If I only invest in local stocks, is it fundamentally right or wrong?

Prominent blogger like ASSI AK and Dividend warrior, both are doing well by just investing locally.

There is no right or wrong way in investing.

There is no wrong or right answer to this.

But in general, I would say that US-listed companies as a WHOLE are fundamentally more solid in terms of future growth because they are more globalized. Think about your Apple, Google, Intel, Nvdia etc.

So the first question you need to ask yourself is: what kind of companies do you understand, analyze them, and decide if they are a good company - no matter is it local or overseas stocks.

Second question: are they run by great and honest management?

Third question: are they sensibly priced?

Answering these three questions will lead you to the right answer most of the time.

If you have more questions, I am more than happy to chat with you here.

My opinion. Dividends are for those who already has a huge snowball - sum of money.

The more money you have, the more dividends you get.

For example if you have only $1000 to invest, and divident is at 5% annually, it will be $50.

But if you have $1 million that is $50,000 annually.

I would concentrate on capital gains vs dividends if my snowball is not huge.

I am still working on the huge snowball. So I would concentrate on stocks with capital gains.

I would go for US markets for that, personally. As the volume traded there is much more compared to Singapore.

Just my opinion.

Lets together create that huge snowball!

You need to understand there is no true right and wrong.
Like what Warren buffet suggests investing within your circle of competency, your capability will tell u what is right for you.

If u feel adventurous, go ahead and venture outside of SG. The bonus is diversification
