up 40% in three months
Another EUR 1000 coming back home from their 4 months trip to conquer me free stocks.
My “Free stock of the month” is an ETF. A nice one which replicates the price and yield performance of shares in the Brazilian market, as measured by the MSCI Brazil Index.
In June I had bought 30 of those . EUR 32.56 each. Total amount: EUR 979.75.
I bought 7 CEO CNOOC shares, late, hopefully not too late… October 13, 2009

I wanted to buy the Chinese offshore oil company CNOOC in March .I should have because CEO shares are 40% up now. Actually anybody should have bought about anything in March… markets are 60% higher!
Today I spent $1,028.37 to get 7 CEO shares ($146.13 each). If I had bought them in March I’d have 10 in my portfolio and some extra cash.
I chose this offshore oil company for several reasons:
1) China’s Economy is great. Not even the great recession could stop it.
2) Such liquidity may spur inflation. Oil is a commodity and it works as protection against inflation
3) Chinese car sales are up 80% from last year. I’m afraid there isn’t enough oil for all the World. Prices will go up.

It is surprising how stupid the Internet is sometimes. There is no way to find simple informations, like basic data for stocks traded on itnternational markets.
not easy to figure out data from ideograms
I don’t want much, just a place where I can find P/E ratio, dividends, debts earning growth and sales growth for companies traded all over the World.
So far there is no such website. Google finanace doesn’t give decent data outside USA. On yahoo finance you canfind something only if you start digging into places like yahoo. fr yahoo.it yahoo.es or yahoo.de, but you need some understanding of foreign languages. The real disaster is when you need data about Japaneese, Russian or Chinese comanies. Then you’re lost into ideograms with no hope of understanding. Anyway yahoo finance usually has very little data even on its internatrional portals.
The best place I found so far is msn . I could find some data on msn.es, msn.fr … and so on. At least I could spot p/e and dividends. The problem of ideograms is still there, but I don’t think there is anything better than msn available

I bought 1 share of BERKSHIRE HATH HLD B (BRK-B) 10 minutes ago July 15, 2009

The most expensive share I ever got: 1 costs $ 2,849.
All you get when you buy BRK-B shares
I hate gurus, but I had to invest on Warren Buffet’s BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY this time, because Buffet could exploit the crisys, taking advantage of tax payer’s money like we the people, the small investors, simply cannot do:
- He was able to lend money to troubled financial institutions at very high interest rates
- Those high interest investments are safe almost like US Corporate Bonds because US government decided that those financial institutions are “too big to fail”. Of course Buffet had talks with both administrations. He knew he could get huge interest rates and be backed by taxpayer’s money (more…)

VanceInfo Technologies is a Chinese software house.
A year ago I bought VIT because it was Chinese largest software house. I considered that fact as a great advantage over Indian software houses, which ended up losing more than half of their value in a year . Maybe I was right (link). Maybe I was just lucky to hit a well managed software house.

Why do I have an hard time suggesting a book for a novice trader? June 25, 2009
Posted by deminvest in Single stocks, investment, investment strategies, stock I own, stocks.5 comments
Yesterday Tjey, one of my 3 or 4 readers, asked me: “[...] if you suggest book for novice trader what book would suggest to read and why”
First reason why It is hard to me to suggest such a book is simple: I never read a book about trading. I’m actually not a trader. All I do is:
- read finance.yahoo.com everyday,
- check my portfolio loaded on finance.google.com which gives news about shares I own,
- read articles about Economics in regular newspapers
- distrust financial gurus, economists, politicians, central banks, CEOs, bloggers, funds, whoever charges commissions, myself
- think with my own head, knowing there great chances I’m wrong
- buy $ 1000 worth of stocks every month and (more…)
BBI Blockbuster. Once again… can it possible go further down? May 29, 2009
Posted by deminvest in my free stock.add a comment
Same stupid question we, the uneducated investors, pose:
Can BBI (or any other stock) it go further down???
Of course it can! One of the few things I have learned it that they CAN ALWAYS GO DOWN
I have 60 free BBI shares. When I got them (by my free stock strategy), it was a year ago and they were worth $4.11 each, form a total amount of $ 246. They went 80% down to $0.7 and are worth $40 now.
