3M of Stock Investment Plan (Hongkong Land)

3M of Stock Investment Plan Hongkong Land

Some investors may think Hongkong Land (SGX: H78) or any giant stock at 0% optimism is a no-brainer stock investment, simply buy now (Price-to-Book, PB ratio of 0.26 with 74% discount in price for high quality property asset) and hold long term for crisis to be over with price recovery, sure will make money with capital gains.

Above is half understanding based on pure “Method”. There are 3M to consider:

3M Investment = Method x Mind X Money Management.

Whenever any 1 of the 3M is weak or zero, entire investment plan would fail due to multiplication effect.

Let me extend the earlier sentence from 1M to 3M:

Hongkong Land is a good buy now at current price, if one is prepared to hold long term with contrarian strategy (including diversification over a portfolio of 10 global giant stocks) which is comfortable with one’s personality (eg. the person will not check share price daily, will not be sleepless each night when seeing Hongkong Land stock price may fall by another 50% in next 6-12 months). If the person is willing to lock the Hongkong Land stock share in a drawer for at least 5 years (only check the price and business fundamental quarterly), then probably near to the rare quality of 5% group of contrarian investors. The person would be similar to Warren Buffett mindset, able to take the finger pointing by others (eg. “you are wrong, should not buy, now is a bad market, etc”).

Let’s do a simulation of application of only 1M (Method). After buying Hongkong Land (assuming the same low price now with PB ratio = 0.26), assuming Coronavirus could be out of control in US & Europe in next few months, many death reported, global stock markets drop from current mid optimism to low optimism, Hongkong Land may fall down another 25% in price. If global financial crisis is induced due to weaker economy over 6-12 months, then Hongkong Land could fall down another 25%, perhaps the PB could be 0.26/2 = 0.13 then (more discount given).

If the person is very comfortable with falling in share prices (treat is as different degree of discount, no need to buy at the most discount with the lowest price) as main concern is to ensure asset value with business won’t be affected in long term. If there is a global financial crisis, it is possible for Hong Kong property valuation to drop 20%, especially Hong Kong property market is at relatively higher price or optimism level over the past 20+ years but it usually won’t last long in this way), then it is a good buy for this person, especially if the position of Hongkong Land stock is no more than 10% of entire portfolio.

Some investors may think if one follows exactly as the Method required (either long term investing or short term trading), then there is no harm to follow. However, once the person make an surprised loss (Mind Control is affected), especially over trade or invest in only 1 stock (poor Money Management).

In short, when finding a Method for stock investment, learn and choose a strategy aligned with own personality (many factors to consider), not just because it is a “sure win” Method. Due to mismatch of personality, this is why traders mindset may fail in investing, while investor mindset may fail in trading. There is also 5% of rare group which could invest and trade, having “dual” personalities, able to make money in both short term trading and long term investing. For majority of the people, there is no need to be greedy to earn all the money in the market, just focus on 1 way comfortable with oneself, be the master with years of practice with stock market experience as the teacher.

There are 30 STI index component stocks including Hongkong Land (investor has to focus only on giant stocks for investing):
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).

There is no get-rich-quick or sure-win investment or trading method. Each “Method” requires own experience with own “Money” through own “Mind” to convert into a skill which is repeated. Some may take more time, some may be faster to achieve this goal. The current stock market crisis could be a pain to many people but will be helpful in reshaping one’s strategy (经一事、长一智).

Apply probability investing in planning of stock investment or trading. High probability does not mean 100%, even cash deposit in bank is not 100% safe. A weak bank could go bankrupt, $1 Million deposit could only get $75k compensation. Risk tolerance level is also one of the “PA” (Personal Analysis).

For students before joining 6-day Ein55 course (www.ein55.com/course), they would do this homework (a series of psychological tests) to know their unique personality better, before aligning with the strategies later.

Stock investment is not as easy as it sounds but when one aligns with own personality, it would become a positive habit, as easy as breathing or drinking water.

Contrarian Investing Stock – Hongkong Land (SGX: H78)

Posted on March 15, 2020 Written by
Contrarian Investing Stock Hongkong Land

Hongkong Land (SGX: H78) is at 0% Optimism after falling in share prices over the past few years (especially over the past few months), very bearish (similar situation for other Jardine Group siblings of giant stocks – JMH, JSH, Jardine C&C, Dairy Farm, etc). Jardine Group of stocks are mainly suitable for contrarian investors (i.e. Warren Buffett styles) who only buy based on price below value, ignoring the falling knife of share prices.

There are 30 STI index component stocks including Hongkong Land (investor has to focus only on giant stocks for investing):
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).

Price to book ratio (PB) of Hongkong Land is around 0.26 based on my memory (presented in yesterday workshop), implying 74% discount of price below net asset value which mostly is property. This is the lowest PB or most undervalue stage of Hongkong Land history over the past 10+ years.

If one could buy a giant stock with 50% discount in high quality asset (property or cash), even the company go bankrupt immediately, still can make money as the person only pays for 50% of the value, could get at 70% of remaining asset when company go under liquidation.

Of course, Jardine Group with nearly 200 years of history may disappoint investor for not able to go bankrupt immediately (it is a game of patience), Hongkong Land buildings still stand firm despite Hong Kong protesters 1 year ago and current with Coronavirus or global stock market meltdown.

It is not easy to be a contrarian investor (Be greedy when others are fearful; Be fearful when others are greedy), one needs to have independent thinking (eg. many people point fingers at Warren Buffett for wrong move to buy airline stocks with falling in prices and businesses). Alternatively, one has to switch off all the channels (eg. social media, news, newspaper, etc) to prevent the noises. Investment journey is lonely, especially for this group of rare contrarian investors, only 5% of investors may have this personality.

Most investors are more suitable for trend-following trading or investing as it is human nature to investor making money, not making loss (even it may be for a limited period of time). Either contrarian investors or trend-following traders are fine, more importantly one needs to align with own personality, do not force oneself to copy another expert’s best method (eg. Warren Buffett styles), ending up regret for life as could not follow through.

Strategies for Great Stocks Sales (狡兔三窟)

Posted on March 14, 2020 Written by
Strategies for Great Stocks Sales

Over the past few years, due to high optimism (>75%) in Level 3 (US) and Level 4 (World) stock market, focus has been in shorter term trading / investing, as if carefully walking on thin ice. With recent sudden meltdown of global stock market from bull to bear market with over 20% correction, now there is more opportunity for longer term investor as significant discount is given for many giant stocks, especially for cyclic sectors (eg. bank / property / airline / technology stocks, etc).

We don’t have to buy stocks at the lowest price (not possible to time the market this way unless one is very lucky but even so, luck may once come once, speculative in this way) but we could buy at low enough prices, eg following discount in share prices below the intrinsic value. Warren Buffett is fine to buy “wonderful business at fair price”. If one could buy giant stocks with strong fundamental at undervalue prices (almost a steal for unfair price with fear created by market), then one should grab on the rare opportunity.

Similar as shopping, we don’t have to buy at the lowest price (best discount) of a handbag in a town because there could be always another competitor offering a lower price a few days later. If a buyer is hesitating (greedy to buy at the lowest or no deal), may end up not buying anything at all, when keep on waiting for the best deal with no clear ending.

Instead, define a discount comfortable to oneself (eg. 20%-50%) compared with regular prices, be happy with the purchase. As an investor, more importantly is to achieve a consistent profit over a longer period, not a cyclic performance (big win or big loss) in short term which could be stressful.

It is the same as searching process for life partner (potential husband or wife), one could not keep on waiting and hoping for the “best” as one may not have the time and luck, each opportunity missed, may end up a single for life. Some may have stricter criteria for boy friend or girl friend or life partner before settle down, this is personality based, but when criteria is too high, may not be realistic.

Luckily stock investment is easier than choosing a life partner. One could diversify the risk of timing into several entries or exits. For example, when stock market is falling to a desired low price (but may have further downside due to bearish trend), an investor may trigger the first buy with contrarian approach (similar to Warren Buffett styles) with 1/3 capital. When stock market has chance to drop to a historical low point (eg. low optimism of recent crude oil price, can be traded with USO oil ETF), then one has option to trigger another 1/3 capital. Finally, when market is recovering with clearer uptrend (but much higher prices than previous 2 entries), one may use up the remaining 1/3 capital. This strategy of capital allocation is best described with Chinese idiom of a clever rabbit with 3 caves to hide from potential enemy (狡兔三窟), similar to diversification of “timing risks” over a period of low or high optimism.

Unsystematic risks (eg. negative news related to business, management, etc) could be minimized with an investment portfolio of 10-20 giant stocks with strong business fundamental. Even one may have limited capital (eg $1000), may consider ETF (eg. MSCI World stock ETF) to diversify over 1000 global blue chip stocks.

At the same time, systematic risks (eg. black swans related to global financial crisis, changes in political economy – interest rate / inflation, etc) could be minimized with entry of global stock market at low optimism <25% (currently 38% optimism), exit at high optimism > 75% (eg. over the past few years). Apply probability investing strategy with optimism, instead of speculating in daily stock market, guessing what could be the next move of Trump or possible market responses.

In fact, over the last few years, global stock market has exceeded 75% optimism 3 times, creating 3 times of “wolf is coming”, currently the third wolf (falling down from 75% optimism) has become a mini bear with over 20% stock market correction, if market fear is not controlled over the next few months, resulting in real economy is affected (eg. lower quarterly GDP) or hurting other investment markets (eg. property), then it could evolve into a big bear, i.e. global financial crisis, which would have over 50% major correction in global stock prices.

“Luck” is an opportunity given fairly to everyone but only accepted for those who are prepared and ready to take actions when conditions for actions (Buy / Hold / Sell / Wait/ Shorting) are aligned with own personalized investing strategies or trading plans.
