A volatile month... but STI found good grounding as global monies found its way here as a safe haven amidst the volatility. Tariff truce reaching deadlines and markets rushed to stamp deals with US much to Trump's delight.
I played more trading this month, and I guess I did make some comebacks, probably because my portfolios found rock bottom. Many stocks shot up as speculated stocks to benefit from MAS EQDP fund injection.This month AI stocks were oversold, they could pullback sometime soon. Entered UMS in FOMO and out with a small profit. Likewise for Nanofilm, and I by a stroke of luck, held on to Keppel DC REIT.
Now I cashed out some of my stocks, time to shop for new ones to ride the wave.
On the investing front, I didn't do much. REITs carried my portfolio up, thanks to research houses upselling them as resilient markets. Pulled back a bit on the last day of the month.
August is traditionally a good month to collect dividends, but sadly I had moved some of my portfolio to trading so I don't think I will receive that much dividend this month. Will continue to focus on swing trading if possible.
