MervHoldings - 000

A short introduction about myself - As my name suggests, I am the kind who buys and holds a certain stock till I have a good reason to sell or I am being forced to. Due to this strategy, I have witnessed my stocks go down -80%+ in value but also in the other direction.

I am just 3-4 years into the market but I have started investing through Unit Trusts and Fundsupermart about 5-6 years ago. Now though, I am 100% stocks...almost. I am glad I was vested during the 2007 crisis; not because of the paper value that was lost of course, but due to the fact that I was able to experience the emotions and the lessons learned through such a crisis. It can teach you a lot about yourself, your risk appetite and basically, what type of investor you are.

Now, in 2010, we are in the midst of a slow but sure recovery from the Great Recession. All of my counters held in my portfolio are at least a year old...with my last trade coming this Jan.

Current holdings:

Capitaland (bought@$2.28)
CapitaComm (bought@$0.945)
CapitaMall (bought@$2.587)
CapMallsAsia (bought@$2.12)
CoscoCorp (bought@$3.188)
Kepland (bought@2.69)

...No, I don't work for Capitaland.

I have still yet to dabble in U.S. Stocks...but that time will arrive...

  2. Hmm...just take it as I bought 1 lot each. :)
    As for date, I need to check but they are bought from 2007 through 2010. Should be easy to figure out when looking at the prices...
