it is a typical pattern for me.
Few good years followed by a bad year. Happened 5 times already since I first started investing many many years ago. The last time it happened was 2014. But I will bounce back with a vengeance when market normalised. Based on past record, within one year, I will surpass my previous high. And over next few years, I will further increase my portfolio substantially.
Throughout the years, my net worth has been keep on growing, according to this pattern.
It is a universe that you cannot understand

I think all these talks about sovereign risk is absolutely nonsense (not referring to DK66, as obviously he doesn’t think it is an issue at all)
People had been complaining about all kind of things about jaks since god knows when. From high gearing, to the industry they are in, to corporate governance, to potential frauds, to potential equity dilution, to execution risk, etc etc etc. But over time, one by one all these myths has been disproven.
Now finally run out of issues to bitch about, they started talking about this vague and broad concept called sovereign risk.
In Chinese, it is called trying to pick bones from the egg.
It is like a guy has a billion dollar in his bank account, in perfect health, has a super hot Wife, a bunch of wonderful kids. In other words, he is living a perfect life. But one day he decides to jump down from the building because he worries about climate change
Give me a break

Thank you for your opinion, Sslee.
I believe a lot of readers probably share your concern about doing businesses in Vietnam.
Sovereign risk is always the biggest concern when investing in another country. That is why you need to have enforceable contracts to protect your investments. Jaks Hai Duong Power signed several agreements including a government guarantee for its RM8b power plant project in Hai Duong Province. The 3 chinese bankers has obtained approval from the Chinese government to finance the project under the 1B1R initiative. Some will say "so What, look at mudajaya".
US and China are probably the only 2 countries in the world that the Vietnam government will bow to. I m sure you are aware of the following incident.
"HANOI/SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Vietnam has halted an oil drilling project in the “Red Emperor” block off its southeastern coast licensed to Spanish energy firm Repsol following pressure from China, three sources with direct knowledge of the situation told Reuters on Friday."
Hence, given china's influence on vietnam, I believe the vietnam government will honor its BOT contracts on the Hai Duong power plant project.
So, maybe it is worth your effort to take a second and deeper look into Jaks if you believe there is excessive profit from the vietnam IPP.
Vietnam needs power and willing to pay and China can deliver. This is bilateral trade, not free lunch.

Charlie Munger's Big Lesson: Prepare for Opportunity
What is the most important personal quality an investor can have?
Patience... followed by pretty aggressive conduct. It is given to human beings who work hard at it—who look and sift the world for a mispriced bet — that they can occasionally find one. And the wise ones bet heavily when the world offers them that opportunity. They bet big when they have the odds. And the rest of the time, they don’t. It’s just that simple.

@3iii
Not all great investors buy high quality companies
John Neff the cohtrarian investor invest in companies that did not do well so that can benefit when they turned around
Howard marks also like that
There are several others that did so
I think they know better than you when come to investing
