My Investment Portfolio (May 2009)

STI closes above 2300 points during the last trading day of this month, with the economy still haven't showing good signs of sustainable recovery. Already, we have seen stocks rebounding strongly from their all-time lows, with some even gaining more than 100% from the bottom. Which is why staying invested throughout market cycles and consistently re-investing back into the market with spare cash every month regardless of short term market movements paid off in the long run. This is because one do not want to miss out on opportunity cost of not staying invested. Just have a plan, stick through it, diversify your portfolio and buy with a good margin of safety.

This month had been a dividend month as I have received dividends from a lot of my companies in my portfolio with financial year ending December 2008. Those dividends had been re-invested back into the market via rights issue, purchases from the market and also scrip dividend scheme. I have subscribed to Transpac Industrial Holdings, Saizen REIT and Serial Systems rights issues this month. I have also reserved some funds for the upcoming WBL Corp, KepLand, SP Ausnet and CapitaCommercial Trust rights issues. For purchases from the market, I have mostly added onto my current holdings. The changes in my top 30 holdings this month are mainly due to market price movements, with SPC among the big gainers due to the takeover announcement from PetroChina.

Looking forward, with stocks having rallied above lows, stock picks will become more critical. I will utilize more value investment technique rather than growth to pick stocks. Value can now found in the mid/small cap segment of the market, and patience is needed to buy them at decent valuation.
