July Transaction Update

July is over. Its time to update my portfolio performance again. Before doing so, lets take a look at our STI first.

Thanks to YZJ and GLP, STI ended 103.04 points or 3.19% higher to 3329.52 in July 2017. Very sad that in fact I bought both YZJ and GLP previously at a very low price, and sold with very little gain. This is another evidence that I am bad at trading, and I should learn how to hold my stocks and just monitor its business instead of its price movement.

I sold OKP as stated in my previous review after the accident, and loss more than 1,200 within a month. After that I also sold my Design Studio away, as the result is quite disappointing, but this transaction I made a small profit (dividend excluded).

I tried to sell my tat seng pkg as I want to lock my profit, but I failed to sell all my shares away, and only 900 shares were purchased by someone after 5pm. Which means that for that 900 shares I earned less than 100 dollars but have to pay my broker 25. Ouch, next time must remember to withdraw my orders before 5pm, especially for this kind of illiquid counter. I am planning to sell half of my holdings, as the MACD is crossing down. 

I injected 17,374.25 into my portfolio in July, although I don't have any plan to purchase any counter yet. But I think it is good for me to put the cash into my account as I will try to save harder. 

Conclusion, July is a good month but my portfolio's return is even lower than 1% ): Hope August reports can make me feel happier! 

Btw I just bought this book - The Investment Checklist from Kinokuniya. I just started reading, but I think it is a good book for long term investor! Hope the ROI of the book is good! 

Thanks for reading!
