Invest Fair 2019

So the company participated in this year's Invest Fair 2019.

It was a very successful event and it was much more crowded than I remembered it last year.

More importantly, we were given several speaker slots and I took up one of them to speak about the US markets.

It was quite a nervous and thrilling experience speaking to a public audience about the markets. Normally my only public gigs were on my pet topics of management, hiring, online trading or FinTech expertise. See this.

Seemed like it all went pretty well!

My Saxo P&L 2019 July

It's been another terrible month.

The prophecy is real. Everything that I am investing in just ends up in losses.

This month its been the AUDSGD. Just can't seem to get my timing right. Should I even be timing my FX trades?

Terrible.

Just look at it, EVERY single asset class I've touched has turned red! EVERY SINGLE ONE!

I should just stop gambling so that I flat-line my losses to what it is today.

And yet how can I resist?

2019 Dividend Accumulator July

Yet another bumper month for me! This is an all-time record high for me, which makes me so proud!

Was expecting a big flow of dividends from my four 2X Leverage mREIT positions and boy was I not disappointed!

Much of my cash is currently deployed with only about 4% cash. The world is still uncertain and there has been a bit of volatility heading into the weekend.

Hopefully not much disturbance to my distributions.

The 20 Habits Of Eventual Millionaire

This makes a ton of sense.

I hope I will be a millionaire soon :)

Foreign Property

Recently, it was reported in the news that Singapore could hit past 40deg Celcius in 20 years time.

This was quite alarming for me as I am a very strong believer that climate change and global warming are both changing the way we live, and more importantly, the way our children will live in the future.

That was when I thought it'd be a good idea to start hunting for foreign property.

My preferred locations would be either in Australia or New Zealand.

Currently, Australia stands out because the SGD is at an all time high against the AUD. (SGD 0.95 = AUD 1). Also, Perth is a really nice and pleasant city, that is only 4hrs flight from Singapore.

The hunt begins now.

Bicentennial Note

As part of Singapore's Bicentennial celebrations, the MAS released a new and very nice $20 note.

Manage to buy on off a colleague for cost price.

Can't really show the note but this is the cover.

It makes a really nice souvenir, and likely will appreciate in price in the future.

My Saxo P&L 2019 June

It's been a relatively dormant month.

After the trauma of the last few months continuously bleeding away, I'm glad I'm finally seeing the rub of some green, even if it is a small amount.

Hopefully the second half of the year will be kinder and more prosperous for me!

Towards better returns in 2019!
