Movement in my portfolio in March:-
Sold:- Boustead (2.1% loss).
Bought:- Cache Log Tr, FCT, UOB, Keppel Corp.

Dividends collected in March: $2,260.06
2016 avg dividends/month: $1,192.74 [181.9% up at this stage cf. 2015]

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

Comments:
1. Special dividend payout from Saizen Reit gave a great turbocharge to March's dividends.  With Saizen Reit's special dividend, March gained a one-time admission to the 2K Club (current members: May and August).  Well, once a while, need some good spice up along our investment journey.

2. Not bad for more than 15% gain for Saizen Reit since its purchase in Oct 2015.  What about Ascendas HTrust now?  Hmm...

3. Current worst performing counter: Keppel Corp (23.4% unrealised loss)

4. Next is the very dry month of April...

Saizen Reit

I will remember Saizen Reit fondly despite the short acquaintance with this counter.

After going XD for the special dividend this week, all assets of Saizen Reit are gone and it becomes a cash holding, though it will continue trading on the stock exchange for the time being.

I bought Saizen Reit when it was announced that there was a firm offer to acquire all the assets of the Reit.  The stock value has already crept up from $0.80+ to $0.90+.  As Saizen Reit's NAV is $1.10+, I thought it makes no sense to the owner to sell too much below the NAV.  So, I bet that it would be sold near to its NAV.

Despite my small investment in Saizen Reit, it is setting records and milestone for me:

1. The special dividend declared for Saizen Reit will be the highest one-time dividend payout that I received so far. Hope this record will be broken in the future.

2. After XD, Saizen Reit becomes the lowest priced stock in my portfolio. Hope this record will not be broken.

3. The special dividend from Saizen Reit gives a great turbocharge to my 2016 dividend projection.  The full year dividend is projected to exceed $12K for the first time in my investment journey.

I will not sell off my Saizen Reit now and will wait for the delisting cash payout.  Maybe Saizen Reit could yet surprised us with a RTO......

2016 Weekly Review - Week 9 [Bear Army defeated. 200K Milestone]

Quite a fair bit of happenings on week 9.

Finally a major turning point in the war against the Bear Army.  5 successive days of victory surely defeated the Bear Army...... 

There was no more Bear troops in my territory since Wednesday.  My portfolio turned positive on Wednesday (not counting dividends collected).

My total portfolio value jumped more than $10K just this one week and its value crossed 200K for the first time. 

My worst performing counter is still Keppel Corp, but its unrealized loss has narrowed to 23.3% its invested value after week 9.  HPHT is second worst performer, with unrealized loss of 21% its invested value.  If the O&G rally continues, Keppel Corp will soon get pass HPHT.  SCI has recovered to unrealized loss of just 10.8%.

Reviewing my strategy over this 2016 Bear Attack, probably I should deploy more of my warchest.  I have used some when my portfolio first went negative.  Then I plan to use a second batch when my portfolio goes down 10%. 

My portfolio had once declined more than 50% during the Lehman Bear Attack. But this 2016 Bear Attack has produced only a minor blip on my portfolio, and the loss never get close to 10%.

Time to lock up the warchest and maybe formulate a better strategy for the next Bear.  Back to the boring business of continuing with my monthly DCA

The weekly reviews end now.  Unless there is an episode "The Bear Empire Strikes Back"......

Movement in my portfolio in February:-
Sold:- Nil.
Bought:- Saizen Reit, UOB.

Dividends collected in February: $1,159.25
2016 avg dividends/month: $659.09 [32.4% up at this stage cf. 2015]

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


Comments:

1. February joined May, August, November and December as months with more than 1K dividends.

2. Hopefully we have seen the bottom of this market crash.  Buckle up the seat belt and enjoy the ride!

2016 Weekly Review - Week 8

Back and forth fighting continued with the Bear Army on Week 8.  That decisive victory against the Bear Army is still elusive.  

My portfolio's unrealized loss widened slightly to 2.2% the total invested capital at the end of week 8 (not counting dividends collected). 

Considering that my portfolio had once declined more than 50% during the Lehman Bear Attack, so far this 2016 Bear Attack has produced only a minor blip on my portfolio.  

My worst performing counter is still Keppel Corp, with unrealized loss widened to 34.4% its invested value after week 8.  HPHT did badly this week and replaced Sembcorp Industries as 2nd worst performer.  HPHT has lost 26.1% its invested value and I am losing patient on its continuous decline.  Looking unlikely that spring will ever come for HPHT as in the case of CitySpring.  

These 3 counters are key contributors to my portfolio's decline.  Let's see how low Keppel Corp and Sembcorp Industries can go.  But I just do not think they could go bust.   

A lot of counters are still very tempting now but probably not the time to empty the warchest.  I will just continue with my monthly DCA.

2016 Weekly Review - Week 7

Week 7 is over and hopefully we have seen the bottom of the 2016 crash

My portfolio's unrealized loss has recovered to just 1.9% the invested capital at the end of the 7th week (not counting dividends collected).  Just one decisive victory and the fight against the Bear Army will be over.

Considering that my portfolio had once declined more than 50% during the Lehman Bear Attack, so far this 2016 Bear Attack has produced only a minor blip on my portfolio.

My worst performing counter is still Keppel Corp despite it's share price gone above $5 again.  Keppel Corp's loss improved a bit to 32.3% its invested value.  Sembcorp Industries also gain ground this week though still lost 23% its invested value.  

These 2 counters are main contributors to my portfolio's decline.  Let's see how low Keppel Corp and Sembcorp Industries can go.  But I just do not think they could go bust.

A lot of counters are still very tempting now but probably not the time to empty the warchest.  I will just continue with my monthly DCA.

2016 Weekly Review - Week 6

The bad start to 2016 continues on to bad start to the Year of Monkey.  The fight against the Bear Army probably will turn into a long drawn fight.

The STI lost 3.2% on the 3 trading days this week and the Bear Army is pushing STI back towards 2,500 againMy portfolio done better, just declined 1.9% but my total lost increased to 4.8% at the end of the 6th week (not counting dividends collected).  

Considering that my portfolio had once declined more than 50% during the Lehman Bear Attack, so far this 2016 Bear Attack has produced only a minor blip on my portfolio.

My worst performing counter is still Keppel Corp, and it lost further ground to 38.2% its invested value.  Sembcorp Industries has lost ground this week and has lost 31.5% its invested value.  

These 2 counters are main contributors to my portfolio's decline.  Let's see how low Keppel Corp and Sembcorp Industries can go.  But I just do not think they could go bust.

A lot of counters are very tempting now and I know low could go lower.  Waiting for China's market to open next week, I did not buy anything this week.

Lastly, one good news for Saizen Reit, the special dividend declared already more than covered my invested cost.  So, the small punt on Saizen Reit is a profitable one.
