Uniqlo

Just entered a buy position for Uniqlo CFD few minutes ago.
This is the first non-Singapore and US share that I own.
For non-Singapore stocks, my purchase lots are usually 1k instead of 3k SGD.


The enter price (blue line) was higher than what I wanted, at 35k yen.
Maybe I am eager as I have not yet purchased any investment for a long time.
But between my bought price and ideal price, it was a difference of around 30 SGD.
I also bought more than I wanted to, around 1.3k rather than 1k.
But it should be ok, as the transaction fee is high, and it is better than buying less than 1k.
I will buy another portion if the price drops to the next support level which is around 28k.


Financially, not sure how certain is it, 3 mths net income is already more than net income of last yr according to the above.
PE ratio is around 53. But as this is one of the titan companies, I am not really paying too much attention to except for the technical aspect.


Technically Uniqlo is still good value.
I say that from the perspective that the highest price point was at 60k in 2015.
It is a company I personally adore, along with Amazon and Google.
Most of what I wear today when I hang out comes from them.
The values they have are also the values I like. Simple and quality.
When I go to their flagship store in 313 orchard, it is always bustling with customers.
And I often see foreigners coming to that store and buying a big pile of clothes.
I also love the way they treat their staff and also social issues (from my perception).
The way they treat their staff can be comparable to Macdonalds.
So today I am happy to have a stake in one of the titans.

O and

Continuing from the previous post, Uniqlo too.

Titans

Amazon, Google and Facebook are titans of the world.
I have not bought any due to my principles in investing.
Especially the fundamental principle of buying a company at PE ratio 15 and below.
But I need the 3 stocks to alleviate my fears that they will take over and disrupt the world in future.
And owning some of them will hedge my future when jobs may be scarce, and best jobs will likely go into tech industries.
Amazon has the power to destroy many jobs, and if the company that I am working at gets destroyed by them, at least I am slightly part of it. Same for Google.

But not to get too carried away, do note that they may not be forever.
There are tech companies in China that may be even larger, more intelligent that might topple them.
So don't assume something forever. But if you are fearful of some companies at the moment, try to be part of it.

For these 3 special stocks, I need a different strategy.
In terms of my portfolio, I own small portions of Apple and Tesla, but in my long term view, they are not going to be as dominating and powerful as the 3.
Actually I do not really own Tesla and Apple, I buy CFDs from IG.

I bought Tesla as there was no PE ratio (negative sales).
But I believe in Elon Musk, and I love his vision of a cleaner world (I guess there are others that may have the same thought of cleaner world as me).

Apple I bought at the time when their PE was 10.
I bought after reading an article by the Tim Cook, which talked about a new circular office, and some sustainable future thingy.

The strategy for these 3 titans will be a mixture of my currency trading days and investing.
I will use the simple resistant and support line strategy, which I was using previously.
This time, it will really be testing my emotional control skills. And this is a trading which I really believe in and understands.
It will be simple, buying them when they fall to the previous support line.
I have drawn the resistant and support lines for the 3 of them, and currently none of them seem close to their support zones yet.
Emotionally, even though I am desperate to own them, I cannot rush into it.
I need to stick to my rules and strategy.
There will always be other opportunities to focus on, such as a better job or other stocks, as the world cannot rely on them only.
I may have to wait months, or many months, to be able to start accumulating them.
But for now, I just have to carry on doing other things. And meditate or something.
