Ten Investment Ideas 2009

Came across this article from The Edge Singapore and find it very interesting to share with readers. Bargain hunters looking for the best investment deals in the markets have another alternative ideas

1) Investment-grade credits - best bets in bond asset class

2) Cheap value in inflation-linked bonds

3) Stay in defensive equity sectors, avoid finanicals and cyclicals

4) Overweight on Asia ex-japan stocks in 2H2008

5) Bet on China and Hong Kong stockes to outperform

6) Focus on recession winners eg like Capitamall Trust,
ICBC, Bank of China, Ascendas REIT, Keppel Corp,
Sembcorp Industries, Taiwan Mobile etc

7) Stick with high-dividend paying stocks

8) Have gold in your investment portfolio

9) Take a look at soft commodities, seeing support level.

10) Hedge Fund strategy - Global macro and managed futures could do well
