When "huat kueh" becomes "ang ku kueh"


Dear STI continues its downward spiral today.

My "huat kueh" (those on paper gains last month) have became "ang ku kueh". Sigh.

SG Portfolio down 9% to date  :(

I wonder will they flatten some more to become prata.


I bet they will be real "tasty" then. Can gobble and grow fat from all that oil yield. (REIT buffet anyone?)

That's provided they don't do drastic payout cut.


It's not too difficult to make Ang Ku Kueh I realized. I meant the real ones here.




Jokes aside.

It's really no fun to see US stocks bungee jumped. If you thought the blue chips are bad, wait till you see this...

Gap

Gap

More gap


*Gasp*


There has simply been too much euphoria fueling the market for too long, now it's losing air like an over-inflated balloon. 

For the noobs, yes, this is how scary market crashes can be.

Did some swing trade set ups, hope they will pan out well.

Some facts on (Saxo) trading I have learnt:
  • Tencent holding is considered a different "stock class" and cost USD25 per trade on SAXO instead of the usual USD4+
  • VIX cannot be shorted
  • Futures cannot use CFD

Watching the RSI and volume may prove to be useful for momentum.

    Rainbow girl,

    Mock your head! (I slap your forehead)


    I don't mock; I poke.


    What's the difference?

    My poke is like when you with your jie-meis, see a cute looking guy, you poke your friend, "Look! Look! 小鲜肉!"

    Or when your friend driving you home, you notice he dozing off or getting distracted... Poke. "Eh, traffic ahead!"


    I gentle already. In Zen training, the master will carry a big stick and when he sees student monks meditating and dozing off, whack!

The best credit card for my new house renovation

As updated in my previous post, I have finally bought my own place. For the past few months I have been busy coordinating with various contractors and vendors for my house renovation. As I am still on A flexi work schedule, I decided to be my own ID. With only a simple renovation plan in mind, I set my reno budget at $20,000 (aircon & fixtures inclusive). The renovation process and acting as my own ID were not as easy as I thought. It took me about a month to gather and compare quotations from different contractors and another few weeks to finalize all the things that I need my chosen contractor to do. I eventually settled for a main contractor who specializes in carpentry work but also provides painting, tiling and electrical services. I have grossly underestimated the amount of defects that need fixing for this resale flat. Fortunately, the floor tiles and some of the existing built-ins are still in good condition so I kept them, otherwise I would have burst my budget. The first ...

Reflections for year 2024

2024 has been a relatively peaceful year. So peaceful that I have read countless novels and other books, met my sports buddies almost every weekend and picked up horticulture. Physical and mental health As we say, health is wealth. I have stuck fairly consistently with my exercise regime and tried to include more fruits and vegetables in my meals (although I eat out more and cook less these days). My weight, BP and cholesterol levels are doing ok. For those 40 years and above, remember to get your  subsidized health screenings from the government . Working less and meeting up with friends more contributed to an improved mental health. I see that the government has stepped up on initiatives in the community but work place initiatives from employers still seemed lackluster, especially for those who can't WFH and need to commit 44 hours or more a week at frontline work. I have also started a Gratitude journey to celebrate all my little life milestones. Financials Investment wise ...

Shit happens and I lost my low-hanging fruits

My POSB SAYE account just hit its 25th month —the much-anticipated “month of maturity.” I was all ready to enjoy the 3.5% bonus interest I’d patiently saved for… only to receive a measly $17+ cash gift instead of a few hundred dollars. I was about to send a message to query the bank what caused this interest drop versus what I have gotten on the 13th month. Confused, I double checked my account history and— gasp! —found a single $50 transfer I’d made to a joint account in one of the past months. I hadn’t even realized that I’d chosen the SAYE account as the fund transfer source. For those unfamiliar with the T&Cs of POSB SAYE: “To receive the additional 3.5% p.a. Cash Gift Interest, ensure that you do not make any withdrawal from your POSB SAYE account.”   “If a withdrawal is made in the month, this will result in the previously accumulated additional 3.5% p.a. interest to be forfeited.” Yes, one tiny transfer = months of bonus interest gone . Even depositing it back the...
