My Rewarding Investing Journey With Tiger After 1500 Days!
πππWow! I have just received The Tiger Idol Badge after being with Tiger Brokers for 1500 Days! That is 4 years of my life and what an amazing journey it has been for me.
My goal has always been FIRE - Financial Independence Retire Early. In order to achieve that goal, I seek passive income which I receive in dividend stocks as well as ETFs.
My strategy is Buy and Hold great stocks and ETFs and after 4 years, I am happy to say that it is a successful strategy.
In my core portfolio, I have invested in $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPLG)$
SPLG is the mini version of $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$
The other ETF in my core portfolio is $STI ETF(ES3.SI)$
STI ETF is the oldest Singapore ETF with Assets Under Management of SGD 1.577 billion. It has recently reached its 52 week high of SGD 3.65.
Dividends are paid twice a year. The current dividend yield is 4.75%. I am currently up 25% on STI ETF which is pretty good compared to SPLG ETF.
These are just 2 of my favourite ETFs in my core portfolio which I have been dollar cost averaging over the 4 year period. I have not sold a single unit of these 2 ETFs during this time as I believe in holding them long term.
I must confess that in the 4 year period there have been peaks and troughs, just like a roller coaster. There was the Covid Pandemic which disrupted our lives as well as the markets. But through it all, I have held on tight to my core portfolio, never giving up, always believing that in the long term, the stock markets will rise.
There will be challenges ahead but with the magic of compounding and lots of patience, I know that I will be rewarded handsomely with outsized gains in the future. In the meantime, I also receive dividends which are a great source of passive income while waiting for capital growth.
As the late great Charlie Munger likes to say "The Big Money is not in the Buying and Selling but in the Waiting".
After 1500 Days with Tiger Brokers, I am happy to say that it has been a rewarding journey to be part of this wonderful community of Tiger Friends where I have learnt so much from the experts, laughed and cried and shared my joys and sorrows.
A Big Thank You to Tiger Brokers and Everyone who have made this investing journey such a rewarding one. πππ
