read some where recently (can't remember where, was it ST?), a general guideline on the type of shares to hold in a portfolio. advice was to go by the percentage of amount invested, diversify into different shares such as 70% blue chips, 20% "semi-blue" (quoting Calculation) and 10% penny stock.
of course, the percentage depends on your risk appetite. if you high risk taker, maybe 50% blue and 50% penny stock, kind of portfolio. so no one is right and no one is wrong.
but i would think that we can go one step further to divide the 70% blue chips (for example) into 20% bank, 20% commodities, 30% property.
important thing is to go in with a well thought strategy and be consistent.
Personally, I don't quite like those stocks you carried in your basket. For a budget of $100,000 you should have put a higher weightage on blue chips or at least "semi-blue".

Your portfolio has no blue chips! To me quite risky. Mostly 2nd liners. Of course, if market goes up fast, your portfolio can grow very fast. But if doldrum, 2nd liners are subject more to downside, some can't ever recover.
My advice is put some to blue chips, even down, will come up one day.
For instance, during the financial crisis, i did not come out fully. My portfolio went down quite alot but fortunately mostly blue chips. So it rallied back now.
Just my op only. There are many ways. If traders, then they normally don't whole any, just in and out. If longer term, then hold but hold more blue chips.

Penny stocks, which recently surged, are now leading an apparent downtrend...
while the blue chips are still rising...

Thanks all for all your advise. My KS energy average cost of $1.40+ , cannot cut loss...
Previously bought capitaland, but sold off after some minor profit.
Hope all win $...
I think you should add some propery counters!
because when economy recover, property counters maybe will up a few times.

Any money left in the stock market is a big risk...
I used to be careless in this regard in my early days...
and I used to fearlessly leave huge amounts (few hundred k's, huge by my standard at least) without thinking about it.
But now I was jolted awake and know better... hehehe...

you are so frank, thanks! there are not so many frank people like you!
I don't think STI will drop so much! I think STI will go above 2700 this week. hold first, when STI get to 2800, sell some of your counters.
