The year of the dog is here and yet another month in my slow quest to reach financial independence has passed. How did the portfolio do?
In February my portfolio decreased by SGD 1,137 or 0.4% to SGD 266,090 (=USD 200,570). Fresh investments of SGD 6,271 could not compensate paper losses of SGD 7,408.
Investments vs. plan in February
I invested SGD 6,271 – just a tiny SGD 29 below the plan.
Dividends received
February is always a small month for dividends, only SGD 10 made it to my account.
Portfolio allocation
When markets went down in early February I reinvested some of the cash. Made a few hundred dollars profit, but will stick to staying the course in the future.
Hi,
Why is the investment target exceptionally high in April 2018?
Hi Dividend Warrior! Investment target for April is quite high because my yearly bonus is paid out in that month.
So important to remember that they are only paper losses for now. That’s quite a bit of cash still, are you worried that the potential picked stocks aren’t meeting your investment criteria at the moment?
