31 May 2010

Volcano Ash, Eurozone debt crisis, China's measure to curb overheating property market, tension between the two Koreas, bloody protest in Thailand, all these bad news come together made May the worst month for the stock market in the past 18(?) months. STI plunged more than 320 points from last month-end to 2650 on 25 May. It has since recovered slightly and stood at 2,752.60. Compared to 30 Apr, it is 222 points or 8% lower.

My portfolio value dropped about 8.97% this month, thus underperforming STI. Only consolation is the S$12,000 cash dividend received, which I reinvested together with the proceed I received from sale of SSH shares. I bought FSL Trust, Lee Metal, Noble, SIA, SPH, Sing Inv and DBS STI ETF (using SRS) this month.

Below are the top 30 holdings. SSH, Pac Andes and Sp Ship were replaced by DBS STI ETF100, KS Energy and SMRT.
