    Gong Xi Fa Cai ! Happy New Year ! Don’t forget the 12 Million Toto draw tomorrow.

    I added some Tencent, MapleTree Logistics, MapleTree Industrial and ST Engineering during the market dip this month. February has been a roller coaster ride for the US stock market, the Volatility Index surged to almost 30 and the stock market plunge almost 1000 points giving back 50% of all the gains in 2017. While I was shopping for bargains, the market went up again recovering what it has lost before I could take any concrete actions. Looks like we are now trading in an environment where the robots have a certain set of stop loss rules thus triggering this panic sell despite a relatively healthy and vibrant economy. Did you managed to get some bargains during the flash sale ? If yes, congratulations !

    Total Dividend Collected between Jan – Dec 2017 : SGD $ 27,296.13. 

    Total Profit/Loss from Sales of Stock between Jan – Dec 2017 : SGD 120,423.21

    This quarter, I added some Tencent, Intel and Alibaba during the minor market dip. Sold off the remaining Starhub shares (Profit : $20,032.63) when the CEO resigned. 

    What a year 2017 ! Crazy paper gains from my US portfolio. Expected disappointing dividend returns due to the sales of Starhub for my SG portfolio. Looks like I have to review and relook into my passive income investment strategy. I will probably keep more cash now and wait for a better market timing to rebuild my passive income. Thus, 2018’s dividend income would probably be a disaster.

    A shoutout to feedspot for nominating my blog as “Top 100 Singapore Blogs and Websites for Singaporeans”. To be honest, I have been lazy in my blogging in the past year.  However, whenever I thought of quitting, I will get a gentle private nudge from readers to check whether I am still alive ;-). That actually moved and motivated me to continue. Thank you to all who have reached out !

    US Stock - 5 Oct 2017

    SG Stock - 5 Oct 2017

    Total Dividend Collected from Jan – Sep 2017 : SGD $ 21,720.24. 

    Profits gained from Starhub and OCBC sale : SGD 96,785.58.

    Sorry to have disappeared for so long, decided to take a digital break. Between Jan – Sep, I have since sold off Starhub and OCBC. I have added Microsoft, Tencent, Tesla, Frasers HTrust, Nikko-AM STC Asia REIT. My US portfolio has been fantastic but my Singapore portfolio has been lackluster. The signs of the Singapore economy and the performance of many of the Singapore companies have been worrying, they don’t seemed to be able to transform themselves fast enough to the disruption that is happening across the industries. Moving forward, I will probably be more prudent in my investment in the local markets and maybe increase my cash reserves.

    Total Dividend Collected from Jan – Dec 2016 : SGD $ 62,205.

    Income distribution in Dec came from Aimsamp Cap Reit, SPH. I sold off SPH as I think they might be too late in their transformation exercise and added some Facebook.

    Happy New Year :-). What a year, 2016 ! For the first time, the Singapore market performed badly while the US market hits all time high. As you might have noticed, in the past few years, I slowed down on the accumulation of dividend stocks in Singapore and started to look for growth stocks in the US market for purpose of diversifying my portfolio. I am relieved that the dividend revenue managed to increase as I was expecting a drop due to the privatization of Keppel Land and the poor performance of the Singapore market.

    Income distribution in Nov came from SGX, Suntec Reit, SMRT, Capitamall Trust, Keppel Reit, Sabanna, Starhub, Apple and Citigroup. Despite a relatively turbulent year, my dividends target did not suffer too much. I seemed to be on track to match my last year’s results although portfolio wise, it doesn’t look as rosy. Now that my money is finally freed from my renovation and property investment. Time to strategize abit moving forward to grow the dividends target and strengthen the portfolio to prepare for the next BIG sale.

    Kudos also to the DBS Vickers IT team who reworked their UI to let me screen capture my portfolio on their new website instead of having to export to an excel spreadsheet every month !

    This month also marks the 2nd anniversary of my blog ! Do give me some feedback on what you’ve enjoyed reading and what kind of content you would like me to share moving forward.

    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 :-).
