Dear Readers,
Thank you for coming here!
Still burning!
Here is another update.
I lost all interest and courage to add positions for now.
My wife asked me to buy above two.
I am too lazy to argue or care.
No selling. I have buckled up for the next few years.
Happy investing!
Till next time!

Dear Readers,
Thank you for coming here!
Past one and half weeks was so freaking dark.
I was losing my monthly salary roughly every two days.
If this trend continues, I will slip into poverty really fast ;)
Luckily, my portfolio rebounded a bit on Friday. Lets see how it goes next week.
Below is a summary of the transactions.

It dropped below my lowest buying point. So I went in with a small position.
And it turned out to be way too early.
It dropped 22% in the next two days…
I guess I am still a bit rushy in adding positions to lower costs.
There have been many lessons before this one.
It crossed my mind multiple times that I should just sell some of the positions and buy them back at a lower price.
However, I managed to stop myself from doing it.
I do not know whether that is the right decision, but I know I am bad at predicting the market.
So I stayed put.
Happy investing!
Till next time!

Here are my transactions for the last week, for your reference!
This is a speculative buy for the 2nd time.
I think this one still has potential to harness the semi-conductor wave. And also, the price has dropped enough in my opinion.
The price has risen by 4–5% since the purchase. Lets see what happens next.
This is the 60% loss in one day. “Stop Loss” order was triggered.
Another “Stop Loss” order was triggered. So I lost 10% in the matter of days on this speculative buy.
This was the buy from last week, so the 2nd buy above was done this week.
Speculative does come with its costs.
Happy investing!
Till next time!

I made 9 transactions last week and spent close to 100SGD in trading fees.
This is a record.
I have never made such frequent trades in any week of my investment journey.
Some trades have already generated gains and the others still remain to be seen.
Here are my transactions for the last week, for your reference!
This is my first try in the electric vehicles sector.
I have always been unclear on what is going on in the sector. And I am not a fun of the concept of Elon.
So I have been staying away.
But recent news about BYDDY spurred my interest.
So on top of electric vehicles and phone assembly (probably many people do not know this, but they assemble tons of phones), they now entered e-cigarette field with technology and production capacity. And there is rumor that Apple may be purchasing batteries from them for Apple cars.
It seems interesting and the portfolio seems diversified enough.
So I made my entry.
The top up is simply a response to the drop of stock price and I did not manage to control my own hand.
As a result, similar to YALA, the holding is too heavy in my portfolio.
So I might look for opportunities to let go of some of my positions. I have not seen any yet.
Worst case, I will hold it for as long as it takes.
These are my speculative trys with small positions.
All the investment books I read ask me not to speculate.
Well, I guess I am among those people who have to try themselves before they will give up.
I will keep you guys updated on the outcome.
But if you are like me, I guess my lessons wont help prevent you from trying.
I have shared in my last entry that I was lucky to get 44% gain in one day.
Again, this is luck.
Happy investing!
Till next time!
Dear Readers,

Finally, I have some transactions to report.
I believed the buying points had come and I make the move. It turned out I could have waited a bit more.
Anyway, below are the transactions.
I have been waiting for 18.5 buying point and it finally came. So the positions were added.
And it kept going down to below 16…haha…
So I added a bit more at 16.4.
And it all happened within 3 days…
I think the company is still solid. I still believe in its products and services and its ability to monetize them. The financial reports look good too.
The market is on the downward trend and this stock is being badly affected.
Lets see. Only time will tell.
I never planned to add positions. But the prices dipped to 75–76 range and it looked attractive.
So I added some positions. And of course, it continued to dip after my buy.
Similar to the one above, it is for holding.
I do sometimes regret that I did not reduce my positions when the “profit-taking” started. Now I have lost all the gains and even more.
My account has been in the very RED zone recently.
For investing, the only way to learn may be actually experiencing the loss and emotional swing. Otherwise, we can read as much as we like and much of it wont make sense until we have experienced.
Two things are important during the process:
After all, we invest to make money to have good lives.
The above to us both.
Happy investing!
Till next time!
Dear Readers,

Here is another weekly update on the transactions. And sorry to say that it is another no-transaction boring update
There was no injection, but I did see a very good opportunity to add positions for Yalla.
There was a almost 10% drop on Thursday. I set the target buy price at 18.50USD and again I missed it by a little.
I could not stay up for the whole night to monitor the market. So I guess that is another potential pitfall for personal investors.
I will keep monitoring and I believe the opportunities will come again, especially now that I have more war-chest.
Again, this is not the time to sell.
Happy investing!
Till next time!

Here is another weekly update on the transactions.
I know it must be boring for you to keep reading my updates, which really is no update.
I am bored too.
My account is back in the negative, which means some stocks in my portfolio have dropped.
But I just do not see good opportunities to add positions yet…
Maybe it will stay boring for a while.
One of the worst things that could happen is to conduct transactions for the sake of conducting transactions.
Again, I am getting the proceeds from selling my previous flat next week. I will keep watching.
And really hope the COVID situation will get contained.
Again, this is not the time to sell.
Happy investing!
Till next time!

Here is another update on the transactions.
My account is back in the negative. And it is really the Covid related stocks, like airlines.
With the 9-month high cases in Singapore, I really hope there wont be one more wave.
Take care and stay safe!
I am still watching the markets.
My proceeds from selling my previous flat will reach mid of this month. So I will have more war-chest to deploy by then.
Overall, I think it is not too bad a time to go in.
Stay tuned!
Again, this is not the time to sell.
Happy investing!
Till next time!

Here is another update on the transactions.
My schedule finally improved. And I caught up with my sleep during the weekend. It feels good.
I cannot help but noticing that my workload last week was only a fraction of what I could handle a few years back and I felt so loaded.
Maybe I got old. Maybe I just do not believe it any more.
I still did not do any capital injection for the past week, but I plan to do so by mid of May. I do feel the possibility of another significant drop is very low.
Last Friday was the best day for me in a while. Way to go!
Again, this is not the time to sell.
Happy investing!
Till next time!
Dear Readers,

Here is another update on the transactions.
Busy schedule continues. I think the coming week will not be too relaxing either.
For the market, I maybe looked at it twice in the past whole week and did not see any buying opportunities.
I am still in the RED.
And STI has been doing pretty well. Haha, I pretty much sold my STI at the lowest point and bought in other stocks at the highest point.
Almost perfect timing to drag myself in the shit…
Again, this is not the time to sell.
Happy investing!
Till next time!
