We all want stability and to be able to sleep in peace.
So familiar are these companies that almost everyone would know most of them and are comfortable buying what they know. Who doesn't have mails delivered by singpost? Who doesn't use singtel or call someone who uses singtel? Who doesn't know capitalmalls and frasers malls? Who doesn't know Mount E is the premier medical centre?
and the list goes on.....
and notice that a lot of these counters have vested interests overseas, thus reducing single country risks.
Here is a portfolio made up for all the familiar brand names in singapore. very likey they will continue to exist for the many years to come
Each counter is worth approx $1,000. total portfolio value is approx $10,000

By february, the dividend would have hit a three digit mark. By May, we can start to compound!
Best of all, we don't really have to monitor this. Unlikely any of these counter will go bust any time soon.
This would be my reply to a retiree who asked me for help in investing his money in familiar stocks and want regular income yet dislike too much risk. I told him I am no expert financial adviser, but if I were him, I could consider the above counters. Of course, we should just check on our investments every now and then to see if there are any changes. We shouldn't be too bothered about price changes. Price goes up, don't be too happy. Likewise price goes down, don't be too sad. If too bothered about price, maybe the best place is to keep our money in the bank.
Anyway,...we have 8 months filled up with dividends.
Small money to some...but they can turn handy to a lot of people out there.
