Portfolio corrected much this month. REITs came down and then pulled back up on last few days, on speculation of US interest rate cut.
Tried my first US market trade, entered GOOGL small. Cashed out with a little profit but not sure if diluted due to exchange rate.
Biggest bets now are on top glove and UMS...
Hoping to exit UMS with a profit. Breakeven at 1.44, if can hit 1.45 and above before the ex bonus issue I think should be OK.
Top glove announced results this month and planned to increase capacity to meet rising demand, hopefully it can rise up on par with previous price when it was previously running at this capacity. Plan to exit 22.5 or 23 depending on market sentiment.
Wrapping off the year, I'm kind of mixed with my results. Disappointed in some of my emotional trades, which I hope to reduce such next year. Also to learn cut and reduce, so even if I FOMO-ed in a stock and it starts trending down I know I can cut and reduce to average down the price. I think a lot of my fear is because I am blankly staring at my prices fall and yet don't dare to do anything.
Saving grace is - I managed to sustain my portfolio above 80k! Which is encouraging start for me, so now I need to maintain this level while aiming for 90k.
Coming 2026, I shall start to cash out all my CDP and pump more into the trading acct, maybe leave a 10k portfolio inside to reap dividends and such. Otherwise, to cash in on the stock market I need to be more heavily vested in the trading portfolio.
