My Stock Report Card for Mar, Apr 2015
Total Dividend Collected from Jan – Apr 2015 : SGD $4,856.84.
Income distribution this month came from Bank of America, Aimsamp Cap Reit, HPH Trust and M1.
I added small positions in Alibaba and Keppel Corp due to their recent fall in prices. I also received payback from Keppel Land ($27,156) who has gone private through the Keppel Corp acquisition program. Apple reported smashing results while Twitter took a plunge due to it’s underperformance earnings and glitch announcements. Sabana results and projected performance is once again a disappointment. Curious to see Alibaba’s results this week :-).
Exchange Kepland for Kep Corp is a good move. Now you still own 100% of ex Kepland + other businesses of Kep Corp.
Hi CreateWealth8888,
Hope so 🙂
Just curious, Are you fully invested all the times?
Hi Ah John,
No. I haven’t been adding much positions over the past 2 year. I buy only if I find something interesting.
Notice almost all eggs in one basket – M1.
Now that it is as high as it likely will get and with 4th Telco coming, perhaps consider to take profit on some of the portfolio (say, 25%) and create war chest for other more up and coming investments (when timing is better)?
Sorry, not M1 but Starhub.
Hi ABC,
Thanks for the advice. Am monitoring the implications of a 4th telco. At this point in time, I do not see the need to divest yet.
Thanks for sharing.
Could you share with me what software do you use for your report card?
Hi Lai,
Am using my broker’s online software, I saw that they are upgrading their software right now. Check link here for the broker I am using.

Such a robust portfolio. I’m starting out on my journey and very nervous/scared but excited at the same time. Still learning and thanks for sharing, it’s very inspirational. 🙂
Hi Doppp,
Glad you found inspiration from my blog. Start small and learn from mistakes. Once you get a hang of the patterns, it will not be that difficult or scary anymore. Good luck on your investment journey and keep me posted on your progress :).

Can you share your view why you choose Apple and Facebook ?
Hi Cory,
I picked up Apple when they launch the iPhone. I saw that they were trying to disrupt the telecom scene with their iPhone which I think they did beautifully. Owning apple has been a roller coaster ride, esp during the transition of leadership from Steve Job to Tim Cook. Tim Cook seemed to have delivered. Moving forward, I hope to see Apple make it’s mark in the Automotive, IOT space with their wearables, tablets and development kits. As for Facebook, I picked Facebook when they first IPO. It was also a roller coaster ride owning FB. They started with questionable revenue streams but alot of subscribers. I think Zuckerberg has done a fabulous job with some of his acquisitions (whatsapp, instagram) and advertising strategy. Now FB is challenging Google big time in the advertising revenue streams and they are also working on a couple of very interesting initiatives (internet.org, drones etc) that could potentially further disrupt the telecom / internet scene. To summarize, I invest in these tech stocks because I see that these companies are going to be potential growth stocks challenging the traditional businesses. I am however watching their execution very closely. Hope this clarifies.
