Third Berserker Rage of 2021

 This one is really bad.

The worst of this year.

I got caught up in the recent Crypto volatility. 

Particularly when Saxo just launched its Crypto-currency FX offerings.

ETH went absolutely crazy over the course of one trading session, at one point dropping more than 40% in value!

I shorted, then longed, then shorted again. All died in the wrong directions amidst the whipsaws. 

Then I decided to make it back with the NASDAQ100 CFD Index trading and lost even more there. 

In all I lost 9k from my earlier crypto losses plus that night's crazy swings.

Sad. 

I really need to stop this shit.

Top Gainers & Losers 2021 April

Another similar month. 

The biggest change in on the biggest Gainers front where my NASDAQ gains totally got crushed by another berserker rage incident. 

This left my 3rd best gainer of the year to be a lousier number from my SembCorp Marine profits.

No change to the Losers.

My Saxo P&L 2021 April

April's turned out pretty good for me with a GREEN number finally. 

Sadly I'm not really in much mood since I'm blogging this April positive numbers on the back on knowing my May figures are the worst for the year.

Stay tuned for the May update bah.

:(

Windfall II

 Again still awaiting my bounty.

What a long wait its been, but this Friday should be the big day.

I've worked really hard for this.

And still I haven't got anything really set, although I have a rough idea of how to apportion my funds.

1/4 will go to immediate family (there's a lot to dole out).

1/4 I will save for taxation purposes.

1/2 will be for investments.

Of the potential investments, I have more or less made up my mind to lock them in to REITs.

Hopefully it will pay off.

Top Gainers & Losers 2021 March

 Hmm.

March was very similar to February. As you can see here.

I haven't been making very big trades, so not much P/L to crow about. 

Couldn't deliver much to break into either of the Top 3s.

That might be a good thing actually.

My Saxo P&L 2021 March

 March was a really poor month for me yet again. 

The early month gambling on indices basically got me into a hole I couldn't get out of.

That said, the rest of the month turned out rather OK IMHO.

I'm trying to be more disciplined not and follow my subscription sifu's trades.

Hopefully that pays off much better in the longer term.

To a good April!

HUAT AH

Windfall

 Will be getting a little bit of a windfall this April end.

Have been deliberating about how I should invest it wisely, so that I won't end up squandering it all, as I have done many a times in my last almost 20 years working career :'(

I could jolly well leave it all in a Fixed Deposit.

I could max it out in either the OCBC 365 or UOB One accounts which pay around 1.2% p.a.

I could put it all in a 3% p.a. yielding Bond.

I could YOLO it all into Bitcoin or Tesla.

I could buy a few REITs that pay me 5-6%  p.a. in yield.

Already have a rough idea of what I will do, but since it is still about 4 weeks away, I can still have a deeper think into what I'd do.

Hopefully I will keep a hold of it wisely.

Top Gainers & Losers 2021 February

 Yeah I know we are at the tailend of March.

Still, this has a good indication of where I'm killing myself a lot.

My index trading has made it to BOTH gainers and losers again. It shows how volatile trading on CFD Indexes really is. Hopefully the last few weeks has shown that I am capable of stopping this really bad gambling habit.

All other gainers and lowers have remained in similar values. I doubt I will deliberately trade them to change those values (because I could easily just do that with the CFD indexes :P)

Well hopefully the losers will stay this way OR improve, while the gainers will continue to climb higher and higher.

My Saxo P&L 2021 February

 February was a good month for me. 

I managed to claw a little bit of green back.

That said, it was still very speculative in nature and very luck-based.

I really have to stop all this speculative bullshit because I am only losing money because of this.

Take a look at March numbers.

Booooooooooooo!
