HGH Holdings (SGX: 5GZ), Hu An Cable Holdings (SGX: KI3), JEP Holdings (SGX: 1J4), Jadason Enterprises (SGX: J03), Karin Technology Holdings (SGX: K29), Libra Group (SGX: 5TR), Manufacturing Integration Technology (SGX: M11), Maruwa Yen1k (SGX: M12), MeGroup Limited (SGX: SJY), Micro-Mechanics Holdings (SGX: 5DD), Plastoform Holdings (SGX: AYD), Polaris Limited (SGX: 5BI), Powermatic Data Systems  (SGX: BCY), Renaissance United (SGX: I11), SEVAK Limited (SGX: BAI), SUTL Enterprise (SGX: BHU), Serial System (SGX: S69), Shinvest Holding (SGX: BJW), Sunright Limited (SGX: S71), Sunrise Shares Holdings (SGX: 581), TT International (SGX: T09), Thakral Corporation (SGX: AWI), The Place Holdings (SGX: E27), Trek 2000 International (SGX: 5AB), Valuetronics Holdings (SGX: BN2), Venture Corporation (SGX: V03), Willas-Array Electronics Holdings (SGX: BDR), World Precision Machinery (SGX: B49).

In this article, you will learn from Dr Tee on 9 Singapore F&B Giant Stocks which are efficient in making money with food as essential products (consumer staples) but having mixed impacts during COVID-19 stock crisis.

– Thai Beverage (SGX: Y92)

4) Mixed Industry F&B Stocks

– Amara Holdings (SGX: A34)

– SATS (SGX: S58)

– Wilmar International (SGX: F34)

There are 48 Food & Beverage Stocks in Singapore, making money from the most essential products of people (民以食为天):

Abterra (SGX: L5I), Acma (SGX: AYV), Amara Holdings (SGX: A34), Bonvests Holdings (SGX: B28), ChasWood Resources (SGX: 5TW), China Fishery (SGX: B0Z), China Kangda Food (SGX: P74), Dairy Farm International (SGX: D01), Del Monte Pacific (SGX: D03), Delfi (SGX: P34), Dukang (SGX: BKV), Envictus (SGX: BQD), Food Empire Holdings (SGX: F03), Fraser and Neave F&N (SGX: F99), Hosen Group (SGX: 5EV), Japan Foods Holding (SGX: 5OI), Japfa (SGX: UD2), JB Foods (SGX: BEW), Jumbo Group (SGX: 42R), Katrina Group (SGX: 1A0), Khong Guan (SGX: K03), Kimly (SGX: 1D0), Koufu (SGX: VL6), Luzhou Bio-Chem (SGX: L46), Mewah International (SGX: MV4), Neo (SGX: 5UJ), No Signboard Holdings (SGX: 1G6), Old Chang Kee (SGX: 5ML), OneApex (SGX: 5SY), Pacific Andes (SGX: P11), Pavillon (SGX: 596), QAF (SGX: Q01), Sakae (SGX: 5DO), SATS (SGX: S58), Sheng Siong (SGX: OV8), Shopper360 (SGX: 1F0), Sino Grandness (SGX: T4B), Soup Restaurant (SGX: 5KI), ST Group Food (SGX: DRX), SunMoon Food (SGX: AAJ), Thai Beverage (SGX: Y92), Tung Lok Restaurants (SGX: 540), United Food (SGX: AZR), Wilmar International (SGX: F34), Yamada Green Resources (SGX: BJV), Yeo Hiap Seng (SGX: Y03), Zhongxin Fruit (SGX: 5EG).

From the table sorted below for 48 Singapore F&B stocks, only 2/3 are profitable (32 / 48 stocks were making money in businesses last year). Therefore, careful choices of giant F&B stocks are critical, many are at lower optimism share prices due to either stock market fear or actual business is affected during COVID-19 pandemic.

Nearly half of F&B stocks (22 / 48) have Price-to-Book ratio ($ / NAV = PB) < 1 with discount over asset but only 1 stock (Amara) has high quality asset related to properties which will be discussed further. Buy undervalue stocks require patience, Buy Low may not able to Sell High in future if there is no alignment with one’s unique personality and other consideration of investment. Buy low-quality asset simply at low price (very low PB << 1) may have high risk of bankruptcy if the company could not be profitable.

There are only 3 F&B related stocks (Dairy Farm, Thai Beverage, Wilmar) which are also listed in 30 STI component stocks:

DBS Bank (SGX: D05), Singtel (SGX: Z74), OCBC Bank (SGX: O39), UOB Bank (SGX: U11), Wilmar International (SGX: F34), Jardine Matheson Holdings JMH (SGX: J36), Jardine Strategic Holdings JSH (SGX: J37), Thai Beverage (SGX: Y92), CapitaLand (SGX: C31), Ascendas Reit (SGX: A17U), Singapore Airlines (SGX: C6L), ST Engineering (SGX: S63), Keppel Corp (SGX: BN4), Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68), HongkongLand (SGX: H78), Genting Singapore (SGX: G13), Mapletree Logistics Trust (SGX: M44U), Jardine Cycle & Carriage (SGX: C07), Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U), City Development (SGX: C09) , CapitaLand Mall Trust (SGX: C38U), CapitaLand Commercial Trust (SGX: C61U), Mapletree Commercial Trust (SGX: N2IU), Dairy Farm International (SGX: D01), UOL (SGX: U14), Venture Corporation (SGX: V03), YZJ Shipbldg SGD (SGX: BS6), Sembcorp Industries (SGX: U96), SATS (SGX: S58), ComfortDelGro (SGX: C52).

F&B stocks may not be defensive as not all the products are popular (eg. taste of food) and some may not have the right marketing (even restaurant with tasty food and/or low prices may not able to last if few people know). Therefore, selection of F&B giant stocks is different from selection of “Best Food” in Singapore or each country. In fact, it is possible for average taste or even “junk” food for some people (eg. fast food McDonald’s, NYSE: MCD) to be a global giant stock.

Here, let’s focus on 9 Singapore F&B giant stocks over 4 main categories:

1) Supermarket F&B Stocks

– Sheng Siong (SGX: OV8)

– Dairy Farm International (SGX: D01)

Both Sheng Siong and Dairy Farm make more profits in supermarket business during COVID-19 pandemic as most people would stay longer at home (cook more often at home) and need more consumer staples (using more essential products in daily life). However, share prices performances of both supermarket giant stocks are distinctly different with Sheng Siong at high optimism and Dairy Farm at low optimism.

Sheng Siong is mainly on supermarket business, therefore it is clear on positive impact of COVID-19 crisis, share prices dropped to low optimism in Mar 2020 during the most fearful time of pandemic, then quickly recovered and speculated to historical high prices, together with other COVID-19 related stocks, eg, glove / healthcare stocks: Medtecs International Corporation (SGX: 546), UG Healthcare Corporation (SGX: 41A), Top Glove Corporation (SGX: BVA), Riverstone Holdings (SGX: AP4).  These COVID-19 beneficiary stocks including Sheng Siong have been falling down from high optimism with fading of fear of COVID-19, therefore both stock traders (trend-following) and investors (price over value) have to take note, not to “Buy High Sell Low” eventually.  Sheng Siong may be considered when short term momentum is back (depending on the prices) or when there is global financial crisis in future (with low optimism prices again)

Dairy Farm has more diversified businesses within the Asia Pacific, besides Cold Storage, also has 7-Eleven, IKEA, restaurants, etc, which have different impacts during pandemic. Despite overall business is still profitable, the profitability is declining over the past 5 years, even before COVID-19.  In addition, Dairy Farm belongs to Jardine Group, bearish share prices at low optimism is aligned for all Jardine related stocks, eg: Jardine Matheson Holding – JMH (SGX: J36), Jardine Strategic Holding – JSH (SGX: J37), Jardine Cycle & Carriage – JCC (SGX: C07), Hongkong Land (SGX: H78), Mandarin Oriental Hotel (SGX: M04), etc. When market sentiment of Jardine Group related stocks is negative, they would take longer time to recover in stock crisis.  Dairy Farm may be considered for crisis investing with protection of consistent dividends (about 5% dividend yield) but an investor needs to have longer term holding power and able to control fear with falling prices in short term to medium terms.

2) Restaurant F&B Stocks

– Japan Foods Holding (SGX: 5OI)

– Old Chang Kee (SGX: 5ML)

Japan Foods and Old Chang Kee behave as if twin, IPO time was also close in years 2009 and 2008 respectively. Both stocks suffered during COVID-19 due to lockdown with less customers come to the food outlets.  However, the main issue is even before COVID-19, since year 2013 till now, earnings of both stocks have been dropping, result in bearish share prices with low optimism prices. Therefore, they are lower quality crisis stocks as business is affected (lower profitability for 7 years), hard for the share prices to recover significantly in short to medium terms.

Although operational cashflow have been improving over the past 2 years, this could be due to impact of IFRS-16 (new accounting principle) which categories operational leases (eg. rental of food outlets) as liability (therefore debt has been increasing over the past 2 years), may not be entirely improvement in business cashflow. It is important for an investor review with longer term perspective (over 10 years) and bigger picture (income statement, balance sheet, cashflow statement) with integration with share price performance.  When businesses of both stocks have significant breakthrough, the bearish trend in share prices and earnings may be reversed. Until then, they may only be considered for trading with trend-following.

3) Consumer F&B Stocks

– QAF (SGX: Q01)

– Thai Beverage (SGX: Y92)

QAF is famous of bakery brands such as Gardenia and Bonjour breads available in Asia Pacific.  The defensive business (eg. breakfast) has doubled during pandemic but share prices are not speculated as high as Sheng Siong, only at mid optimism level but it is a stronger F&B stock relative to peers. QAF may also be considered as dividend stock with consistent dividend payout (about 5% dividend yield).  See strategy in later article on how to eat Gardenia bread for free for lifetime (one may upgrade to better free food with improvement in investment).

Thai Beverage is an outstanding F&B giant stock, strong in businesses (eg. beers and spirit drinks in Thailand, Myanmar and regional markets) and low optimism in share prices.  The business is not much affected during COVID-19 but share prices dropped to very low optimism due to market fear, which is a higher quality crisis stock.  Positioning of Thai Beverage requires alignment with other stocks of Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi (Top 10 richest person in Thailand), eg. Fraser and Neave – F&N (SGX: F99), Frasers Property (SGX: TQ5), Frasers Centrepoint Trust, FCT (SGX: J69U), Frasers Logistics & Commercial Trust (SGX: BUOU), Frasers Hospitality Trust (SGX: ACV).

4) Mixed Industry F&B Stocks

– Amara Holdings (SGX: A34)

– SATS (SGX: S58)

– Wilmar International (SGX: F34)

Some stocks only have partial F&B businesses, eg. Amara, SATS and Wilmar. Therefore, analysis of these stocks require integration with other sectors with different business segments.

Amara is mainly on hotel related businesses, F&B is only a smaller segment of business (restaurants), businesses are badly affected during COVID-19. SATS has both F&B and airlines gateway businesses, the earnings from F&B has helped the company minimize the negative impact of COVID-19 to airlines sector.

Both Amara and SATS suffer low optimism in share prices but each has its own defense system. Amara has undervalue hotel properties which could still generate cash with fading of COVID-19 but it needs to go through a long winter time until vaccine could be developed for COVID-19. SATS may expand F&B business during the downturn of airlines sector. Therefore, SATS is relatively a better airlines related stock than Singapore Airlines, SIA (SGX: C6L), which has full risk exposure to COVID-19 crisis, even the recent rights and bond issues may not be sufficient, therefore need to reduce the staff size to save cash.

Cash is King for investor, also true for stocks in crisis. SATS has strong sponsor of Temasek with diversification of business in F&B, therefore chances of recovery is higher than the peers in airlines sector.  Some companies went bankrupt during global financial crisis mainly due to shortage in cash while making losses, hard to get new loan (high risk of default) with weak sponsor.  So, when investing in crisis stock with weaker business fundamental, an investor who wants to take calculated risks, need to consider the cash burning rate of company vs the potential duration of crisis (eg. assuming another 12 months for COVID-19 to last).

Wilmar is a commodity giant stock, mainly in palm oil which products include cooking oil in F&B sector. Subsidiary company of Wilmar, Yihai Kerry Arawana (YKA), is a major producer of cooking oil in China, will be listed in China stock market. The future stock potential of Yihai Kerry Arawana has helped Wilmar to outperform other palm oil stocks, recovering from low to mid optimism level. Palm oil prices have been recovering, combining with positive news of spin-off of Yihai Kerry Arawana, supporting Wilmar share prices. Wilmar is a cyclic giant stock, more suitable to invest during uptrend stock market from lower to mid optimism level.  Demand of palm oil would be higher with fading of COVID-19. Possible speculation of IPO (common in China stock market) of Yihai Kerry Arawana may also support the share price of parent stock, Wilmar.

===================================

If one could invest $2000 in QAF stock, would get about $100 dividend with consistent 5% dividend yield (higher if investing during crisis), enough to pay for $2 or 1 loaf of white bread per week (assume eat bread for 50 weeks in 1 year) which have about 14 slices (assuming eating 2 slices per day x 7 days per week), could enjoy free white bread for lifetime if QAF continues the business model this way. An investor may apply this strategy to eat in restaurant (eg. McDonald’s burger) for free for lifetime (if investing in a restaurant stock with consistent dividend or growth in share prices) or enjoy any drink (Coca-Cola – NYSE: KO, Thai Beverage beer, Starbucks coffee – NASDAQ: SBUX, etc), 1 cup per day, free for lifetime.  Similarly, a consumer could enjoy free healthcare service (hospital or dental stocks), free handbag or watch (luxury products stocks), free house rental (property stocks but need higher capital), etc.

In fact, most consumers pay for lifetime for the same products (foods & beverages) again and again, contributing to the growth of F&B giant stocks with recurring incomes.  When a consumer could reverse the role to an investor (as if a business partner of F&B outlet of interest), a consumer could make profit and enjoy free foods and drinks for life, with condition that it has to be a F&B giant stock, to be certified each year with Dr Tee selection criteria. For investors who are foods or drinks lover, may consider to invest in Top 10 global F&B giant stocks, diversifing investment over 10 different types of low-risk foods and beverages.

F&B giant stocks usually are cash cow with profitable businesses, therefore when share prices are undervalue at low optimism, may become target of acquisition, eg. past Singapore F&B giant stocks of Super Group (SGX: S10) and BreadTalk Group (SGX: CTN).  Singapore has less F&B giant stocks but there are some global F&B giant stocks which have strong dominance in certain F&B businesses, able to make money consistently each day for decades.

===================================

There are over 1500 giant stocks in the world based on Dr Tee criteria, choice of 10 Dream Team giant stocks have to align with one’s unique personality, eg. for shorter term trading (eg. momentum or swing trading) or longer term investing (cyclic investing, undervalue investing or growth investing). Readers should not just “copy and paste” any stock (What to Buy, When to Buy/Sell) as successful action taking requires deeper consideration (LOFTP strategies – Level / Optimism / Fundamental / Technical / Personal Analysis) which you could learn further from Dr Tee Free 4-hr Webinar.

Drop by Dr Tee free 4hr webinar (learning at comfort of home with Zoom) to learn how to position in global giant stocks during COVID-19 stock crisis with 10 unique stock investing strategies, knowing What to Buy, When to Buy/Sell.

Zoom will be started 30 min before event, bonus talk (Q&A on any investment topics from readers) for early birds. There are many topics we will cover in this 4hr webinar, Dr Tee can have more time for Q&A if you could stay later after the webinar.

Dr Tee will cover over 20 case studies, Singapore giant stocks, eg. CapitaLand Mall Trust (SGX: C38U), Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68), Keppel Corp (SGX: BN4), Top Glove (SGX: BVA), Jardine Matheson Holdings JMH (SGX: J36), Vicom (SGX: WJP) and many others, Malaysia giant stocks, Hong Kong giant stocks and US giant stocks, both long term investing and short term trading.

Posted on September 4, 2020 Written by

Between life and money, which is more important? In this article, you will learn from Dr Tee on 11 Singapore Healthcare Giant Stocks which are efficient in making money with life as an economic moat, while some surge in prices during COVID-19 stock crisis.

1) COVID-19 “Crisis as Opportunity” Stocks

Medtecs International Corporation (SGX: 546)

UG Healthcare Corporation (SGX: 41A)

Top Glove Corporation (SGX: BVA)

Riverstone Holdings (SGX: AP4)

2) Medical Services Stocks

Q&M Dental Group (SGX: QC7)

Raffles Medical Group (SGX: BSL)

Haw Par Corporation (SGX: H02)

4) Healthcare REITs

First Reit (SGX: AW9U)

ParkwayLife Reit (SGX: C2PU)

IHH Healthcare (SGX: Q0F)

There are about 37 Healthcare stocks in Singapore, a natural move for medical related businesses to get listed to leverage on capital from stock market for further expansion:

Accrelist Ltd (SGX: QZG), Alliance Healthcare (SGX: MIJ), Aoxin Q & M Dental (SGX: 1D4), Asia Vets Holdings (SGX: 5RE), AsiaMedic (SGX: 505), Asian Healthcare Specialists (SGX: 1J3), Beverly JCG (SGX: VFP), Biolidics (SGX: 8YY), Cordlife (SGX: P8A), First Reit (SGX: AW9U), Haw Par Corporation (SGX: H02), HC Surgical Specialists (SGX: 1B1), Healthway Medical Corporation (SGX: 5NG), Hyphens Pharma International (SGX: 1J5), IHH Healthcare (SGX: Q0F), ISEC Healthcare (SGX: 40T), IX Biopharma (SGX: 42C), Lonza Group (SGX: O6Z), Medinex (SGX: OTX), Medtecs International Corporation (SGX: 546), OUE Lippo Healthcare (SGX: 5WA), ParkwayLife Reit (SGX: C2PU), Pharmesis International (SGX: BFK), Q&M Dental Group (SGX: QC7), QT Vascular (SGX: 5I0), Raffles Medical Group (SGX: BSL), RHT Health Trust (SGX: RF1U), Riverstone Holdings (SGX: AP4), SingMedical Group (SGX: 5OT), Suntar Eco-City (SGX: BKZ), TalkMed (SGX: 5G3), Thomson Medical Group (SGX: A50), Tianjin Zhong Xin Pharmaceutical Group (SGX: T14), Top Glove Corporation (SGX: BVA), Trendlines Group (SGX: 42T), UG Healthcare Corporation (SGX: 41A), Vicplas International (SGX: 569).

From the table sorted below for 37 Singapore Healthcare stocks, only 2/3 are profitable (25 / 37 stocks were making money in businesses last year). Therefore, careful choices of giant healthcare stocks are critical, not just buying any healthcare stock with rising in share prices which may not be sustainable in longer term.

There are 1/3 stocks (13 / 37) having Price-to-Book ratio ($ / NAV = PB) < 1 with discount over asset but only 2 stocks (First Reit and Haw Par) have high quality asset related to cash or properties which will be discussed further. Buy undervalue stocks require patience, buying low may not able to Sell High in future if there is no alignment with one’s unique personality and other consideration of investment.

36UG Healthcare Corporation (SGX: 41A)6.7525.7
37Vicplas International (SGX: 569)4.367.0

Interestingly, none of the 37 Singapore Healthcare stocks are 30 STI component stocks but a few could be related (eg. Haw Par is related to UOB Bank and UOL):

DBS Bank (SGX: D05), Singtel (SGX: Z74), OCBC Bank (SGX: O39), UOB Bank (SGX: U11), Wilmar International (SGX: F34), Jardine Matheson Holdings JMH (SGX: J36), Jardine Strategic Holdings JSH (SGX: J37), Thai Beverage (SGX: Y92), CapitaLand (SGX: C31), Ascendas Reit (SGX: A17U), Singapore Airlines (SGX: C6L), ST Engineering (SGX: S63), Keppel Corp (SGX: BN4), Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68), Hongkong Land (SGX: H78), Genting Singapore (SGX: G13), Mapletree Logistics Trust (SGX: M44U), Jardine Cycle & Carriage (SGX: C07), Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U), City Development (SGX: C09), CapitaLand Mall Trust (SGX: C38U), CapitaLand Commercial Trust (SGX: C61U), Mapletree Commercial Trust (SGX: N2IU), Dairy Farm International (SGX: D01), UOL (SGX: U14), Venture Corporation (SGX: V03), YZJ Shipbldg SGD (SGX: BS6), Sembcorp Industries (SGX: U96), SATS (SGX: S58), ComfortDelGro (SGX: C52).

For healthcare business with strong economic moat, eg. having special knowhow or patents in medical solutions, limited suppliers of critical medical appliances, etc, would naturally be the preferred choice for stock investing.  Most people would choice life over money (eg. during COVID-19 health crisis, 生死关头) but if one could integrate both life and money through giant stocks, the probability of success in investing would be high. 

Here, let’s focus on 11 Singapore healthcare giant stocks over 4 main categories:

1) COVID-19 “Crisis as Opportunity” Stocks

There are 4 “lucky” stocks helped by COVID-19 crisis as they are crucial medical appliance suppliers, sales and profits surge during pandemic:

– Medtecs International Corporation (SGX: 546) – personal protective apparel

– UG Healthcare Corporation (SGX: 41A) – gloves

– Top Glove Corporation (SGX: BVA) – gloves

– Riverstone Holdings (SGX: AP4) – gloves

Their share prices have been speculated to over 5-10 times during COVID-19 stock “crisis” (which is an opportunity).  This is a form of positive speculation (strong business fundamental with share price speculated to very high optimism level), especially for Top Glove and Riverstone which have strong business performances even before COVID-19 crisis.  However, for Medtecs and UG Healthcare, both only have moderate good businesses before COVID-19 crisis,  the sudden high growth in business would not be sustainable when fear of COVID-19 has subsided in 6-12 months.  Stock such as Biolidics (SGX: 8YY) has even weaker business fundamental (losses in the past) but share prices surged due to speculation, traders may suffer huge loss if investing in long term for stock which may not have sustainable business beyond COVID-19.

Therefore, these 4 COVID-19 healthcare stocks are more suitable for shorter term trading as optimism level has been speculated to very high. Trend-following trading strategy may be applied to “Buy High Sell Higher” but when price trend is reversed, a trader would need to exit, even if it is a loss due to sudden correction.  If not, do not speculate, even these companies make a lot of money during pandemic. Stock market is forward looking, their strong business fundamental are already considered in rising prices. One day, when they could not perform as strong as now with lower demand (despite still profitable), the share prices would be corrected significantly, especially for Medtecs and UG Healthcare.

2) Medical Services Stocks

These are the 2 “unlucky” stocks which save lives or reduce pains but due to nature of businesses which require interaction with patients (how to cure without seeing the patients), business performances are affected, including share prices at lower optimism levels.

– Raffles Medical Group (SGX: BSL) – Hospitals

– Q&M Dental Group (SGX: QC7) – Dental Clinics

Both stocks have been growing the business through expansion locally and abroad. Raffles Medical has extended businesses to China cities (eg. Shanghai, Chongqing, etc), even before COVID-19 crisis, the share prices have been corrected due to ambitious expansion which would take a few years to breakeven in investment for new hospitals. During pandemic, Raffles Medical loses overseas patients due to international travelling restrictions. Similarly, Q&M Dental has expanded to be the largest dental service provider in Singapore, business has been affected during COVID-19 due to close interaction required between dentists and patients.

However, COVID-19 could only slowdown, not stopping patients from seeking medical help (saving life or tooth pains), therefore when fear of COVID-19 has subsided, both giant stocks would perform normally again, accumulation of demand (non-urgent cases, eg. medical or dental check-up) would surge and balance out in longer term business.

Since both giant stocks are at lower optimism level, they are more suitable for longer term cyclic investors with “Buy Low Sell High” strategy while collecting moderate dividends during the recovery phase (as if fixed deposit investing in a medical bank).

3) Healthcare Products Stocks

These 2 stocks have healthcare products which have no strong correlation to COVID-19. So, they could still perform normally in businesses during pandemic:

– Tianjin Zhong Xin Pharmaceutical Group (SGX: T14) – Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

– Haw Par Corporation (SGX: H02) – Tiger Balm and Others

Tianjin Zhong Xin is a highly cyclic growth stock (dual listing in both Singapore Stock Exchange – T14 and Shanghai Stock Exchange – 600329) with very strong business fundamental. It is more suitable for longer term cyclic investor, optimism is just recovering from low level.  Share prices in Singapore and Shanghai stock exchanges are aligned in general direction but sometimes one market could perform better than another (eg. China stock market is relatively more bullish than Singapore in current market condition).  Tianjin Zhong Xin is an all-rounded stock, also paying high dividend yield of 5-6% (depending on the share prices, higher if one could investing during crisis).  It is not suitable for shorter term trader or investor with weak holding power, buy low may get lower during bearish stock market, despite business fundamental is strong. 

Haw Par is not a pure healthcare stock as majority of revenue and income are actually on investment of 2 other stocks of Mr Wee Cho Yeow (Top 10 richest person in Singapore, UOB Chairman) stocks: UOB Bank and UOL.  Therefore, investing in Haw Par is an indirect investment of UOB and UOL stocks. With the current lower optimism prices of Haw Par stock with ownership of equivalent values of UOB and UOL shares, the main “business” of Tiger Balm and other products are virtually “free” for undervalue stock investors. However, patience is required for undervalue investing (owning high quality asset of cash from UOB Bank and properties from UOL). Haw Par has strong support of Singapore Giant stocks, UOB and UOL, all under Mr Wee Cho Yeow.  If Mr Wee continues to be the Top 10 richest person in Singapore, implying these 3 giant stocks are doing well in both businesses and stock market.

4) Healthcare REITs

These 3 stocks are special integration of healthcare with property sectors as Healthcare REITs:

– First Reit (SGX: AW9U) – Healthcare REIT with hospitals mainly in Indonesia

– ParkwayLife Reit (SGX: C2PU) – Healthcare REIT with hospitals mainly in Singapore

– IHH Healthcare (SGX: Q0F) – Sponsor of ParkwayLife REIT

Both healthcare and property are promising sectors in general for stock investing, therefore healthcare REITs (rental collection from hospitals as tenants) are defensive in nature as they could pay consistent dividend with long term tenant agreement (eg. 15 years), slow growth but steady. Therefore, they may be considered for longer term investing, crisis usually is a good opportunity to own healthcare REITs to generate consistent passive incomes.

However, stock has price component which may give surprises to investors, for example First REIT share prices have been corrected to less than 1/3 of peak prices over the past few years due to various concerns, mainly due to poor sponsor and customers (who owns Siloam Hospitals), Lippo Karawaci group which has cashflow issue due to ambitious property expansion in Indonesia. 

This concern of sponsor has resulted instability to other Lippo Group related stocks, eg. OUE Group.  Second sponsor of First Reit is OUE Lippo Healthcare, also not a giant stock, could not help much to restore the confidence of investors, worrying potential rights issues (nightmare for dividend investors, paying passive incomes, instead of collecting dividends). Despite First REIT is a giant REIT (even as of today) but this is a supported giant stock, mainly dependent on sponsor, main customer and major shareholder (multiple roles in 1). The immediate risk is cut of dividend payment (rental relief during COVID1-9 requested by sponsor) and also possible future rental payment for new agreements in Rupiah (about 25% of portfolio) in Year 2021, which could reduce overall dividend yield by 1/8 (Rupiah has depreciated more than 50% against SGD over the past 10 years in earlier agreement).  Based on current crisis price of $0.44/share (lower than IPO price), dividend yield is nearly 20% but actual payment could be only 10% due to rental relief.  Before a stock investor may enjoy 20% dividend yield, First Reit has dropped more than 20% share prices with capital loss in just a few months. 

So, First REIT is an indirect crisis stock, not due to the Reit itself (a giant stock) but more dependent on performance of weak sponsor. Current Price-to-Book is less than 0.5, rare for a Reit, even if sponsor goes bankcrupt, First Reit investor could still recover the share prices with selling of Reit properties.  The main concern is the REIT likely could operate normally (especially Siloam Hospitals and Lippo Group would perform better after fading of COVID-19 crisis) but short term to midterm bearish share prices could affect the confidence of investors who collect high dividend yield but also suffer huge capital losses.

Parkwaylife Reit is an opposite of First Reit, having a strong sponsor, IHH Healthcare (also a giant stock), therefore enjoying the stability with gradual growth under triple net lease.  Parkwaylife owns local properties which rent out to customer (Parkway Pantai) who owns profitable hospitals, eg. Mount Elizabeth Hospital, Gleneagles Hospital, Parkway East Hospital, etc.  When sponsor and customer and major shareholder (3 roles in 1) are strong, it provides stability to long term rental payment and therefore, dividend payment to stock investor of Parkwaylife Reit.

Despite Parkwaylife is suitable for longer term or event lifetime investing (if there is no major change in sponsor financial condition), it is crucial to buy below fair price, ideally during stock crisis such as COVID-19.  This would help to maximize the dividend yield. So, an investor may apply “Buy Low and Hold” strategy.  Value is what you get and Price is what you pay. Integration of value and price are crucial for investing success.

===================================
Choice of 11 healthcare giant stocks have to align with one’s unique personality, eg. for shorter term trading (eg. momentum or swing trading) or longer term investing (cyclic investing, undervalue investing or growth investing).

Dr Tee Family 100 Years Investing Strategy (百年树人)

Posted on August 26, 2020 Written by

Parents are our best role models for life including investing. Dr Tee will share in this article, both valuable life principles learned from his father (who passed away recently) and also a lifetime investing strategy with 100% success rate practiced by his parents, applicable in both stock and property markets.

Bonus is Dr Tee Grandparents Crisis Investing Strategy for reader who could patiently read the entire article. This investing strategy is proven over 3 generations of Dr Tee family over the past 100 years.

Many people hope to learn a “sure-win” investing strategy. For most practical considerations, there is a certain probability of success for each stock trading or investing strategy but rarely could achieve 100% success rate.

Dr Tee parents have a remarkable achievement to have 100% winning record in both stock and property investment consistently over the past few decades. This lifetime investing strategy may not be suitable for everyone, requiring alignment of similar personality as Dr Tee parents. Let’s learn the details here.

Some people may change mind easily, even for a good investment (stock or property), if the market prices fall down significantly, some may end up sell low with losses under tremendous fear. Alternatively, some people could hold an investment for long term, even over a lifetime but due to declining businesses, suffering permanent losses over time.

Dr Tee parents’ “Sure-Win” Strategy is simple but only if one could align with similar personality (work hard + take right investment action). Here are the 3 main steps:

1) What to Invest

For stock investment, Dr Tee parents prefer giant stocks from country stock index component, especially those with strong business fundamental stocks with good track record (both capital gains and dividend payout) over the past decades. 

Property (house or land with high quality asset) by default is a giant, therefore also a key option for their investment. Their main source of investment knowledge was through reading local newspaper investment articles and discussion with friends having similar interest.

This “100% winning” strategy requires support of a portfolio of giant stocks (reviewing giant stocks status yearly for possible change in business fundamental). Many giant stocks could be found in a country stock index. For example, these are 30 STI component stocks, could be a possible starting point for lifetime investing for an investor in Singapore:

DBS Bank (SGX: D05), Singtel (SGX: Z74), OCBC Bank (SGX: O39), UOB Bank (SGX: U11), Wilmar International (SGX: F34), Jardine Matheson Holdings JMH (SGX: J36), Jardine Strategic Holdings JSH (SGX: J37), Thai Beverage (SGX: Y92), CapitaLand (SGX: C31), Ascendas Reit (SGX: A17U), Singapore Airlines (SGX: C6L), ST Engineering (SGX: S63), Keppel Corp (SGX: BN4), Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68), Hongkong Land (SGX: H78), Genting Singapore (SGX: G13), Mapletree Logistics Trust (SGX: M44U), Jardine Cycle & Carriage (SGX: C07), Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U), City Development (SGX: C09), CapitaLand Mall Trust (SGX: C38U), CapitaLand Commercial Trust (SGX: C61U), Mapletree Commercial Trust (SGX: N2IU), Dairy Farm International (SGX: D01), UOL (SGX: U14), Venture Corporation (SGX: V03), YZJ Shipbldg SGD (SGX: BS6), Sembcorp Industries (SGX: U96), SATS (SGX: S58), ComfortDelGro (SGX: C52).

For different country, an investor may start with local stock indices with component stocks, eg. 30 KLCI stocks, 50 HSI stocks, 30 Dow Jones stocks, S&P 500 stocks, 50 SSEC stocks, Top 10 largest NASDAQ stocks, etc.  Subsequently, analyze business fundamental and other critical criteria for giant stocks. Here is a list of 30 Malaysia Bursa KLCI Index component stocks which may be considered for Malaysia stock investors:

CIMB (Bursa: 1023) CIMB GROUP HOLDINGS BERHAD, DIALOG (Bursa: 7277) DIALOG GROUP BERHAD, DIGI (Bursa: 6947) DIGI.COM BERHAD, GENM (Bursa: 4715) GENTING MALAYSIA BERHAD, GENTING (Bursa: 3182) GENTING BERHAD, HAPSENG (Bursa: 3034) HAP SENG CONSOLIDATED BERHAD, HARTA (Bursa: 5168) HARTALEGA HOLDINGS BERHAD, HLBANK (Bursa: 5819) HONG LEONG BANK BERHAD, HLFG (Bursa: 1082) HONG LEONG FINANCIAL GROUP BERHAD, IHH (Bursa: 5225) IHH HEALTHCARE BERHAD, IOICORP (1961) IOI CORPORATION BERHAD, KLCC (Bursa: 5235SS) KLCC PROPERTY HOLDINGS BERHAD, KLK (Bursa: 2445) KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD, MAXIS (Bursa: 6012) MAXIS BERHAD, MAYBANK (Bursa: 1155) MALAYAN BANKING BERHAD, MISC (Bursa: 3816) MISC BERHAD, NESTLE (Bursa: 4707) NESTLE MALAYSIA BERHAD, PBBANK (Bursa: 1295) PUBLIC BANK BERHAD, PCHEM (Bursa: 5183) PETRONAS CHEMICALS GROUP BERHAD, PETDAG (Bursa: 5681) PETRONAS DAGANGAN BHD, PETGAS (Bursa: 6033) PETRONAS GAS BERHAD, PMETAL (Bursa: 8869) PRESS METAL ALUMINIUM HOLDINGS BERHAD, PPB (Bursa: 4065) PPB GROUP BERHAD, RHBBANK (Bursa: 1066) RHB BANK BERHAD, SIME (Bursa: 4197) SIME DARBY BERHAD, SIMEPLT (Bursa: 5285) SIME DARBY PLANTATION BERHAD, TENAGA (Bursa: 5347) TENAGA NASIONAL BHD, TM (Bursa: 4863) TELEKOM MALAYSIA BERHAD, TOPGLOV (Bursa: 7113) TOP GLOVE CORPORATION BHD.

2) When to Invest

Dr Tee parents only have middle-class income from active jobs, which salary in cash would depreciate over time. When they got married about 60 years ago in Muar (a small town in Johor of Malaysia), both were having little starting capital. Since young, over 4 decades of working hard, they would gradually convert the cash saving into another form of “fixed deposit” through purchases of stocks (both private and public listed companies) and properties (houses and plantations), which could generate passive incomes (eg. stock dividends and property rentals, much higher than bank interest rates) and consistent growth with enormous capital gains. 

Besides regular conversion of cash into saving (spending very little on themselves, saving every dollar possible for family with 4 children), later into stocks or properties, Dr Tee parents would invest more during financial crisis, especially when they observed the stock index (eg. KLCI Index as they live in Malaysia) was at relatively low level or when there was special sales of house or land below the market prices.

Dr Tee parents worked very hard (like a habit) for whole life, even after they have retired, could not rest well for 1 day, must find something to do each day in kampung.  To them, this is their ideal lifestyle to keep busy (but not stressful) each day. Dr Tee wished they could be more relaxed but looking back now, this could be blessing in disguise as some retirees who relaxed too much, may age even faster.

3) When to Sell

Most of the time, Dr Tee parents would not sell stocks or properties, keeping them long term over lifetime, collecting both passive incomes (which can be used for family expenses or reinvest again) and capital gains. Sometimes when stock index or investment is at high optimism level, they would sell but most of the time, they would simply ignore them, keeping as “fixed deposit” which could compound each year for decades through stocks and properties. Apply this simple method of investing (buy stocks as if property for many generations to stay) on giant stocks, naturally the success rate is 100% over the decades, overcoming all the stock “crisis” eventually.

In a certain period of time for about 10 years, due to high cost to support 4 children (Dr Tee and 3 siblings) university education in US (ringgit was weak vs USD), they decided to sell significant private shares of palm oil plantation (with many times of capital gains). This was rare for them to sell properties or stocks to convert back into cash but children (especially education) are their most important goal in life. They strongly believe that knowledge is the best investment to generate more wealth (eg. with a better job) to support a better future life.

Dr Tee parents were working very hard, saving almost every dollar they could during this period, spending very little on themselves, saving and then investing mainly to provide additional financial shield for children. History seems to repeat itself, it is turn for Dr Tee to do similar planning for family with children. However, Dr Tee could still have reasonable spending (disagree with parents who almost did not spent much on themselves) as children should also work hard to enjoy fruits of life with own creation of wealth.  This way, the “shield” contributed by each generation could be compounded to protect against a major future crisis.  If not, wealth could not last through 3 generations with spending alone. 

Financial literacy could be the best gift for any young generation. Dr Tee is amazed that a few Ein55 graduates are as young as 14 years old (learning together with parents), could understand and apply value investing principles. With compounding return of many decades to come, knowing what giant stocks to invest, these young learners main goals would be to work hard and save more for capital to start the first investment of life one day. 

This “Buy Low and Hold” strategy for long term or even lifetime suit Dr Tee parents personalities.  Some people may not have patience to hold or wish to sell earlier for capital gains to enjoy life, therefore missing the natural compounding growth of giant stock or property, hedging against inflation.  To maximize the compounding over lifetime, one has to start investment younger. Assuming 50 years of lifetime investing (eg. 30 to 80 years old) with average of 10% growth rate, capital gains could be as high as 1.1^50 = 117 times.  Even with a minimal 5% growth rate over 20 years (eg. 40 to 60 years old when retiring), capital gains could be 1.05^20 = 2.65 times.

So, this “sure-win” strategy could be very simple (tested over 100 years with 3 generations) but could be very tough as some people may not able to make sacrifice in life (eg. not willing to invest in oneself to enhance knowledge in own profession or investment), simply wait for gift to drop from heaven (most of the time are speculative news, ending up with big losses).  So, heaven is fair, usually reward those who work hard and follow the right path of investing, even if one forgets about making money one day (eg. Buy Stocks / Properties and Forget), hidden fortune would appear naturally one day when needed.

So, the secrets of making money in investment is not to think of making money, just do the right proven actions, eg: investing over a portfolio of 10-20 giant stocks, buying more during financial crisis, holding long term, then the compounded return would come naturally one day.

My Father Story

Similar to investment, life also has its own cycle. My father (Mr Tee Ching Sin, 郑清森) passed away peacefully recently due to natural aging.  Over the past 10 years, this has been my biggest worry to receive unexpected call from parents in Malaysia which could be potential sad news.  The day still comes with expected call when I was halfway conducting a Zoom coaching class, need to hold my tears to complete the program as this is a commitment, a value shared by my father.

When I observed my parents have been getting older each year, I started to slow down the pace of my work or interest in investment education (used to work 365 days a year, 7 days a week, working nearly all the time), visiting them more often in Malaysia over the past few years. Each time when I said farewell to them when returning to Singapore, I was thinking could this be the last time we meet in life.

More importantly, my father has taught me many positive values in life (not just making money with investment), setting an excellent example with his whole life. Despite he has left the world, sometimes I could still “hear” his voices which is embedded in the subconscious mind (similar to Artificial Intelligence, AI). This is how a “spirit” or family value could be transmitted between the generations.

Similarly, I often use “Dr Tee” as third person narration when teaching investment knowledge to students or writing articles (eg. Dr Tee aims for “giant stocks”, investing when giant is falling during crisis, etc), hopefully this could help to form positive habits of investment in a faster way with AI into their minds when they hear “Dr Tee voices” in their subconscious mind one day.

This article is a special tribute to my father, a short summary of his successful life, not only with “sure-win” investing strategy and hardwork over lifetime, but also for his selflessness to think of family first.  It is a regret that there is travelling restriction to Malaysia during pandemic (requires 14 days quarantine), together with 2 other siblings living outside Malaysia, we join the online ceremony to pay the last respect to our father.

My father dedicated his whole life for family but reward little to himself. During his funeral ceremony today, I have shared my feeling remotely in Chinese (you may use google translator if needed) to him:

爸爸，您是我们心目中，敬重的父亲。

您的3个孩子，姐姐，二哥和我，身在海外，因为疫情的情况下，国家限制旅游，不能回来尽孝，我们庆幸过去与您保持密切联系，亲情永在，不限一时。

爸，身为您的儿女与亲友们，舍不得与您告别。

纵然您已离开尘世，浩瀚宇宙中遨游，您不朽的精神，将永远留在我们心里。

爸爸，多谢您一生无私的付出，栽培了我们四个孩子，海外留学，开阔视野。教育是您留给我们最珍贵的资产，我们也继承了您的精神与理念，与后代分享。

年轻时，为了给家庭增强经济后盾，您毅然放下教鞭，从事繁重的经商活动，过度劳累，透支身心。晚年时，纵然行动不便，您意志顽强，坚持独立活动，心灵手巧，甚至到人生最后一刻。

言传不如身教，您是我们的人生楷模。我们从中观察，学习宽容待人，刻苦节俭，不畏失败，活出自我。孩儿东渊记得，曾经问您为何不多花一分钱在自己身上，却慷慨帮助孩子们与他人。您说人生已无遗憾，家人安康就是最大的满足。

爸爸，请您放心，我们会照顾好妈妈。 您的一生是成功的， 无憾无悔，不枉此生。我们衷心感激您为家庭的无偿付出。

爸爸，愿您一路走好，我们爱您，永远怀念您。

Suddenly, I remember this old song by Taiwanese singer (高凌風 – 牽不住你的手, “Could Not Hold Your Hands”), now finally I could understand the meaning as he wrote this song when losing his father many years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQmQllux1bo

I was hoping to hold my father hands for the last time. I tried to appeal to Malaysia High Commission in Singapore by queuing up before 8am (hope to enter Malaysia without quarantine if pass COVID test in 1-2 days) but standard answer was to fill in online form (which has no option of funeral, mainly ask to sign to agree to pay for 14 days quarantine in hotel after entry to Malaysia with on-site test) and wait for reply which response time is not guaranteed. I sadly called ICA of Singapore for help (hoping there is some special agreement between 2 countries on travelling for special case of funeral, not just on businesses), standard answer is entry to Malaysia depends on Malaysia policy. So, the recent bi-lateral “Reciprocal Green Lane” may not have considered hundreds of thousands of citizens with close elderly family members in both countries (Singapore and Malaysia were 1 country before, hard to separate families apart with a political border).  COVID-19 crisis is not only a health and financial crisis, may also be a family crisis.

I am relieved that online technology (Whatsapp Group Video) has helped to lessen this potential biggest regret in my life. My siblings and I who are abroad Malaysia could follow entire funeral ceremony remotely in an interactive way, praying and talking to my father who rest peacefully, knowing all his children would get united again regardless of obstacles. Except I could not hold my father hands anymore.

I remember a unique subject studied in university time in US several decades ago: “On Death & Dying”. The funeral services are not just for the deceased, also for those who are alive to heal their wounds in heart. It is a way to accept and adjust to new norm in life without the loved one (switching connection from physical to spiritual).

Looking back, I believe my father may have special plan in choice of timing to depart us (knowing that I would try different ways to get there to see him for the last time). Perhaps this was his intention not to trouble 3 of children abroad, not to take any risk in travelling. If so, I may need to thank the authority with hard rules for helping my father to achieve his final wish to help family again.

Father, please Rest in Peace. The best way to repay your kindness in lifelong support is to maximize values of my own life which I promise won’t disappoint you!

Dr Tee’s Grandparents Story

In fact, Dr Tee parents also learned from their parents who have similar personality of working hard, despite low income but knowing how to invest to improve on quality of life. Dr Tee grandparents were very poor (not having any formal education, could only do lower income work) when first came from China to Malaysia nearly 100 years ago.

After many years of working and saving little by little, Dr Tee grandparents grabbed the rare opportunity of Japanese occupation time (1940s) to use life saving in “banana money” to buy a small piece of land with rubber plantations at very low price (a form of crisis investing during World War II), holding for 80 years till today with about 2000 times capital gains. 

Many people lose money in saving cash when Japanese “banana money” became zero value overnight but Dr Tee grandparents converted the cash (paper value) into land (high quality asset), therefore reversing the family poverty destiny, converting crisis into opportunity.  With the first foundation (plantation could generate incomes), they continue to improve family financial condition with more purchases of land with hard earned savings (but similar crisis of low land price was only once a lifetime).

Dr Tee grandparents success (hardwork with special help of crisis investing in property) has changed the future of Tee family (from poor to middle class). This inspired Dr Tee parents to follow similar track of working hard and invest when young (but extending from properties to stocks).  Crisis investing of high quality assets at low price is a high probability of winning if one has holding power.

Similarly, the success of last 2 generations has motivated Dr Tee to study hard (aiming for highest educational level of PhD), then work hard to achieve the career goals (climbing ladder till VP in corporate world, then CEO of own company after becoming financial free) and extending investment from long term investing to short term trading, developing an universal way of “Buy Low Sell High” with Ein55 styles of investing for stocks, properties, bonds, commodities and forex.

Dr Tee owes the current success (both personal life and investment) to contribution of 3 generations of Tee family over the past 100 years.  The same principles of life (work hard with simple life) are not just passed to 4th generation but also shared with over 3000 Dr Tee graduates and over 300,000 public audience over the past 10 years.

Even if you not Tee family member, could you duplicate this simple secret of success in life with “Sure-Win” strategy? Answer is yes but not everyone could do it.  A person must be willing to have a determination of working hard (or study hard in early age) for life, spending little on oneself, converting saving into higher growth investment with a portfolio of giant stocks or properties, investing more during financial crisis time, then holding for high growth over lifetime.

If you could read every word of this article until this here, you have the potential to be the first generation of your family to inspire future generations for another 100 years (百年树人)!
