Share investment Apr 13 Part 1

-
Just a couple of changes since the last update in Jun 2012:

(1) Sold some shares of CapitaCommercial Trust mainly because I wanted to beef up my emergency fund and also to reduce its weighting as it was much larger than other counters within my portfolio. Gained profit of 43% for an average duration holding of about 1.5 years. Naturally I'm pleased with the outcome.

(2) Initiated a long position in Venture Corporation Limited, after managing to save more money. I was hesitant about the timing as I didn't know whether the share market was frothing badly or not. In the end, I decided to buy this counter and hold off purchase of others, that I'm also aiming for, until much later. As for Venture, it is essentially an IT company providing design, manufacturing and e-fulfillment services relating to IT. Admittedly I am not familiar with such business as much as others and so I relied on analysis performed by others. Also, it is my aim to diversify my portfolio and it seems to be a good fit for my portfolio currently. I have to, however, be vigilant and observed its EPS (earnings per share) as it has been falling for the past few years. Another risk is large weighting within my portfolio due to its share price. Yup, better keep a close watch on this company.


(3) As at 26 Jun 12, I have investment in 14 companies (I've also indicated whether their source of business is solely in Singapore only or not):

  • Second Chance Properties (Singapore only)
  • AIMS-AMP Industrial REIT (Singapore only)
  • Boustead Singapore Ltd
  • CapitaCommercial Trust (Singapore only)
  • CapitaMall Trust (Singapore only)
  • CapitaRetailChina REIT
  • First REIT
  • M1 (Singapore only)
  • SBS Transit Ltd (Singapore only)
  • SIA Engineering
  • SP AusNet
  • Singpost
  • SingTel
  • Venture Corp

Charts to come in Part 2.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I ...

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

-
(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba...

Sudden lower body pain

-
About two weeks ago, my mum developed pain in her pelvic bone, much more on the right side, and squeezing pain in her legs, with occassional spike in pain. She was managing it with paracetamols, 2 tabs three times daily.  Since we didn't know any particular orthopedist in private hospitals (it was only recently that I remember Dr Prashant ), I targeted one at KPJ Penang Specialist Hospital since it's in mainland Penang (instead of on the island). I made appointment for my mum with Dr Joehaimey since he has the earliest suitable date. The moment she walked through his door, he immediately asked her whether the pain from her right side. We were both quite impressed. He was in turn impressed with mum's prepared list of medication that she presented to him on a piece of paper. The key information seems to be the surgery she had back in 2011 to insert titanium plate and screws in her lower spine. He guessed that there's accumalated wear and tear due to aging. So to confirm i...
