However, it was apparent that I did not properly consider WHY it was so cheap. As a result, prices continued to tank and I did not know why. I was forced to liquidate my holdings at a loss. I learnt that it is very important to consider the why behind fundementals rather than taking them at face value. That's all I have to share today, remember to do your due diligence and happy investing!

My Portfolio Journal January 2024

As January 2024 draws to a close, I've taken some time to reflect on the shares I acquired in 2023 and the trades executed during the month.

Options Industry 2023 Review: Index Products Lead Growth

Jan 25, 2024As we welcome 2024, let us review how the options industry fared in 2023 and what 2023 performance indicates for the new year.U.S. options volumes industry-wide set another record in 2023 as more investors seek the utility and flexibility derivatives provide to manage risk and generate income. 11.11 billion option contracts traded market-wide in 2023 with daily volume averaging 43.3 million contracts, an increase of 6.8% from one year ago.As inflation persisted in the second half of 2023, many investors became wary of the high valuations of stocks and shifted their portfolios to safer assets such as bonds. The economic outlook also deteriorated, as both the manufacturing and service sectors showed signs of slowing down. Moreover, the leading indicators and the shape of the yiel

My 2023 investment decisions in review: 1) My choice to purchase ETFs as the bulk of my portfolio was and is still a wise decision. It allows me to readjust my holdings according to a set of rules without buying or selling any stock, saving money from transaction costs. [Miser]   In addition, it is done automatically every quarter. This saves me time from analysing stocks and keeping up to date with related stock news. [Cool]   Although this strategy would mean underperforming or keeping up to pace with the market, it would save me my most precious resource - time. For those who aspire to attain higher than market returns, careful stock picking from deep analysis would still be the way to go. [Happy]   2) Speculation in hindsight

I have not been very active in my investment in 2023 as I was very busy - both personal & at work. It was the small crash on 23Nov 2023 for SG market that woke me up. It is like a big punch[Spurting]  on my face. That's when I decided to get back to SG market again. Ok. 1st trade was a disaster[Anger] [LOL] [Sad]  . My usual xxxxx units to cover my commission from Poems. It was bought at almost ATH last year.[OMG] [Blush]  . That's when I decided to attend basic investment trading seminar to refresh my skills.  After those trading, my confidence level has improved and I stop chasing after the price. Instead, I just queue for miracle to happen.[Bless] [Chuckle] [LOL]  . 2 stocks in January happened. I felt those price

A roller coaster 🎢 year for 2023, started with a downtrend during the first 6 months and followed by a strong rebound towards the second half and ended with an amazing Christmas rally. 🎄 This is the way that I can use to conclude the year of 2023. Well, now can I do better in 2024? By referring to the mistakes made in 2023, I hope to have personal growth in terms of trading sentiment, strategies and wealth. Below are a few key factors that I need to work onto: 1. Fund management I learnt the importance to manage my fund better, by not investing in too many single stocks at a same time. The number of counters traded needs to be reasonable so that we can have enough time to manage them and it doesn't look too messy and manageable. Holding too much stocks will confuse you and make you unabl

My Reflection on 2023 Investments

I'm not one who likes to cry over spilled milk, though there have been a number of investment mistakes which I would hope to undo if I could go back in time. Firstly and foremost is my misplaced trust in a cryptocurrency platform where I had deposited my fractional bitcoin to earn attractive interests, but it declared bankruptcy after suspending withdrawal over alleged mismanagement of creditors' funds and is now undergoing liquidation, where I would expect to suffer a significant haircut. Although it is only a fractional bitcoin, I would have made a handsome profit based on prevailing price had the crypto been held in my wallet. This is a clear example of being penny wise but pound foolish by failing to adhere to the advice "Not your keys, not your coins" in the unregulated world of crypt

My 2023 Review and My Best Performing Stocks

🌟🌟🌟I am a slow and steady kind of girl and even though 2023 has its ups and downs, I am happy with my performance.  I have allocated my portfolio into 2 segments - Core and Satellite.  My core portfolio consists of plain vanilla ETFs and some blue chip stocks while my Satellite portfolio consists of my tactical plays and speculative bets. My best performing stock in my Core Portfolio is $DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD(D05.SI)$  I am currently up 30%.  Even though DBS had not experienced any spectacular growth in  2023, it has rewarded me with dividends of 6.88% which are paid every 3 months.   I bought DBS in 2020 for just SGD 25.58 and have never looked back.    DBS i

Recap 2023 on Tiger ⚖️

In my investment journey, tiger was not the first platform but it has became a habit to always check in $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ daily 😂 until today and could be forever my favourite platform if TIGER continues to appreciate us, retail investors 😍  I have no time to learn options and still carry many red bags, only for SG itself have few hundreds dollars of RED 😰 i want to sell but i am waiting to see their 2024 performances. Overall in tiger i still profit, the only platform i can have profit (my lucky charm ? ) possible because i was born in year of Tiger 🐯 hahaha So i will continue to learn, USA stocks has helped me to offset some losses because USA stocks dip badly but when markets are moving up it accelerated very fast, so worth to buy

The only asset in my portfolio _ Tesla. Investing in green energy of the future. While perfecting in EV still has a long way to go. The journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step. Electric cars are growing in popularity every day. Like conventional cars, there are certain benefits and drawbacks of using an electric vehicle compared to a gasoline-powered one. Here are the top few to keep in mind: Pros Of Electric Cars Cons Of Electric Cars Electric cars are energy efficient Electric cars can't travel as far Electric cars reduce emissions "Fueling" takes longer Electric cars require lower maintenance Electric cars are sometimes more expensive On the pros side, electric cars are energy efficient, are better for the environment, and don't require as much maintenance as tradit

DBS

What will I do with DBS? What is my view of the 1 for 10 bonus shares being announced by DBS? I am a fan of banks. Questions that I will ask myself first. 1. What happened after the bonus shares are being issued? 2. What is the price and dividends moving forward? 3. Will I continue to add more DBS shares moving forward? 1. The share price is expected to drop by 11% after the issue of the bonus shares. Based on current price, the price that will expect will be $29.35 to $29.50. It may be cheaper than UOB in future. 2. DBS is still riding on the waves of rates increase for the past 2 years. As such, those people and companies where their loan is being fixed will still continue to pay for the higher interest. I expect the dividends to go lower most likely in 2026 rather than 2025. Share price

Happy New Year 🎊 one and all! Another year has passed... Another gain / loss has been made. However, it should not be too bad a year for one and all. Hindsight is a beautiful thing. With hindsight, everything seems easy. I would love to say that if I had known, I would sell all my loss making small mining companies  and get into crypto-based speculation, including bitcoin, MicroStrategy and especially Coinbase Global at the beginning of the year. I guess this is not what this article is about. Although I have been reading and even working around cryptocurrency based technology, I still convinced myself that it is an investment. Maybe if I can go back 20 years in the future, I might have a different take in life.  If I could start my 2023 investment journey again, with t

Newbie's Sharing: The most important thing in investing

I've written quite a few articles on what I've learnt in 2022 and 2023. However, I thought I would like to share what I think is the most impthing to have in investing that I've learnt to allocate in my portfolio. Would it surprise you to know that money is not the most important? While money is indeed essential, and the stepping stone to investing, keeping it is harder and growing it, well...Even harder. Most of us, especially me, have lost money in the stock market. Even today, if I minus dividends, I am still at a loss of $2800. Was the loss painful? Yes indeed it was but I changed my perspective. I tried to think of this as lessons. It is especially effective because I'm studying part time too and I found that if you "spend" your own money, you are more likely to learn as opposed

Mark selling like crazy.... does it Meta?

What happened Recently I chanced upon an article reading that Mark Zuckerberg has been selling his stock like crazy. Initially I thought it might be a fake news. But on more research, this is what I found initially. Yes, the stocks are being sold regularly for huge amounts of profit. The usual knee jerk effect will be to sell$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ if you were to react. But I went to dig further. The Investigation  First interesting thing I found is that insiders in Meta were regular sellers. Everyone including Mark has been selling, and nobody buying. Second interesting point is that the insiders knew when not to sell. During the slumps of 2020 and 2022, selling volume was really low. Aside, it was interesting to know that the selling was done by the trust and entities that Ma
