Using Feb 14 2012 prices:

VICOM and Petra have done well.

Etika and GMG slightly out of the money

Wilmar hit with 15% losses.

Give them a few more quarters, since five years is 20 quarters.

How have your 5 stock picks done, coverup? I am thinking of my own picks for the medium term, and would like to share : Oxley Holdings, Sing Holdings, Hiap Hoe and Techcomp Holdings. What do you all forumers think?

Greek parliament approves austerity plans

The euro rose as Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos won approval from parliament for austerity measures to secure a second package of aid from the European Union and International Monetary Fund

Too many surprises will happen in 5 years to too many stocks, unless your stocks are rock steady and predictable businesses.

I like the Kim Eng list in : http://nextinsight.net/index.php/story-archive-mainmenu-60/912-2011/4372-d

Latest on Kim Eng Research's 'chilli pot' of hot stocks

This list is the 'get rich slowly but confidently' type.

5 years is not a long time for a long term investor.

I do not like Singapore tech stocks. For strange reasons, while Singapore companies have been innovative, they seem powerless in protecting their intellectual property and cashing in on their designs.

Its quite sad actually.

OMG, such a long-term investing period. In that case, Coverup, do you like Trek 2000? 

1. VICOM: Might be too highly priced and you have got to wait on corrections to buy in. A lot of analysis has been done on this stock, so you can easily find analysis on the web.

2. PetraFoods: Might be highly priced too. However, it is doing well in the emerging markets.

3. Etika International: Digesting from its earlier acquisition spree.

4. Wilmar International: Slowly, its assets in Malaysia and elsewhere will be injected into this company.

5. GMG Global: Turning into a China Stock. However, it has got a good growth story and markets to penetrate.
