CPF - Closing Status 8 Feb

The buyin on SingPost 1lot happened on 4 Feb at $1.22 and the price range on that day was $1.20-$1.21; so buyin price is not part of the price range for the day.

Luckily the $1k penalty charge is waived.  Applying the oversold 1lot cost of $1310.66 against the the proceed of $1215.79 so l ended up with a nett loss of $94.87.  Oh man, this is really a waste of my money.  Any take away lesson?  I was hoping that silly mistake like this one on SingPost whereby l have entered an incorrect selling quantity can be avoided but l am just like a magnet attracting all these unwelcome silly mistakes every now and then.

For my CPF portfolio this week l have bought Ascott Reit 7 lots.  l see huge growth potential in Ascott Reit.  As Europe economy is still in shambles, it is making use of this time frame to do some asset enhancements works there. I have recently invested into Ascott Reit under SRS portfolio but l have sold it all away within the same week as l have seen a consistent huge sell volume at $1.42 price level back then and l do not know the reason behind it.  In the immediate following Monday Ascott announced that there is a private placement to raise funds for growth opportunities; the private placement was successful at a discount price at $1.305.  Innocent and normal (retail) investor will not have access info to this private placement at a discount price.  Take away lesson is that there have been a consistent sell volume at a particular selling price level before and after Ascott announced a good set of financial results and declared a higher dividend rate so, something is really amiss and hence there is need to be on constant alert and not be overly relying on fundamentals or charts.
