The year 2012 started with most of the analysts predicting that the economy would not do well and the market continue its downtrend. But the market did very well in January. Though the European crisis still has not see its end, some positive news from US lifted the market. STI rose 260 points (almost 10%) in the month to end above 2906. My portfolio rose slightly less, only 7.5% this month.
I did not do very much in share market this month. That was because I use some cash to buy into 2 bond fund and participated in the CMA Bond IPO. These actions drained my cash position so I did not buy any share this month. I received S$365 in dividend this month.
going forward, I will focus on blue chip with good dividend payout and REITs that are performing well.
Below are the top 30 holdings as at 31 Jan 2012. O&G and Shipping shares rose, Cosco came back to the list again and Sembmarine rose a few position.

30 December 2011
December has been a quiet month for stock market as many are on holiday. the usual Christmas rally didn't happen, and ST index dropped another 2% in the month to end at 2646. My portfolio value dropped 1.9% in the same period, almost in line with STI.
The Straits Time said on weekend that the stock market fell 17% for the whole year of 2011. My portfolio did slightly better, cushioned by the dividend income.
I did not do much in the month. I Topped up SGX and AscendasReit towards the end of the month when their prices dropped. I received S$6,700 of dividend this month. Total dividend received exceeded my target of S$50K, but since the porfolio value dropped more than that, the net return was still negative.
Below are the top 30 holdings. Not much changes occur, except AscendasReit replace Cosco, due to new buy-in.

30 November 2011
November has been a very "short" month for me in term of investment. With 2 business trips in 2 weeks plus all the preparations and meetings, there was hardly time for me to do much for the portfolio.
The stock market continue to be volatile. Euro Zone crisis casts a big shadow over the global market. Stock market went up and down on news. Due to this confusion and my busy schedule, I did not make any purchase/sell this month.
At the end of the month, STI settled at 2702, 5.3% lower than end of October. My portfolio performed slightly better, dropped only 3.95% in value. I received S$4,700 in dividend this month. Together with the dividend which I am going to receive next month, the total dividend this year will exceed the 50K target set. However, the investment as a whole still give a negative return, as the value dropped (upto today) more than the dividend received.
Given the uncertainty, I will continue to position my stock portfolio towards defensive and high dividend stocks. Blue chip and high yield stock will still be my preference.
Below are the top 30 holdings. They are still the same counters as in October, besides some postion changes.
