Share Investment Mar 21 Part 1

-

We're still in a pandemic crisis a year on. This is the latest yearly update:

Initiated position in:

(1) Micro-Mechanics

Recommended by The Smart Investor. "Micro-mechanics is primarily focused on the semiconductor industry, manufacturing consumable tools and parts for the assembly and testing of semiconductors. It also provides contract manufacturing of precision parts and tools for semiconductor wafer fabrication and other high-technology industries."

Reason for inclusion, as articulated by the investment club:

  • A high proportion of recurring revenue
  • Diversified customer base
  • Strong financial track record
  • Positive tailwinds

(2) ParkwayLife REIT

Recommended by The Smart Investor. "ParkwayLife REIT (SGX: C2PU) has 53 healthcare-focused properties in Singapore and Japan, along with strata-titled lots at Gleneagles Intan Medical Centre, Malaysia.

In Singapore, the REIT houses three private hospitals, namely Mount Elizabeth Hospital, Gleneagles Hospital, and Parkway East Hospital. Over in Japan, the REIT owns 48 nursing homes and a pharmaceutical products distribution and manufacturing facility."

Reason for inclusion, as articulated by the investment club:

  • Track record of growth in distribution per unit
  • A favourable tenant lease structure 
  • Tailwinds from a fast-growing health-care sector in Asia Pacific
  • High-interest coverage ratio

(3) SIA

Speculative purchase. As evidenced by the first supplementary budget during the pandemic, Singapore government tries their best to let let SIA close down. So before the second supplemtary budget was announced, I initiated a small position. A month later, it was up 20% and yet pandemic is still not over. I am optimistic that it will rise much further once air travel normalises. I will definitely sell then, if not earlier.


Sold shares in:

(1) Top Glove

A friend was so convinced that I would be better off selling these shares than to hold it that he offered to pay me the upside over the next two years, if it happened. That is if the dividends I was supposed to collect within these two years plus the market value of the share in two years time exceed the sale proceed, he would pay me the difference. I didn't mind taking up on his offer because it was already in the black by a lot then and that it was a growth stock, rather than an income stock. 

(2) iFast Corporation

Pared down my exposure to this counter when its share price double my cost price in just over 2 years. The shocking thing is that since then it had increased about fivefold @@


Also, Capital Commercial Trust merged with CapitaMall Trust and renamed as CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust.


As at 12 Mar 21, I have investment in 34 companies (I've also indicated whether their source of business is solely in Singapore only or not):

AIMS-AMP Industrial REIT (Singapore only)
ARA LOGOS Logistics Trust (formerly Cache Logistics Trust) (Singapore only)

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

Strange expectorant

-

An expectorant cough syrup helps you to prevent phlegem from going to your lungs by expelling it via coughing or so I heard from doctors and pharmacists. That's why for cough that's caused by phlegm, it is not advisable to take suppressant cough syrup. Given that's the role, do you expect it to be drowsy? It should be non-drowsy so that you will be actively coughing out the phlegm, right? Not this Unizet expectorant. The doctor told me that it shouldn't be drowsy and yet some of his patients (including me) reported otherwise. I read the detailed information (on the piece of paper typically stuffed inside the box) and nowhere it indicated drowsiness as a side effect. Strange, huh?
