Too Big To Fail or Too Big To Bail

We will soon know whether the United States of America is too big to be allowed to fail or its debt levels already too big to bail.

No balls to enter the market now?

Or a good opportunity to enter the stock market when there are so much fear?

Also, anyone game for end of quarter window dressing thingy?

Or perhaps one could follow the flow of the water (here's the blog ---> link).

Cash - Closing Status 27 September

On Asian Pay TV this week under Cash portfolio l have both investment and divestment in it.   When its share price suddenly spiked on wednesday so l have divested 3 lots of it for $82 nett gain.  As its share price weakens l have added back 2 lots of it on friday.  So, my total holding in it now at 6 lots which can command around 10.5% dividend yield per year of passive income stream, if necessary.

Re-invested into Croesus Retail Trust 2 lots and Cache Logistics 2 lots in this week.

Received the following dividends in this week for my Cash portfolio :-
$192.00 Asian Pay TV
$15.00 Keppel Reit

Invested into UMS 20 lots in this week under Cash portfolio and it is now the second largest holding at 13% of total portfolio.   It goes XD in two weeks time on 8th Oct for the usual dividend rate at $0.01.  The relocation of majority of its operations to low cost location in Penang will likely to see positive impact to its profits in year 2014.

Invested into UMS 15 lots in this week under CPF portfolio.  It goes XD in two weeks time on 8th Oct for the usual dividend rate at $0.01.  The relocation of majority of its operations to low cost location in Penang will likely to see positive impact to its profits in year 2014.  

Divested SembCorp Industries 2 lots into strength in this week for a small profit of $35.  l have held it for period of seven months and achieved $335 total gain (dividend $300 + realized profit $35) or 3.2% returns which better than CPF ordinary account interest rate 2.5%.  


l will know the exact investment costs and divestment proceeds when the bank send the CPF Investment statement to me after month end; which l will then make necessary update to the Total Returns.

Reduced my position in Asian Pay TV 3 lots  in this week under SRS portfolio for $34 nett gain or 1.4% returns after just one week of holding period in it.  Remaining 3 lots will have a 10.8% dividend yield since l am stuck with it with at the moment.  

Invested into UMS 20 lots in this week under SRS portfolio and it is now the largest holding at 18% of total portfolio.   It goes XD in two weeks time on 8th Oct for the usual dividend rate at $0.01.  The relocation of majority of its operations to low cost location in Penang will likely to see positive impact to its profits in year 2014.

Cash - Closing Status 20 September

Increase my position in Asian Pay TV 2 lots in this week under Cash portfolio so l have total holding of 7 lots now. It is now my 4th largest holding under Cash portfolio at 9%.  If l am stuck with this investment then l can still expect 10.9% dividend yield per year.

Divested Cache Logistics 6 lots in this week after one week of investment into it for $144 nett gain.  My remaining holding in it now at 2 lots and if l am still stuck with it then l can expect 6.7% dividend yield per year.  Assuming that its next XD date and dividend rate same as last year in Oct'13 so l can expect dividend amount of $129 if l did not divest it away ---> 6 lots x dividend rate $0.02144 = $129.  The $144 nett gain is higher than the expected dividend amount of $129 and l have already collected it in advance.  Also, other than locked-in the $144 profit, the investment capital are now released back to my war chest.

Reduced  CDL Hospitality Trusts 1 lot in this week so l have remaining 2 lots of which l can expect 6.4% dividend yield per year if l continue to stuck with it.    It is paying dividends two times per year and next dividend payment date is in Feb'14.  The $22 nett gain from this divestment is about 1.4% returns over the investment costs in it and it is better than bank savings rate.  Also, it is better to lock-in some profits and re-cycle the investment capital rather than waiting for its next dividend payment happening five months later.

In this week l have utilized $25 from Cash portfolio for donation to SPCA Buy A Brick project.  l am hoping that l can continue to donate to charity of my choice and l should not let my current total paper losses deter me from doing so.

I have met with a misfortune this week when l have entered incorrect sales order quantity on Keppel Reit 2 lots which resulted in a $153 realized loss for my Cash portfolio.  This is the price that l have to pay for my carelessness.

Invested into Croesus Retail Trust 5 lots in this week under Cash portfolio.  Around 1% of leases are subjected for renewals in years 2013/2014; and 26% of leases are for renewals in year 2015.  Unless l am stuck with my investment so l do not really worry of year 2015. But then l did not expect its share price becomes quite active suddenly so l divested it all away in the same week for $53 nett gain.  Its share price gone up higher and l think it is because of speculative rotational play.  l will re-invest into it when its share price weakens again.

Did a partial divestment of Mapletree Industrial 1 lot under Cash portfolio for this week so l have remaining total holding of 1 lot of it now.  Achieved $28 nett gain and this is higher than expected dividend amount of $23 = 1 lot x dividend rate (assumed same as last year) $0.0229.  Also l have already collected it in advance instead of waiting for it to XD end Oct'13 and dividend payment date end Nov'13.  In its previous 1Q2014 results, higher rental rates was secured across all its property segments and achieving higher occupancies.  Will re-invest into it when its share price weakens.

Reduced SingPost 1 lot in this week and l am left with remaining 9 lots of it.  The $13 nett gain is same as expected dividend amount of $13 = 1 lot x dividend rate $0.0125.  I have already collected its dividend amount in advance instead of holding it till its XD date and payment date in Nov'13.

Added Sabana Reit 2 lots in this week under Cash portfolio so l have total holding of 5 lots.  But l have decided to reduce it by 4 lots in this week for $73 nett gain before its XD date.  Reason for doing so was because l prefer to lock-in the profit rather then be subjected to uncertainty of its pending lease renewals.

Will re-invest into it when its share price weakens.

SRS - Closing status 20 September

Sold away Rickmers Maritime 18 lots in this week for $120 nett profit or 2.4% returns after close to one month of holding in it.  Its next dividend will XD in Nov'13 and dividend payment will happen either in Nov'13 or Dec'13 and dividend rate likely same as previous year at USD 0.006.  Using these assumptions so l can expect dividend amount of $135 = 18 lots x USD 0.006 x fx rate (estimate) 1.25.  The $120 nett gain is $15 short from the expected dividend but l have no complain as l have already collected its dividend in advance.  Looking forward to re-invest into it again.

Divested Mapletree Commercial Trust 2 lots in this week under SRS portfolio at a nett gain of $33 or yield of 1.4% based on my investment costs in it. Assuming that its next dividend is having same XD date as last year in Nov'13 and also same dividend rate $0.01546 then the $33 nett gain is almost par to the expected dividend amount of $31 = 2 lots x dividend rate $0.01546. And l have already collected its dividend in advance in this week rather then waiting for its payment date in Nov'13.

Also divested Cache Logistics 7 lots in this week.  My holding period in it was for only one week for a $125 nett gain or 1.5% returns. If l hold it till its next XD around end of Oct'13 and its dividend payment date around end Nov'13 then l can expect to collect dividend amount $150 = 7 lots x dividend rate $0.02144 (assumed same as last year).  The $125 nett gain is lower than the expected dividend amount of $150 but l am not having any seller's remorse as l can already use the proceeds as my war chest for other investment opportunity.

Increase my position in Asian Pay TV 3 lots in this week so l have total holding of 6 lots now. It is now my 5th largest holding under SRS portfolio at 10%.

There are three winners.  Only need $1 minimal for this investment.  But must make sure it's just for fun and do not invest too much in it.  The cost of System 10 is $105; if win then it is a good investment but when it is lost then it is such a wasteful thing to do.

Let's party all the way?

Rejoice!  Stocks prices are improving but the upward swing is simply too fast and l am certain it surprises everyone.  So, when there was so much fear in the market in the last few days, what have you be doing then?  Stay invested or busy cutting losses?

Will the (bull) party continuing tomorrow and into next week(s)?  Go ahead and make your guesses.   Meanwhile just enjoy the ongoing party. 

As for me, l have been busy with capital preservation at the moment i.e. lock-in profits.  l will not subscribe to the idea of cutting losses as a way of capital preservation especially whilst the stock market is correcting.  Probably this is an odd way of capital preservation as l am certain it is not a method or strategy in any investment or trading books.  Also, l have never experience or suffer seller’s remorse before. 

However it does not mean that l am only busy lock-in profits at moment.  Need to stay invested (in any bull or bear market situation) so l have made some new investments as well today.

There are no short on both nice and nasty surprises in every corner of the stock market.   Soon someone will come along to hype about  historical market crashes during October month, US debt ceiling etc etc 

Must remember to preserve investment capital and building up your war chest.

Buy A Brick

Donated $25 to Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals - Buy-a-Brick

Description :-


In December 2014, we will be making a big move to our new home in Choa Chu Kang. We are undertaking an essential rebuild of our animal adoption shelter to create a new facility that will allow us to house more dogs, cats, rabbits and other animals in comparison to our existing compound. To enable us to provide better care for the animals, our new home will include a rehabilitation centre, an animal therapy pool, an exercise and agility course for our animals, socialisation areas for prospective adopters and animals, and an area specially designed for our education programmes.

The new premises will mirror nature's organic structure through an extensive water feature which doubles up as a reservoir and a filtration system to recycle rain water for washing our kennels. The shelter grounds will be greener with trees and plants that are important to our animals' spiritual and emotional comfort.

So, help us build our new home by buying a brick.

Perhaps l really need broker assistance with orders

I have Keppel Reit 3 lots in my Cash portfolio.  l have queued to sell 1 lot with my exit selling price for a nett gain better than bank savings rate.  But right now (11.30pm) as l reviewed the sell orders filled today l got a rude shock as there was a duplicate sell order, filled as well which was a mistake.  The one l have sold by error today has a higher investment cost to it so l have ended up poorer by $153 on sell order mistake on Keppel Reit.

List of silly mistakes :-

Mar'12 - Advanced Holdings

Oct'12 - 2^nd Chance

Jan'13 - SingPost

Sep'13 - Keppel Reit


Silly mistakes happened twice in 2012. 
Now in 2013, silly mistakes happened twice.... so far. 
Oh please, no more!!!

Panic buying into stocks

There is a clear herd mentality as we see a frenzy buy orders pushing up stock prices this morning.  This is not a totally wrong decision to make but it is probably important that it should be planned ahead if you want to have peace of mind.  As for me, l already have some sell orders filled this morning as l have already set the exit selling prices.  Seller's remorse?  This will not happen to me even when the prices continue to climb higher as l have already locked-in the profit and l can use the proceeds for other investment opportunities.  Will l place buy orders today?  Yes. In any market conditions l stayed invested.  But l will not chase after the rising prices.

Cash - Closing Status 13 September

Added Sabana Reit 2 lots right after it announced a successful private placement in this week.  So my total holding in it now at 3 lots under my Cash portfolio.  An advance distribution of $0.022 was declared which is expiring on 19 Sept.  Depending on how its share price perform next week,  l will probably do a partial divestment for a nett profit better than bank savings rate (of say, 0.8%) hopefully before its XD date; otherwise l will have to keep it for 8.5% dividend yield per year.

Sold away Rickmers Maritime 18 lots in this week for $64 nett profit or 1.3% returns after three weeks of holding in it.  My original exit selling price was for another $0.05 and l have been in the sell queue for almost three weeks doing so.  Finally, l have decided to settle for an easier exit selling price and immediately since then l have been in the buy queue for one week now for a re-investment. 

With first dividend payment only to happen around March 2014, l have sold away OUE HTrust 1 lot for $16 nett gain or 1.8% returns.  Will re-invest into it at lower price level or during its dividend payment time.

Received the following dividends in this week for my Cash portfolio :-
$114.00 Far East HTrust

After one week's of investment into CapitaCommercial Trust 1 lot, l have sold it away for $28 nett gain or 2.2% returns.  Will consider taking a small investment into it again when its share price weakens. 

Divested CapitaRetail Trust 1 lot for $18 nett gain or 1.3% returns.  Even though it is a small realized gain but l am happy with it as it's a short investment duration of one week.  As with any divestments, it will make available more funds for next investment opportunity.

Added Cache Logistics 6 lots under Cash portfolio in this week.  It is now my 3rd largest holding at 12% of total Cash portfolio and my total holding in it now at 8 lots.  In just one week of investment into the additional 6 lots, l got poorer by 1.4% (over my investment costs in it) or -$96.  If l am stuck with this investment (of 8 lots total holding) then l can expect getting 7.2% dividend yield per year.  

Increase my position in Asian Pay TV 1 lot in this week so l have total holding of 5 lots now.  It is now at its lowest share price level since IPO (on 29 May'13).  l will continue to accumulate at lower share price levels.  At the moment, l can expect 10.4% dividend yield for my 5 lots holding in it.

Reduced Ascott Reit 1 lot in this week.  So my total holding in it now back to 1 lot.  For this divestment (under one week of investment duration) l have achieved $34 nett gain or 2.8% returns.  At Friday's close, its share price is only $0.03 away from its 52 weeks low.  Will try to re-enter into it, soon.

Sold away Ascendas Reit 2 lots at $81 nett gain; under one week of re-investment into it.  Projected next dividend amount at $71 = 2 lots x dividend rate (assumed same as last year) $0.0353 so the $81 nett gain came in slightly higher.  With this divestment l do not have to wait till its next XD date in Oct'13 and l have already collected its dividends in advance by around three months as payment expected to happen in Nov'13.     

Re-invested into Cache Logistics 7 lots under SRS portfolio after having divested it away last week.  It is now my 2nd largest holding at 13% of total SRS portfolio and it caused me poorer by 1.5% (over my investment costs in it) or -$121 at the end of this week.  If l am stuck with this investment then l can expect getting 7.4% dividend yield per year. 

Divested CM Pacific 5 lots so my remaining total holding in it now at 3 lots.  Achieved 2.2% returns or $91 nett gain over a holding period of 1.5 months.  It is having CD status at the moment and XD will happen on 18 October.  If its share price weakens again then l will definitely re-invest into it.  l am curious of next action plan after its failed disposal of its property development business in New Zealan and failed acquisition of Jiurui Expressway.

Invested Sabana Reit 3 lots right after it announced a successful private placement in this week.  An advance distribution of $0.022 was declared which is expiring on 19 Sept.  Depending on how its share price perform next week,  l will probably divest it away for a nett profit better than bank savings rate (of say, 0.8%) hopefully before its XD date; otherwise l will have to keep it for 8.5% dividend yield per year.

Reduced Far East Hospitality Trust 1 lot so l have total holding of 6 lots now; for a $16 nett gain. Based on previous week's investment costs in it so it's a 1.8% returns.  For the remaining 6 lots holding l can expect 5.9% dividend yield per year, as "forced" passive income stream with the chance of collecting its dividends in advance now much reduced due to current uncertain economic growth globally and Middle East conflict.

Invested into CapitaRetail Trust 1 lot in this week under Cash portolfio.  Its share price is very near to its 52 weeks low which was last established 25 June.  And during that time its share price recovered to end July by 8.5%.  Will its share price making the same recovery in the next one month; no can tell for sure.  Based on my investment costs in it l can expect 7.0% dividend yield per year.

Invested into CapitaCommercial Trust 1 lot in this week under Cash portfolio which is an all-Singapore based investment properties.  Ongoing asset enhancements for its properties (Capital Tower, Six Battery Road, Raffles City Tower) will see increases in future DPU, usually.  Based on my investment costs in it l can expect 6.0% dividend yield per year.


Divested Perennial China Retail Trust 2 lots for a $25 nett gain. Based on previous week's investment costs in it so it's a 2.4% returns.  This is a much higher returns when comparing to bank savings rate for an investment amount of $1k over one week duration. Will re-invest into it when its share price weakens further.

Bid goodbye to Sin Ghee Huat 3 lots in this week under my cash portfolio for a $61 nett gain.  It goes XD on 29 Oct and payment date 14 Nov so l have already collected its dividends ahead by two months.  Expected dividend amount is $54 = 3 lots x dividend rate $0.018 so the $61 nett gain is much higher.

Earlier part of the week l have divested Ascendas Reit 2 lots at $81 nett gain; under one week of investment into it.  Projected next dividend amount at $71 = 2 lots x dividend rate (assumed same as last year) $0.0353 so the $81 nett gain came in slightly higher.  With this divestment l do not have to wait till its next XD date in Oct'13 and l have already collected its dividends in advance by around three months as payment expected to happen in Nov'13.  And l can already re-cycle the proceed for my next investment.    

Later part of the week l have re-invested into Ascendas Reit 2 lots.  Its new property building in Fusionopolis already achieved a pre-commitment for 58.3% of the lettable space. Another 16.2% of the lettable space is under advanced negotiation.  So can it can expect more revenue in the near future.  If l am stuck with this investment then based on my investment costs in it then l can expect a 6.3% dividend yield per year from it.  As usual, l am eyeing an exit selling price equal to its next dividend payment in Nov'13.

Received bank statement in this week for my SRS portfolio and there were records of dividends in it for August month :-

$216.40 CDL Hospitality Trusts
$108.00 Mapletree Logistics
$100.00 Sembcorp Marine
$62.50 SingPost
$50.00 Tat Hong

Divested away Cache Logistics 3 lots in this week under SRS portfolio at $47 nett gain.  Assuming that dividend rate same as last year, l have actually managed to collect 73% of it ---> 3 lots x dividend rate $0.02144 x 73% = $47.  Anyway l am still happy with the $47 nett gain as it is a 1.4% returns of my investment costs in it for a duration of two weeks which is better than bank savings rate . Hoping to re-invest into it soon.

CPF - Closing Status 6 September

Divested First Reit 2 lots in this week under CPF portfolio at a nett gain of $37; under one week of investment into it.  Projected next dividend amount at $34 = 2 lots x dividend rate (assumed same as last year) $0.0168 so the $37 nett gain almost matched it.  With this divestment l do not have to wait till its next XD date in Nov'13 and l have already collected its dividends in advance by around four months as payment expected to happen in Dec'13.  And l can already re-cycle the proceed for my next investment.

In the CPF Investment statement received from the bank in this week, l have received the following dividends in August month :-
$100.00 Sembcorp Marine
$100.00 SingPost
$387.00 SPH

Added Mapletree Industrial 3 lots in this week so my total holding in it now at 6 lots.  Based on my total investment costs in it so l can expect 7.2% dividend yield per year.  It has staggered debt maturity profile which provides protection from rising interest rates in the next 12 to 18 months.   Anyway, l am always looking for an opportunity to collect its dividends in advance and l am hopping that this is happening soon. Otherwise 7.2% dividend yield will be equally good when l am stuck with this investment in a bear market.

Divested away AIMS AMP Industrial Reit 1 lot in this week under Cash portfolio for a $28 nett gain after 1 week of investment into it.  Assuming that its next dividend rate same as last year at $0.025 and payment date around 20 Dec so the $28 nett gain was slightly higher than the expected dividend amount  ---> 1 lot x dividend rate $0.025 x 1.11 times.  And l have already collected the dividends in advance by almost four months and also l can re-use the proceeds for other investment opportunity.

Added Ascott Reit 1 lot in this week.  So my total holding in it now at 2 lots.   Based on my investment costs in it l can expect a 6.9% dividend yield if l am really stuck with my investment in it.

Donated $25 to Equal Ark in this week

My investment increased in Far East Hospitality Trust 1 lot so l have total holding of 7 lots now.  Based on my investment cost in it l can expect 6.0% (based on run rate) of annual dividend from it.  This Trust is all-Singapore based hotels and serviced residences so it will be interesting to see how well it can withstand the ongoing adverse micro and macro events locally and globally.


Re-invested into First Reit 1 lot in this week under Cash portfolio after having divested it away in the previous week with nett gain higher than the forecasted dividend payment in Nov'13.  I did the same for this week.  I have divested my 1 lot holding in the same week for $25 nett gain versus expected dividend payment in Nov'13 of $17 (1 lot x dividend rate $0.0168).  So l have collected its dividend in advance by three months and at a higher amount too.  It is very important to set an exit selling price and l have attained peace of mind with my stock investment.

Invested into K-Green Trust 1 lot in this week and it comes with an annual dividend yield of 7.7% based on my investment costs in it.  Its current businesses have been locally based so far.  Having gut feeling that it will spread its wings to Asia Pacific and Europe soon.  It will be confirmed once there is new  company incorporation.

Received the following dividends in this week for my Cash portfolio :-
$40.81 Ascott Reit
$42.94 Cache Logistics
$108.20 CDL Hospitality Trusts
$39.40 Keppel Reit
$112.45 Suntec Reit

It must have been hasty move when l have invested into KrisEnergy 2 lots in this week without further verifying on its potential dividend payout;  which l later found out that they do not have intention to pay any dividend.  l was lucky to have been able to divest it away for a $38 nett gain.  I am not into trading or speculation and also not so keen with growth stock so l am depending on reasonably good dividend stock.

Added Mapletree Industrial 1 lot under Cash portfolio for this week so l have total holding of 2 lots of it now.  In its recent 1Q2014 results, it reported higher distributable income which was higher by 9% versus year ago because of higher rental rates secured across all its property segments and achieving higher occupancies.  Based on my investment costs in it l will be getting dividend yield 7.1% per year.

Invested into OUE HTrust 1 lot.  Using dividend rate $0.0477 ( for 9 months financial) from its IPO prospectus and based on my investment costs in it so l can expect annual dividend yield of promising an annual dividend yield of 7.4%.  First dividend payment will happen some time March 2014.  l am eyeing an advance dividend from it, probably using a few round of investments and divestments.

To diversify further, for this week under Cash portfolio l have invested into Perennial China Retail Trust 2 lots.  If l hold it for long term then l can expect 7.5% dividend yield per year based on my investment costs in it.

I am not sure whether it was a risky decision when l have invested into Sabana Reit 1 lot in this week.  At the moment there is no new development yet on the four master leases expiring in Nov'13.  I am hoping that it will not materially affecting my expectation of 8.2% dividend yield per year based on my investment costs in it.     

Allocated a small investment funds into Sin Ghee Huat 2 lots in this week.  My total holding in it now at 3 lots.  It reported poorer results versus year ago recently but l will not be worrying so much of it.  Its business served five segments :- marine and shipbuilding, oil and gas and petrochemicals, building and construction, machining and processing, and trading and others so there will always be opportunities out there for it.  I am eyeing an advance dividends from it as l have already set an exit selling price for it.
