Hi newbie here
Anyone investing in dividend stocks?
What would you invest in now?
Reits?
Business trust like rickmers?
Or private equity holding like transpac?
Thank you

K1 ventures is more private equity than Transpac.
Transpac was really dumb to sell Alibaba GROUP stake to Yahoo back in early 2000s.
would have made even more money than Hsu Fu Chi or Neon Neon divestments combined.

That is speaking from hindsight. At the point in time, if it had met their investment objectives and exited, there is nothing wrong. In any case, early 2000s is a difficult time for IT investments. You have a bubble and a burst back in 2001.
You can count on the greed of man for the next recession to happen.

No. I asked kin chan at Transpac at 2006 or 2007 AGM why they go sell alibaba. Said something like yahoo was buying so all VCs exit.
Sianz. My 5 baggers dream went up in smoke.

look for stocks with good cash flow and no debt
there are many small cap stocks in sgx that pay solid 5-10% yields and have no debt, just research hard enough will do ^_^

I prefer:
Predictable earnings, competitive advantage, FCF and yields based on long historical data.
Normally, IPO Companies may not have gone through the financial storms.
Those that have gone through the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and doing well based on data from 2007 to present quarter are still good except a few such as Otto Marine.
One is Super Group (formerly Super Coffeemix) and another is Starhub.
