• There are some losses in your portfolio. Are you worried?

• Hi My Sweet Retirement,
  Not worried. It's part and parcel of investment. You win some, you lose some.

• Hi Anon,
  Unfortunately, I do not have a subscription option. If you would like to get an alert for my articles, Facebook or Twitter could be a better option.I also tend to share other articles on Facebook as well which I may not post on the blog page. You can subscribe to Facebook or Twitter at the top right hand corner below my banner. Hope this helps.

• Hi, the broker's page not include dividend, that's bias when evaluate the performance by stock.

• Agreed. Including the dividends into your Profit/Loss will show the real returns of your portfolio.

• Why do you put so much faith in Starhub?

• Hi Mike,
  It has been serving me well for many years. It used to increase dividend YOY. Now, it may not perform as well as the good old days and there are more uncertainties moving forward but still working well for me at this point.

• Apart from investing question.Are you single? married with children? I am single too.

• Hi Adrian, Gimme 5.

• How much do you need to invest in order to gets substantial amount of dividends?

  How much should one start with?

• Hi Jo,
  You don't have to start with alot. For example, in SGX, you can buy 100 shares and start getting dividends already. It really depends on the company you invest in and the dividend % they distribute.Note however, don't just go for high dividends %, you may end up losing more in your capital investment, than the dividends you collect. Hope this helps.

• Thanks for the advice! Just curious, how much capital did you use when you first started?

  Do you buy on a monthly basis or yearly?

  Is it too late to start investing now that prices have gone up?

• Hi Jo,
  I started with 100K SGD. I don't have a schedule when it comes to buying. I buy when I think a stock is worth owning. In terms of whether it's too late to invest now that prices have gone up, I don't think so. There are still some bargains around. It really depends on which stock and sector you are looking at.
