Saw this table of the biggest companies by decade tweeted recently. The lists of companies and theme summary titles of each decade are too good not to save and share – will be very keen to see what these companies are in 2030!
Some of the most boring, but most useful posts on this website are simple, static lists of stocks with ready-to-click links to more information on them. Today, I wanted to run an updated list of HKEX-listed stocks with links to their dividend histories on AAStocks, and to some fundamental ratios on their Reuters pages. The […]
“Dividend Aristocrats” typically refer to stocks that have consistently paid and raised their dividends for many years, often 25 or more. This list of US dividend aristocrats comes straight from the holdings of the ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Dividend ETF “NOBL“, which also ranked in my earlier list of top S&P 500 ETFs. The […]
I have long argued that the S&P 500 is an overrated, overused stock market index benchmark, while also admitting it is still one of the best constructed and balanced benchmarks globally. By comparison, the flagship benchmarks of Hong Kong, Canada, Australia, Singapore, and other countries tend to be far more lopsided with industry concentrations in […]
Retire Inspired author Chris Hogan recently recorded a noteworthy podcast and YouTube episode (embedded below) titled “11 things millionaires don’t invest in”. I agree with him on over half of these, so wanted to list them out below with my comments. Note that I am not addressing these in order, but rather starting with his […]
In my last post, I listed over 500 real estate investment trusts (REITs) by sector (office, retail, residential, hospitals, etc.). I felt another valuable organization of a REIT list would be to instead sort the top international REITs by country, then by market cap, rather than alphabetically across countries. By “International REITs”, I mean REITs […]
Updating my series of handy reference lists is this REIT List covering four major markets in the Asia-Pacific Region. Following my earlier posted lists of S-REITs, H-REITs, J-REITs, and A-REITs, that is, real estate investment trusts listed in Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, and Australia, the below lists are meant to be a handy reference in […]
Here is an updated watchlist of US ETFs I post mostly for my own quick reference, with links to Bing search, Fidelity, Morningstar, and SeekingAlpha information each one click away. All-world Global Benchmark ETFs ACWF (Morningstar, Fidelity, SeekingAlpha) VT (Morningstar, Fidelity, SeekingAlpha) ACWI (Morningstar, Fidelity, SeekingAlpha) ACIM (Morningstar, Fidelity, SeekingAlpha) Bond and REIT ETFs BND […]
One of the worst mistakes beginning investors often make is to try and choose top performing mutual funds based solely on past performance. While past performance can be a useful indicator of how a fund invests and what it invests in (high risk and return vs low risk and return), it is all too often […]
The mutual fund as we know it today is almost 100 years old, and following important steps in 1934 and 1940 and then in 1974, mutual funds can be thanked for helping a large percentage of average working individuals save trillions of dollars for retirement in ways pre 20th century history might not have imagined.
