The political turmoil in Middle East and North Africa, coupled with inflation fear affected the stock market badly. STI showed the worst performance since the last financial meltdown. The good news is that most of the corporate results published were good. IMHO, this is not another financial crash but a correction.
STI dropped 6.25% for the month of February. My portfolio dropped 5.63%, slightly better. I did not buy much shares this month, because I was bogged down by work, and was on business trip in Europe last week. The only purchase was Cache. I received S$2,500 in dividend this month.
I will be very busy next month also. Hope that I can't squeeze some times in between my schedule to dig out some good buy. Otherwise I will just sit tight and ride through the correction wave. Below are the top 30 holdings as at 28 Feb. Not much changes except at the bottom of the table.

31 January 2011
Stock market started very good this month, but loss steam towards the end. Reason? European credit crisis, bad weather, Korean problem, Egyptian unrest, Chinese rate hike..... So at the end of January the STI index is back to where it started - 3,179,72, 10 points lower than 31 Dec.
My portfolio followed the STI through the ups and down, ending some 0.16% lower than last month. SIA, UE, STEngineering and Capitaland were the worst performer, where CWT and KepCorp were the stars.
I was given 4,000 ASL Marine shares as Bonus, and I bought another 6,000 shares. No othere purchase was made this month. I received S$528 in dividend this month. Below are the top 30 holdings this month:

31 December 2010
Stock market has been rather "stable" this month. STI was in positive territory whole month. Worry in the Euro-zone did not affect the market too much, similarly the Korean situation, and the icy winter in Europe and America. Even the latest interest rate hike in China did not hit the market badly. Figures released by US government indicated the recovery is on track, so global stock market advanced. DOW hit 2-year high a few times.
STI advanced and hit 3,200 after Christmas. It eventually close at 3,190.04 today, or (45.34 points) 1.44% higher compared to End-November. My portfolio performed even better. Its value rose 2.76% this month, net of fund invested.
I bought First Reit this month. I received Bonus shares from ASL Marine. On the dividend side, December has always been a "bonus" month for me. I received S$9,700 in cash dividend.
The list of top 30 holdings has little change. Suntec Reit came back and squeezes SingTel out of the list. KepCorp and Sembmarine advanced due to price surge over the last few days.

Come next year, I will go more defensive in my investment as STI is already quite high. Objective will be to increase my passive income through dividend.
