Fellows VBer,
I must confess that I am a speculator and unlikely to be a 100% Value Investor! Sorry.

IRAQ War - this is when I started my stock market operations.

+++++++++++++++
I was working on my desk when my phone ring... (desk phone ok. at that time, mobile phone is giant water-bottle size Smile

"Good morning, can I speak to Mr Chia, please?", a sweet voice of a lady.
"This is Chia. What can I help you?", I reply.
"My name is Joyce. I'm the sister of your colleague. Last week, you had sign up to buy stock and I'm your broker.", nice.

Quote:I tried very hard to recall what happen last week.
Yes, during tea break, one of the senior engineer was distributing forms for everyone to sign.
This must be it!

"Yes, Joyce. Nice to hear from you.", I smiled.

"Chia," Joyce called my name affectionately.
"upstairs, everyone is buying Bejaya Group. You want to buy some?"

"How much is it?", I asked.
"25cents.", she said.

I took out my casio calculator and punch-in: 7000 / 0.25 = 28000.

"Can you buy 25,000 for me?", I said.

"Wait.... Ok, done. Thank you very much."

"Bye.", I hang up the phone.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Lunch time, I walk upstairs to meet up with the CE and boy, they are so happy to see me.
Everyone says that I'm a rich guy.
Nobody buy so many lots of share, let alone a first trade.
I blushed as I do not know how to or what to say.
When I look up at the TV (there is a TV mounted on the ceiling ) it broadcast the AA tracer firing into pitch dark sky and then boom... explosion in Baghdad.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++
The rest is history, in less than a year Berjaya Group take off and I unloaded all my shares at $2.50.

Lucky Lucky...
This is how I started what about you?

I started reading about dividend investing in 2009. Then, I got started. Big Grin

Wow... new bird...

If you're young, then you could be more aggressive aka adopt a more growth oriented style.

Why go for dividend?

Well, I think I am already quite aggressive, since I am vested heavily in REITs.

I believe dividend stocks can deliver decent growth too. Big Grin

belief is a very powerful word.

a glanced on your blog says that you are on the right track ... so far so good.

just be mindful that your timing is good...
resulting a wonderful pot of gold.

enjoy....
