2022: A test of conviction


2022 is a painful year for many. Almost all investment classes from stocks to bonds andeven cryptocurrencies plunged. Markets from US to HK to SG fell as well. My portfolio was not spared too. On tiger brokers, my portfolio is largely in the HK/CHN and SG market. HK for the tech and China broad marketand SG mainly the SREITS to target growth and dividend respectively.


I only exited $WILMAR INTERNATIONAL LIMITED(F34.SI)$ this year when it was at a high when the war broke out and made a tiny progit. Original plan was to buy back when it hits $3.80 but there were other stocks that was hit then and I prioritise my SREITs again. Looks like it's too late to add back now butwe shall see.


No losses this year as I have yet to sell losing positions. My biggest regret is not selling $SATS LTD.(S58.SI)$ when it was $4.80 as Iwas waiting for $5 to exit so that I can profit a bit more. I bought this purely as part of the reopening theme then. In some sense, it was for fun and not really serious investment to me. Now, I'm just a bag holder. I have not considered if I would want to average down at this point as again, I prioritise the SREITS whenever the broad market ishit and I have cash to buy. Learning point? Don't be greedy. Better to have smaller profit than a loss....


As I look back at 2022, lessons learnt:

1) always be clear on investment horizon. Don't panic when market is hit. This is a good buying opportunity if the stock is good and you still believe in the long term potential of the company/ market. I averaged down on many of my blue chip SREITS, the China broad market of top 300 companies as well as $TENCENT(00700)$ .

2) don't be greedy. If hit target price, sell and take whatever profit. similarly, when targetprice is hit, buy. Can never time the bottom. I regretted not buying some of the SREITS when it bottomed like $CapitaLandInves(9CI.SI)$ when it hit $3 as I was waiting for it to go further down. 

3) don't FOMO. Sometimes, the train returnsfor you eg Apple. I did not buy when it was $130 but did not FOMO when I missed the train and buy at a higher price. We shall see ifI can add it this time around.


Overall, my portfolio is red but not too worried. expecting a turnaround in 2H of 2023 orlatest 2024. This storm too shall pass!

Enjoy the holidays everyone! Good health is the best wealth and we can all count our bleswings as we reflect on the year.

    多数可以这么认定,但是股票可以在今年更早的时间选择短期波段或者日内,加密货币我也可以选择做短期量化交割,根据市场的情况来控制自己手上的资金才是最佳选择

    只是对我而言自己的发意见发表

    Federal reserve interest hikes lower down global asset prices, it only happens around 3~4 times in a person's investing journey. and it presents a good opportunity for value investors. you can imagine what will happen to S-reits when US start lowering interest.

      Yes when china/hk rebounds, i probably need to rebalance a bit. It might hit the cycle that the US market is now when the government may start tightening. Sreits im in for dividends so unless the price is too good that i want to take profit, I probably will just hold

      @MHh your portfolio is ok. China and HK will lead the global market next year because China's economy and sentiment is at the lowest moment. SG blue chips and reits price will be reassessed after  US start changing direction. Buy/ Sell out position batch by batch, nobody can catch the peaks.

      My UT could be total 🍀🍀 and not 🍀🌸 if it is not due to family matters and my own surgery. Busy dealing with utmost importance matter that i totally neglected my assets. Anyway, some of UT are in 🍀. Hence if you are long term investors, sometimes it is good to leave them at their own device. 🤭

      Depends on horizon. It’s cheap for most sreits but not the cheapest. Not all valued the same. Can consider buying if price is right and have time to wait out for capital and dividend gain. Buy only the good ones! Otherwise, can get ETF

    -18% is really jeed long way to retun back. Wish you good luck. I believe SATS can earn profit soon. Border open back, more plane flying and Airport going to busy.
