My Investment Portfolio (October 2013)
STI closed at around 3210 points by the end of October 2013. Although it seems that STI had gained some ground this month as the US government shutdown issue had been deferred further, it is really a bad month for retail investors in Singapore. This is because of the meltdown of the penny stock segment of the market, mainly due to the trading curbs imposed by broking firms on the now infamous trio of designated counters. Chaos were witnessed by me personally at the cashier of a broking house, where investors have to queue to place cash upfront in order to buy those designated stocks. Contra losses were aplenty, with punters trying their luck again at these speculative counters even after their designated status were lifted. It had been an eye opening experience for me indeed as a full-time investor.
For this month, I have attended the following AGMs/EGMs/briefings - VARD Holdings, Cacola, Oxley, CH Offshore, Hai Leck, ASL Marine, Boardroom, K1 Ventures, China Yuanbang, Spindex, Chosen, Micro-Mechanics, GRP, Westminster Travel, Goodpack and FJ Benjamin.
For my top 30 holdings, Sarin Technologies is now my top holding after its good share price performance this month. Other major movers include UIS (which majority shareholder UOB and related parties wanted to initiate an EGM to liquidate the closed end fund), Superbowl (which Hiap Hoe is making a general offer to acquire the company) and Hiap Hoe (re-entered my top 30 holdings list after they made a general offer to acquire Superbowl, subjected to approval by shareholders of the company).
I have bought the following companies from the market this month - Chosen, GP Batteries, Hoe Leong, IFS, LC Developments, Lion AsiaPac, Singapore Reinsurance, Tat Seng and Zagro Asia. There is no sale done this month.
I have accepted the following voluntary delisting/cash offers this month - Armstrong and Superior Multi-Packaging. I have also participated in the following scrip dividend scheme - Freight Links.
I have subscribed to the following rights issues - Grand Banks, ISDN and Xpress.
November 2013 is expected to be a quiet month for me, except for a few EGMs and AGMs for companies with financial year ending July/August 2013. I will seek to re-invest some of those proceeds from Armstrong and Superior Multi-Packaging delisting. I will also attempt to take a closer look at my portfolio and catch up with some readings of investment books and periodicals.

Can u advise me on Japan Land? I think I still have 1 lot but I have no idea what I am suppose to do.
Hi Jay,
The company is still under liquidation. Yes, it had been taking longer than what I had expected but we just have to wait and see how it goes.
I don't think shareholders will get much after liquidation.
Hi ghchua, I really admire your strategy, wish that I know you in real person and can talk about stock market.
Hi Littlepipi88,
We can always have a discussion here on the stock market too! Hope to hear from you soon.
Hi, based on your strategy, would you be willing to share what is your gains year to date; what would be your compounded annual growth rate for the past 3 years and 5 years?
Hi itsjustagame,
I didn't compute my P&L and therefore I could not put it up here. As I've explained before, putting up my P&L requires a big effort. I have around 500+ stocks and I have to track all the dividend payouts, rights issues, bonus issues, share consolidation, stock spilt, stock purchases/sale etc to come out with an accurate number so as not to mislead my readers.
I prefer to focus on my process rather than looking at returns. I strongly believe that if I get my process right, the returns will take care of itself.
Hi gh chua , I like your blog. Did u attend any stock courses before? Any to recommend?
Hi Lynn K,
Thanks for supporting my blog!
Nope. I didn't attend any stock investing courses before. I did attend some seminars but I mostly read investment books/periodicals to self-learn. Of course, nothing beats the experience of investing directly into the market yourself.
