I also have money in ETFs like HK Tracker. The smaller and more speculative investments have much smaller amounts allocated.<br /><br />That said, you are right in that following large stable companies which have the potential to grow dividends over time is probably the lowest risk strategy.<br /><br />The novel will take a while to complete as I won't be able to really get stuck into it until after I retire. <br /><br />Cheers<br />TraineeinvestorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25714039.post-3241739910288643122013-05-09T17:15:40.510+08:002013-05-09T17:15:40.510+08:00Hi again, having followed your blog for a while I ...Hi again, having followed your blog for a while I have to say I would be quite interested to read your novel when it comes out!<br /><br />Why not own more stable "good-for retirement" shares like Swire, China Mobile, Link, Hang Seng Bank, Hopewell etc? Some of your shares are slightly on the adventurous side for someone who will retire soon. <br /><br />CheersJ-Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25714039.post-84218889109818724312013-05-09T08:36:51.634+08:002013-05-09T08:36:51.634+08:00Hi

Among the planned activities will be part time study (already enrolled), writing a novel (started but very slow progress), keeping a very small consultant role and some professional committes for a year or two as a transitional thing.<br /><br />The full list is quite long but I have no intention of taking on so many things that I end up being busier in retirement than when I was working.<br /><br />Cheers<br />traineeinvestor<br /><br />Cheers<br />traineeinvestorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25714039.post-47219587588994086752013-05-08T16:23:10.750+08:002013-05-08T16:23:10.750+08:00Congratulations for being able to retire early.
