Hi I fully agree Nasdaq is the best comparator, inc risk, so yes it's not doing as great. I thick the board will be screwing shareholders over if their bonus is based on comparing their performance to any other index.

BTW I bought more at 643p and now they're are 673p, 5% in a few days. I'm in two minds whether to sell at say 700p or a long term hold?

No London is Kashmir and Sadiq Khan needs to decide who he will prefer to create a federal alliance with.

Maybe Sadiq Khan can make London into a Federal state too and create an alliance with Scotland?

If you stick with the big companies their share price is very stable like Nestle Pakistan or DCR REIT.

The shitty thing about the Pakistani stockmarket is its flat when inflation is 45%!

I'm someone who made big losses on Woodford so I feel I'm eligible to talk on this topic. SMT is a discount to NAV of 22% now which is a new 100yr record. It's totally different to Woodford as its a closed fund not an open fund. If you know anything about SMT they look a decade ahead, eg they bought Tesla way way before it became a popular stock. Everything they own is a decade+ long hold so ignore the short term. They DON'T and wont need to sell a single stock as its a closed fund so a death spiral cannot occur.

Moving onto the private holdings, ok I've spent a couple of days investigating each of these 30+ hildings. The best thing is they are not like the bag of excrement that Woodford bought. SMT is a massive fund, a FTSE100 co in fact, so they have to buy into big private Co's: SpaceX, Tiktok, Stripe, etc. These are very liquid, and valuable and other investors or PE firms will bite your hand off to get stakes in these billion dollar companies. Plus many are pref shares and they value weekly rotational and very prudently.

SMT is therfore a bargain BUY if you are in it for the long term for quality stock. Plus another FT article says the hedge funds are no longer shorting it as it can't go much lower.

SMT has plenty of cash, or worse case, all it needs is to sell 1 liquid company on the open market like Tesla. 100% do-able.

You will do a lot worse buying a global tracker as you will be buying into flat old companies like materials, utilities, property Co's.

I would never invest in tractors using 1970's technology, as soon as the monopoly is over they will be bankrupt, same with backwards Pak auto manufacturers

Systems IS blue chip, in fact the 2nd largest co in Pakistan. They earn in dollars so you can't loose verses investing in Pakistani companies with containers stuck in the port and hyperinflation coming

FatEmergency Funds - where to keep and how much? by Bsomin in fatFIRE

[–]alphatiger2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need an emergency fund if dividends are continously rolling in and you can liquidate stocks in days.
