SRS - a quick snapshot 28 Sep

Even though the current stocks in my SRS portfolio are at an unrealized losses but l can sleep easy as these are good fundamental stocks whereby they will generate generous passive income for me.

SRS - Closing Status 28 Sep

For my SRS portfolio this week, l have added SembCorp Marine 2 lots.  If share market weakens and l am stuck with this investment, it still gives me an annual dividend yield between 2.2% to 5% (including "usual" special dividend).

Cash - a quick snapshot 28 Sep

From my Cash portfolio, I have learnt important investment lessons but the expensive way; via 3 share counters at $7,673!  And l am hoping l do not have to pay such high tuition fees ever again from the lessons learnt.


Cash - Closing Status 28 Sep

Under Cash portfolio this week, l have managed to sell away KSH 500 shares for a minimal gain of $11.

Also in this week, l have invested into SembCorp Marine 2 lots.  If share market weakens and l am stuck with this investment, it still gives me an annual dividend yield between 2.2% to 5% (including "usual" special dividend).

SRS - Closing Status 21 Sep

Invested into CDL Hospitality Trusts (CDL HTrust) 5 lots this week under SRS portfolio when its share price weakened slightly.  Its dividend yield is at 5.30%; which is not great but not that really bad. I did not hold on to it but selling it all away for a 0.82% yield as l was unsure whether its share price is able to go above $2 mark.

I have also sold off Hutchison Port Hldg Trust (SGD) 8 lots.  Hoping to get into HPH Trust again at below 86 cents.  

With both CDL H Trust and HPH Trust now gone so l can actually re-invest the funds.  I reckon you are actually making the SRS funds working much harder with each time of investment and divestment within very short time period, at a gain.  Having "paid" some expensive lessons (FSL Trust, Foreland Fabrictech) under Cash portfolio, the prospective stocks need to be good fundamental companies.

Cash - Closing Status 21 Sep

Received a cheque of $10 this week under Cash portfolio from Lee Metal.  This is for the 2 lots which l was unsuccessfully selling it away in Jun'12.  In latest results for 2Q12, its gross profit margin improved on a lowered revenue.  The improved gross profit margin actually helped to lift its PBIT.  With an annual dividend yield of 8.70%, l am hoping to re-invest into it if its share price visits 20 cents and lower.

SRS - Closing Status 14 Sep

Updated as of 18 Sept
Updating this post on SGX.  I am full of surprise with SGX share price strength as it closed the day at $7.19.  It is probably due to its current CD status.  Should l have hold on to SGX and waited till closer to 26 Sept when it goes XD?  This is another lesson learnt but am uncertain of a fail-proof answer to this - how to know the real strength of a company which will XD in one to two weeks time? 

As written 16 Sept
I was attracted with SGX due to its price weakness recently so, l bought 2 lots of it this week under SRS portfolio.  I have an existing 1 lot of it currently running at loss of $690.  With a total of 3 lots, target selling price to break-even is at $7.19 and l am not sure whether this is achievable.  Its share price may have weaken but l reckon l have invested into it at quite a high price level so, I have decided to sell away 2 lots in the same week itself for a gain of $83.

Divested Valuetronics 25 lots this week for a gain of $116.  Will re-invest into it again when its share price weakens to an attractive level say, below 19 cents.

Under Cash portfolio this week, l have divested Valuetronics 25 lots for a gain of $116.  Will re-invest into it again when its share price weakens to an attractive level say, below 19 cents.

The annual dividend rate on HPH Trust S$ is at 8% and l have fully divested 15 lots of it this week for gain of 1.6%.  If l am able to do a few times of reinvestment in it with a decent profit each time then the annual dividend rate of 8% is achieveable. In an uncertain world economy, it's worth investing in HPH Trust for the 8% dividend rate.  Hence l will really want to reinvest into HPH Trust when its share price weakens below 85 cents.

Invested into Wilmar 4 lots this week.  I have an existing 1 lot of Wilmar purchased in Nov'10 currently running at a huge unrealized loss of $3.1k.  Initially l have wanted to average down with the 4 lots purchased this week.  To break-even with total of 5 lots, l will need to sell all of it at $3.70 but l am unsure whether this price level is achievable due to its share price weakness in recent weeks and months.  With this l have decided to sell away the same 4 lots in this week itself at a gain of $493.

CPF - Closing Status 7 Sep

This week under CPF portfolio, l have invested into SPH 2 lots because its share price was sold down to an attractive price level.  On its dividends declared and paid last year which XD in Dec'11, the total dividends was at 17 cents (Final 9 cents + Special 8 cents).  Which means that l will need to set its exit selling price at $4.14 to get 17 cents worth of profit.  I have assumed its final (and special) dividends at this year end to match last year's rate.  As its share price moved higher, l have decided to sell 2 lots in the same week as the profit is already at around 7 cents worth of dividends.  If SPH share price weakens again then l can re-invest in it to target for the remaining dividends.

Received the CPF Investment statement from the bank this week and it showed a dividend received from SingPost for $137.50.

Under Cash portfolio this week, l have invested into Hutchison Port Hldg Trust (SGD) 15 lots.  With its annual dividend yield above 8% so even when the stock market sink and l am stuck with this investment for a long period of time, it's still worth it.  But then l will still plan and execute my exit selling price accordingly.

In this week under SRS portfolio, I have managed to sell New Toyo 18 lots of the 20 lots which l have queued.   Based on the declared dividend rate, l have set its exit selling price for a gain of around $144 (18 lots x $0.0080); and the gain of $123 is close enough.  Will re-invest into New Toyo when its share price weakens again.

Also in this week, l have invested into Hutchison Port Hldg Trust (SGD) 8 lots this week.  I am hoping to accumulate HPH Trust at lower prices.  With its annual dividend yield above 8% so even when the stock market sink and l am stuck with this investment for a long period of time, it's really worth going long with it. But  then l will still plan and execute my exit selling price accordingly.

I have sold Boustead 10 lots this week. The exit selling price is based on its last year's dividend rate of $0.02 for a gain of $200 (10 lots x $0.02)  and l have managed selling it away at slightly higher price for a gain of $234.  As the expected  XD date is around Nov'12 so, l am actually getting in advance on the dividend.

Received a cheque early this week on dividend from KSH for $25.
