Today I disposed of ALL my Ezion holdings holdings.
It was A LOT of shares.
Plus I disposed of them at the day's low in the morning open.
At 0.071.
That's a huge realized loss for me.
I had a really hard think over the weekend about my holdings and how long I wanted to keep them.
In the end, better to cut my losses and pour all the remaining proceeds into growing my passive income portfolio.
Read how it all began here.
Been taking in a lot of losses lately.
Have to stem the tide.
Have to remain optimistic.
Have to reverse the trend.
HUAT AH!!!

First Berserker Rage Of 2018
Goodness.
I thought I wouldn't repeat this mistake ever.
I guess I was wrong.
I wanted to make a quick buck.
Funded $5,000 into my IG Market account.
It is such a gambling platform.
First trade, long GBPUSD, tried out 200,000 leveraged value trade. Hit my 15pip stop loss. Lost $400.
Second trade, short GBPUSD, maxed out 300,000 leveraged value trade. Hit my 20pip stop loss. Lost $600.
Third trade, short GBPUSD, maxed out 300,000 leveraged value trade. Hit my 20pip stop loss. Lost $600.
Withdrew funds of $3,400.
Total loss: $1,600.
In 2 hours.
Hate this FX shit.
Sigh.

Opened Position In Cryptocurrency Once More
Recently all cryptocurrencies have taken a huge beating. Bitcoin has dropped significantly from the giddy highs of $19K+ to the current $6K+.
I thought this was a good chance to get back into the cryptocurrency game.
I've always preferred Ethereum as an investment compared to Bitcoin.
So recently went in small into Ethereum Tracker ETF XBTE once more.
HUAT AH!

Long Facebook (FB) - Position Closed And Why 030818
So I blogged about taking a long position on FB just a few days ago.
You can read it here.
I also took a fairly large position using CFDs and that made the risk of holding the position very high. Firstly, on a 1:10 leverage, my losses would definitely exceed my base capital if FB continued to plummet. SEcondly, I was paying a very high cost of 3+%PA of CFD Financing. CFD Financing is the interest to be paid on the nominal value of the position when it is being held.
So I was holding a 500 FB share position with an average price of approximately USD$173. This meant that if I had to buy the actual stock, my investment commitment would have been $86,500. But using CFDs, I only needed a margin of $8,650 to open the position. CFD Financing worked out to about $10 per day, which is quite high.
As such, if I had, say, exactly $8,650 in my account (I'd be at 100% margin and Saxo risk management system would NEVER allow this without stopping me out), another 10% drop in FB stock price would simply wipe me out completely to $0.
Over the few days that I've held the stock, thankfully FB price went up. Eventually I closed it on Friday evening at a price of $178, earning about $5 X 500 = $2,500.
Not too shabby, but mainly to de-risk.
A good profit nonetheless!

Long Facebook (FB)
So the biggest news of last week was Facebook (FB) dropping almost 20% last week due to poor expected growth.
You can read all about it from so many various sources here, here and here.
For me, I came back in the evening and surfed through my Facebook news feed and then came across the famous Sean Seah of Value Investing College doing a live broadcast in a car about Facebook. He strongly recommends it and I really bought into his rationale of wide moat, growth forecast and the generally broad idea that no other company can replicate its current business model.
Immediately after that, I logged into my SaxoTrader account and bought Facebook at 176.75.
This position is suffering a slight loss right now, but let's see if we will see a relief rally or a further selldown in the coming week.
Fingers crossed!
HUAT AH!!!

AKB48 Teaches Trading
So I was in the Tokyo office and flipping through the Japanese investment magazines.
Chanced upon this regular column where members of the popular Japanese girl band AKB48 teaches readers how to run different stock portfolios.
So sexy.
