My Saxo P&L 2019

Sadly, this year's performance is in stark contrast to last year's performance.

Have achieved losses of approximately SGD13.4K this year.

You can also see my 2018, 2017 and 2016 performance on this account.

My most profitable products were GBPUSD, GBPUSD Options and USDJPY.

My least profitable products were HSI CFDs, Tesla CFDs and S&P500 Index CFDs.

It's been tough when the US stock market is near all-time highs while my investing and trading portfolio is so red.

Hopefully I can buck this trend in 2020 and much much more money instead.

My Saxo P&L 2019 December

December has been a continuation of November's red mess.

In fact I stopped by the second half of this month so that I won't lose even more money.

Nothing much left to say.

Just look at that red downslope on the right.

Here's to a greener 2020 for this account.

2019 Dividend Accumulator Full Year

What a stellar year 2019 has been on this front.

I've finally seen some real serious passive income coming from this stream which I've worked hard to achieve. Considering how I've mismanaged so much of my funds in the last two decades, here's hoping that this new decade will ring in a much greater positive return for me. This year, I've managed an enormous annual dividends collected at almost SGD7K! Which is way above my 2019 resolution to achieve $500/mth passive income!

Here's my https://siglapscrapbook.blogspot.com/2019/12/2019-dividend-accumulator-december.html performance which was another good monthly one. The bumper month was actually October 2019 when I actually achieved more than SGD1K in dividends in a single month!

Just a quick recap, in 2019, my total portfolio achieved the following:

Total Dividends for 2019: $6,998.96
Average per Month: $583.25
Total number of stock counters holding now: 25
- Singapore (6)
- Hong Kong (1)
- US (17)
- Australia (5)
- Japan (0)
- Germany (0)
- UK (1)

So here's another pat on the back for myself.

Hopefully I can achieve much more in 2020.

My Saxo P&L 2019 November

And as if a nasty rebuke to my stellar October performance on this account, my November performance went so deep in the red it was crazy.

It wasn't even the berserker rage type of crazy.

My bets on HSI and S&P shorts just got killed terribly.

The indexes just refused to come down regardless of the fundamentals.

This has dragged on into December as one can see.

And now my 2019 performance is utter shite.

Sad.

2019 Dividend Accumulator November

November has been moderately okay given the stellar few months prior.

I have managed to maintain holding many of my dividend stock positions despite the market continuously making all-time highs and I resist the temptation to sell my stocks.

It has been a good year for dividends to say the least.

If only my other investments were on a similar positive trajectory.

05 November $20.83
13 November $77.00
14 November $19.05
19 November $101.10
22 November $49.48
22 November $90.87
22 November $24.06
26 November $69.77

Total Dividends for November: $452.16

Total Dividends for 2019: $6,170.67
Average per Month: $551.90

Singapore Fintech Festival 2019

Another year, another booth.

This is turning into our annual flagship event.

What an enormous turnout this year!

Our booth was teeming with visitors, and that kept us so busy all three days.

We needed to bring in a lot of staff to cover too.

This year's event covered over 60,000 delegates and 6 halls of the Singapore Expo!

Saxo Fintech Conference 2019

Another fantastic event by Saxo Capital Markets this year, riding on the back of the MAS' Singapore Fintech Festival.

This year's lineup was quite stellar, and had the support of MAS even.

The standout speaker was Chris Colbert of www.chriscolbert.com and his views on disruption and innovation. Basically innovate or die. Also a very valuable recommendation to read about Project Aristotle and the tremendous impact it has had since.

We also had Rebecca Martin from MAS' APIX speaking about the latest API Exchange.

As usual were the evening networking drinks.

All in another fantastic event.

My Saxo P&L 2019 October

Ooh la la!

What a beautiful month October has been for me.

Just look at that. 3.9K in the green.

It has actually given me hope for the remaining two months of the year, with a 75 trade limit, to try to work towards breaking even for 2019.

Let's go for that!

Of course, November has begun nicely though as I lost a wee bit through the HSI volatility.

Need to be careful and find better and more certain winners!

HUAT AH!!!

2019 Dividend Accumulator October

October has been another really good month for dividends!

Many of the stocks I hold for dividend income paid out in October, so it's been a bumper month.

This is probably the most I'll ever earn in dividends in a month with what's left of this year.

Long may this continue as I work my way towards FIRE!

Must aim for even higher payouts next year!

03 October $78.12
03 October $21.14
