2009 Stock Investment Review

Yeah… 2009 was a very good year for investment no matter in stock market or unit trust. The bull had been running from March until end of the year. It was a little bit flat at the end but up a lot in overall during year 2009.


FBM KLCI 2009 performance

Wow… I started to invest in stock market back in middle of year 2006. Lost lot of money until end of year 2008. Invested in some ‘dangerous’ stocks (gain fast & lose fast). Bought called warrants too. Whenever I look back those years, I laugh. How silly am I back then?

I started to invest late in year 2009. And set target to earn RM 20k in stock market that year. And I achieved it. However, it just managed to cover past few years losses. So year 2010 is a new start for stock investment. I paid lot of education fee and it’s time to gain it back.

What did I do in year 2009 compare to year 2006-2008? I studied stock research firm reports. Be aware of the current economy trend. I selected recommended stock to invest. I did my own analysis of course rather than follow research report blindly. I did not ‘play’ called warrant anymore. And invest in high dividend stock only. Focus on less than 10 stocks only like Tanjong PLC, Mudajaya and IOICorp… By the way, I did lend some money by using stock margin facility. It helped me to buy stock even that I did not have such amount of money. Else I could not reach my year 2009 target.

Looking forward ~ year 2010. This is not a smooth year to invest. Most of the stock price already reached the fair value in year 2009. But it is not impossible to make money this year. So I set another high target for me ~ RM 30k. Let’s fight for it. :)

JayceOoi.com 2009 Performance Review

Time flied… Year 2009 had become history. A bright new year 2010 is in front of us. Let’s us fight for our future. And review our performance in the past…

There was a spike in traffic during January to March 2009 because I changed the Google Analytics code to header from footer (You can have more traffic this way because some visitors did not wait until your page to finish loading and left).

611,650 visits in year 2009 ~ 213.97% increased from year 2008. And broke 1 million pageviews ~ 1,029,483 pageviews (195.80% increased from year 2008).

Year 2010 will be a better year. And target to have more than 5000 daily visitors and Google PageRank 5 (PR4 at least, now still PR3). Okay, let’s fight for it. ;)

Is December good time to invest in stock market? That’s the question that I ask myself lately. I did not buy any stock after selling Tanjong plc stock last month. And plan to buy back it again now. But when is the question. Therefore, I did some research on the previous years’ performance on the month of December. Let’s see the history speak for itself. Anyway, past historical record does not mean that it will perform as same as before. Stock market is not predictable. But you can know it better by studying more.

Mistake that I made in stock market…

Everybody make mistakes. That’s no a problem. But knowing it and without rectify it. Then it will be a problem. I thought stock market will rally until end of October 2009. However, it did not. Both of the stocks INTC and Tanjong that I target were flat in October. Just like Maybank Investment Bank asked traders to sell on 5 October 2009, a wrong prediction. Anyway, it is hard to predict stock market. And investor should not buy stock based on prediction but on the stock value itself.

INTC_October
INTC October 2009 performance

There are 2 important dates in October for INTC. One is the quarterly report announcement and the second one is employee stock option exchange date. I predicted there will be spike in price on both of the dates. But I was only correct on the first one. And wrong on the other ~ it is good for Intel employees because of the low stock option exchange price. But not for me who want to sell at USD22.50. Hmm… I have to keep it for another 3 months again.

Tanjong_October
Tanjong PLC October 2009 performance

Same apply to Tanjong PLC. Its 1H net profit increased 10.4% to 372.941 million. And it should be able to climb back to RM16.00 easily. But it failed to do so in October 2009. Luckily, I still have the dividend of 17.5 cents. Else, I will end up earning nothing for October 2009.
