The month May was a quiet one in term of stock market. Trading volume was not high and STI was in negative territory the whole month. Eurozone crisis, Account irregularity in S-chips related Chinese state own companies casted shadow over the market. My portfolio performed somehow worst than the markt. At the end of the month, it dropped 2.33% compared with last month, whereas STI recovered its lost and ended only .63% below last month. The big drop was contributed by: Sembcorp, SembMar, KepCorp, Capitaland, UE, Cosco, Yanzijiang.
This month was also the month with huge dividend payout. I received S$14,000 in cash dividend. I used this to buy shares in SPH when the price dropped, Sing Inv and converted Pac Andes warrant. I also received some bonus shares from KepCorp.

29 April 2011
Stock market was relatively quiet in April. There wasn't much big news to rock the market, and the election fever in Singapore seems to lure investors away as well. STI stayed in positive territary the whole month.
STI settled at 3179.86 on 29 April, up 2.38% compared to last month. My portfolio went up only 1% this month, much lower than the index. I did not invest very much in this month, because I was kept busy with my work. I bought Hyflux preferenc shares through IPO, subscribed to Cambridge rights issues, and converted Pac Andes warrants.
No dividend income this month. Below are my top 30 holdings as at 29 April. KS Energy replaced Suntec Reit. There were some swopping of positions, but changes are minor.

31 March 2011
The world's attention this month was surely on Japan, after the triple blow from a 9.0 magnitude earthquake, a tsunami and the treatening meltdown of the nuclear reactors in Fukushima. Meanwhile the unrest in Middle East continues, with the Western Power establishing a no-fly zone over Lybia and bombarded Col. Gadaffi's forces. Stock market tumbled after the 3-11 Quake hit Japan and hit the lowest point on18 March. However market recovered somewhat in the last week of March.
STI when down and up in tendem with the global market, but ended in positive territory for the month of March. After trading close today, STI stands at 3,105.85, up 3.17% from February End. My portfolio went up by 2.67% (excludes fund injected), under performed the STI.
When the market was down, I tried to buy some stocks. I managed to buy AscendasIReit, topped up Pacific HC and Metro. I participated in the right issues of Global Investment, and received shares from Pac Andes through Script Dividend scheme. I received S$2,240 in cash dividend.
From the top holding list, there are some re-positioning in the mid-field due to relative price movement. Overall there are not much changes, except ASL Marine was replaced by UE.

Going forward, I shall be investing mainly in the dividend stocks and adopt a more defensive stance. I will also try to build up my cash position, since STI has reclaimed 3,100 level. With the crisis in Japan and M.E. unsettled, opportunities may arise anytime....
