28 February 2009

Just come back from business trip. Updated this blog a bit late.

Portfolio performed badly in February, in line with the deepening global financial crisis. As compared to January, portfolio value reduced by S$13,600, depite injecting S$18,000 of fresh fund.

I subsribed to DBS right issue and got 500 excess right shares. Took the opportunity to top up some counters, and bought Sembmarine and KepCorp. Hiap Moh and SFI disappeared from the portfolio, both due to unconditional cash offer. Sad, as they were both my good defend stock with very good dividend payout. The only consolation is both were sold above my cost.

DBS and F&N entered the top 10 listing due to new shares buy-in. The top 30 counters:

1. ComfortDelGro
2. SPH
3. Semb Corp
4. ST Engineering
5. OCBC Bk
6. DBS
7. SP AusNet

31 January

Market continues to be volatile, and I continue to buy in in small amount. In January, no cash dividend was received, only S$224 in CPF account via SingTel. Portfolio value increasd by S$14,600, but that was due to new fund injected (S$23,100). Effectively portfolio value dropped by S$9,000 in January.

31 December 2008

2008 finally comes to the end. What a year of volatility. With the beginning of a new year, let's hope things (investment) will turn out better.

The market seems to be less volatile in December. The top ten counters in my portfolio had little movement, except DBS. It dropped off the top ten list because I sold half of my holding ( 1 lot only lah, talk BIG).

As compared to end of November, my portfolio rose by S$11,268 (incl the proceed from selling the 1000 DBS shares). It stands at S$338,670 as at 31 December. As compared to a year ago, this is a 38% drop. Of course the actual lost is more than this, because I injected S$175,790 in 2008. Including this, total lost in 2008 amounted to S$371,671, or 52%.

I received cash dividend of S$3,166.49 in December. Total cash dividend received in 2008 amounts to S$23,700.
