Updates on portfolio

Time flies, we are now in the month of November and 2018 will end in 2 months times. My friends and I were still talking about how we spend our new year this year at Changi Village with all the fireworks display and all.

Time sure flies especially when we are young. For my portfolio so far, it is down 13% so far without including dividends.




Of course, during this period, many stocks have a attractive prices and I am tempted to get more. But due to a shortage of funds in my war chest, I will not be buying anymore.

Many people have wrote and mentioned that this will not be the lowest, there will be more uncertainty in next year markets as the US-China trade war impacts really hit Singapore. You can read more on this article. 




Over this period, I have realised the importance of dividends. It kinda puts your mind at ease knowing that at least you are getting something back from the company. I have learned this lesson from Design Studio, from the time I have bought it till now, I haven't received dividends from it and it's stock price have been dropping at an alarming rate.

For now, this is the proportion of shares in my portfolio.

I would be shifting my focus more to REITs and STI ETF. Currently, looking closely at CapitaR China Trust as their recent results have been pretty good and MapleTree Logistics Trust.
