  Already achieved a lot more than what is possible to other people.

  Enjoy your new home! :)

• Hi pf,
  Thanks for cheering me on :-). Have you bought your home yet ?

• I think you already have a very impressive report card for 2014. Keep going and keep growing..

• Hi Richard,
  Thanks for the encouragement. In corporate terms, didn't meet target means didn't meet target ;-p. Hahaha.
  BTW, your Penang trip looks awesome, Penang is now on my target destination thanks to your blogpost. Think you can start venturing into travel blogging ;-p.

• Hi Lady,

  I am sure your new place will turn out awesome.

  Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!

• Hi Derek,
  Keep fingers crossed about my new place :). Have many nightmares shortlisting and communicating with Interior Designers. Merry Christmas and a Fabulous New Year to you and your family !

• Nice report card. Already way above average investors. My report card in the red this year cos trusted my "sifu" too much cos 6 figures loss. Very long never compile my portfolio liao and should be motivated like you to do it monthly. Keep it up!

  Now I only can Wish all of us have good teamwork synergy and ride through 2015 market with good profits. Huat ah

• Hi Freddy,
  I also have one really red one staring at me ! :-/. Let's all Huat for the new year !! :)

• Little Red Dot. Okay lah. It won't hurt Lady much.

• Hi CreateWealth8888,
  :-). U very cute. Happy New Year !

• Happy New Year to Lady!

  Your Little Red Dot may also teach us investing lesson that we cannot just follow our favorite blogger's investing strategy.

  Their timing of Entries has been good for them but not for us. Right?

• Hi CreateWealth8888,
  My lessons learnt is not so much about following. I knew when I picked it up that our favorite blogger got this at a very very cheap price. I think my bigger challenge is knowing when to let go before it sinks into a very pathetic state. I have a problem of letting things go. Maybe need to watch many times of Frozen :-). Can you share some wisdom of how you typically let things go so that me and all our readers can learn from you !!!

• (1) Add a new column in the your portfolio tracking worksheet called e.g. Total Return for each stock you owned.

  Total Return = Dividends received + Realized P/L + Unrealized P/L.

  Now you may see smaller and smaller Little Red Dot year after year and Lady's heart is getting warmer for de-freezing.

  (2) Avoid this thinking of Average. Average just means it is getting cheaper but also getting bigger too. Think of every position as independent event. Taking profit and cutting losses may be easier to manage and overcome our emotions. Cutting losses? Size matters! Too big. Frozen heart!

  (1) is easier than (2). LOL!

• Hi Createwealth8888,
  Good tip !! :-)

• My two lady followers were excited but later became disappointed. Guess you know why.

  :-)

• Hi CreateWealth8888,
  Why? I am not worms in your stomach nor SMOL. Still trying to learn how to decrypt your message ! :)

• Thakral sticks out like a sore thumb among all your investments.
  I used to invest in this counter too but divested it 3 years ago due to business fundamentals.
  Anyway, keep it going. You are a source of inspiration for many investors.

• Hi Gerald,
  Happy New Year and thanks for the encouragement. You are also a source of inspiration to many readers !!
  Thakral was bought by my parent using my account before I started my investment journey. Nothing much I could do about it except collect pathetic dividends from it

• I would say add a column on annualized returns as well for each counter. :)
  There is a big difference in doubling a counter return in 20 years vs 5 years

• Hi Cory,
  Thanks for the suggestion. Let's see whether I can find time to add that column :).
  Happy New Year !!

• That's almost $5000 a month. Some people would have retired with that. Happy Holidays!

  I haven't really investigated. I started with DBS Vickers and have been with them since as I am too lazy to shop around or change. You may want to check this link for comparison :
