Movement in my portfolio in July:-
Sold:- Nil
Bought:- FCL, SPH.

Dividends collected in Jul: $0
2016 avg dividends/month: $975.03 [62.6% up at this stage cf. 2015]

Boring process of building up my passive income portfolio brick-by-brick (bit-by-bit).

Comments:
1. Just when the STI is heading towards 3,000 points, the Swiber liquidation news (later changed to judicial management) hammered the O&G counters as well as the banks.  Perhaps Swiber could be the tip of one huge iceberg that might trigger a great domino effect on the stock market?

2. Big fat "0" dividend in July.  Well, a good rest in July for the dividend harvesting in August.  Set to be the second highest record for me next month (after May this year), as 18 of my 28 holdings are paying dividends in August. I'm all agog for August harvesting.

3. Current worst performing counter: Keppel Corp (25.5% unrealised loss).  Look like a long and harsh winter for Keppel Corp...

IPO - EC World REIT

EC World REIT is the third REIT IPO in 2016.  Only one Reit (BHG REIT) was listed in 2015.  But in 2016, we are getting into Reit fatigue already, and maybe there are a few more coming.

Both Manulife US Reit (price recovered) and Frasers Log & Ind Tr are doing fine at the moment; and are both above their IPO prices.

I have no luck for both these two earlier IPOs, but I am not interested in this new EC World REIT.  The reasons:

1. China. Hmm..... 
And all the six properties in one single city, Hangzhou, which means high geographical concentration risk.

2. Sponsored by a China-based group
Of course not all China Reits are bad.  Capitaland Retail China Tr and Mapletree GCC Tr are doing fine, but they are managed by Capitaland and Mapletree.  For comparison, BHG Reit, sponsored by a China-based group, is currently trading below it's IPO price.

3. Track Record
Lack of track record for the sponsor Forchn Holdings Group Co., Ltd.

4. Projected Yield of 7.1%
7.1% is not that fantastic and my holdings of AIMSAMPI Reit, Cache Log Trust, Frasers Com Tr and Far East HTrust all have higher yield than that.  DYODD.

I will sit out this IPO despite its listing price below its NAV price.

Movement in my portfolio in June:-
Sold:- Nil
Bought:- Cache Log Tr, SPH, OCBC Bank (DRIP).

Dividends collected in Jun: $451.88
2016 avg dividends/month: $1,137.54 [62.6% up at this stage cf. 2015]

Boring process of building up my passive income portfolio brick-by-brick (bit-by-bit).

Comments:
1. Dropped my glasses as I expected Brexit a non-event.  However, Brexit was no black swan event and just one incident on our investment journey.  One likely outcome is no interest rate hike soon.

2. My total portfolio values declined $3.7K on the Brexit day Friday 24th June.  The market bounced back immediately the following week and my total portfolio values has increased more than $11K just the 4 trading days to end June.  Look like the day to add more stocks was the Brexit day, but I had meeting for that whole day and missed the chance.  Well, stuck in the rat race, so be a good rat and run a good race.

3. Current worst performing counter: Keppel Corp (22.3% unrealised loss).

4. Another barren month coming in July...
