For those who had read the CNBC news, this was the statement made by Warren Buffet last week. He did not reveal which were the companies that he had added holdings to. As per his statement below in CNBC, in his usual style, he never like to time the market and he would buy more when the stock price becomes cheaper.

In this part of Asia, we had our own problem too, just last week, huge number of protester started the 'occupy central' campaign in Hong Kong due to a reason that we are know and I shall not repeat here.

In the month of Sept, Hang Seng has corrected of about 9%, while the STI has a minor correction of about 3.5%. Based on any of the valuation indicators, these 2 countries are consider cheap as per the report by The Telegraph. In this report, it has an interested graph which shows where the countries stand. If you have been buying STI ETF as part of your permanent portfolio, does this present an opportunity?

Do you have the courage to be like Warren Buffet and buy into Hang Seng and STI?

Good read, I think the Hang Seng Index is pretty cheap at 11 times earnings. I bought some 2800 HK during the recent correction.
