Lessons Learned in Indonesia Stock Investment

Let's talk about stock trading, I think this is the best time to talk about stock.
As you know, I've start this stock investment in March 2008. So far, I've made 15-20% Profit from this investment and I also have cash my profit.

But, in this October market crash, I have estimated 60% potential loss. My potential loss is mainly on Bakrie & Brothers. Then, what lesson I've learned from this Indonesia Stock market bullish and bearish time.

1. Always prepare your additional cost-averaging budget
In order to prepare the crash time, always prepare your additioal budget to make cost averaging.

2. Always invest on market leader stock
For example INDF and UNVR in consumer goods, AALI and LSIP in CPO or BUMI and PTBA in Coal.

3. Count your ROI based on dividend
Count your ROI based on Stock's dividend in the last following years, make it last 3 to 5 years.

4. Buy the stock on its low price
Don't buy stock in its highest price, buy it on its lowest price. See the stock trends in following 2-3 years and see its lowest price in every years.

5. Trust your self
Always trust on your own analysis, just make the information given by mailing list or your broker as additional information.

Dividend Elnusa

Another dividend pay date :)

After bought Elnusa shares last month, I received Elnusa dividend this month.
Not much though, but as an investor, Elnusa proved that their company is in perfect shape.
Start IPO just early in this year,
but Elnusa already pay their shareholder with mid year dividend.

This is the screenshot captured in my online trading tools.

INCO Dividend Pay Date

It is the dividend time, after buy the stock on march, then it is time for the pay date :D

There's some tips for you (stock investor) that aiming for the devidend, such as:

1. Find the information on cum date for company that share the cash devidend, INCO set the cum date for March, information could be found in the corporate official website
2. Buy the stock before the cum date, the pay date for devidend it self will be around 1-2 months after the cum date
3. Focus on the growing sector that booming last year, for example mining and CPO, rather than telecommunication
   

Here's the pics, not much, but it is enough to bring on the excitement.
