Getting Paid While You Wait... Strategy Works!

I've been saying that equity markets are cheap and that stocks probably won't crash much when valuations are this cheap. Many of the people that I advised did not believe this and continued to pile money into bonds and bond funds. The yield has fallen to 3 - 4% for SGD and yet people flock to the security of bonds without much capital upside.

Below is a chart of all the funds that I've been positive about.
1. Schroder Asian Income has been up 14.3% YTD.
2. Templeton Total Return SGD H up 9.5% YTD.
3. AllianceBernstein Global High Yield up 9.1% YTD.
4. Aberdeen Pacific Equity SGD up 8.1% YTD.
5. First State Dividend Advantage up 8.0% YTD.
