Though the market was shadowed by the risk of a US debt ceiling krisis, STI performed relatively well in the month of July, backed by solid corporate results. STI rose in quiet market over 2%, to end at 2189.26.
My stocks did do as well. My portfolio value rose only by 1% in the month. This was due to many counters went on XD.
I didn't do very much on the investment side. I received the bonus shares from Metro and some DBS shares through script dividend scheme. I received S$1,727 on cash dividend (which I spent on a nice guitar! :))
Over the past few months I have been building up my cash reserve to catch any market opportunities. In the month of August, I will be receiving some good dividends in cash, which I will use to invest cautiously, mainly in good value stocks that pay good dividend.

30 June 2011
I could not update my blog earlier, as I was too busy with other stuff.
We have just crossed the halfway point of 2011. The good start to 2011 was unfortunately not sustained, so my portfolio did not advance as it looked set to do at the beginning of the year. I am not to bothered though, as my focus has shifted to creating passive income from the portfolio. The total dividend received in the first six months rose 38% compared to the same period last year, which is well on target. Baring unforeseen circumstances, I should reach my dividend target this year.
June was a quiet month. STI drop 1.25% for the month in quiet trading, as investors worried about the Eurozone debt crisis. towards the end of the month there seemed to be silver lining in the horizon so market rallied.
My portfolio value dropped with STI, even a tad more than it (1.36%). I bought some HTL shares and participated in script dividend scheme from OCBC. I tried to Q for some other counters but was not successful. I received S$7,300 in dividend this month. Below are the top 30 holdings.
