Share investment Mar 21 Part 2

-

Here are the average dividend yields on cost for shares that have paid out dividends:

Share counters (2 of them) with no dividend yields just means that I have yet to receive at least a year's worth of dividends from these companies.

The overall dividend yield on cost weighted by invested amount is 4.6%, excluding the 2 share counters mentioned above.
 

There are 18 share counters with dividend yield (on cost) less than 5% (number of consecutive years of this low yield in bracket):

  • Boustead (3)
  • Boustead Project (1)
  • Capitaland (2)
  • ComfortDelgro (1) 
  • HRnet (1)
  • iFAST (2)
  • Keppel Corp (5)
  • Mapletree Com (1)
  • Nordic (2)
  • OCBC (1)
  • Parkway (1)
  • SATS (6)
  • SBS Transit (1)
  • SGX (1)
  • SIA Engineering (3)
  • Sing Shipping (6)
  • SG O&G (1)
  • UOB (3)

SPH and SingPost are excluded. I'm maintaining minimal exposure to these counters as speculative investment.

Sing Shipping's historical dividend yield has consistently been just above 4%. The question is whether I want to continue to hold on to such share that pays consistent dividend but lower than my required 5% benchmark. If I keep it, it'll be akin to holding on to bank stocks, which is quite jarring, isn't it?

A number of share were badly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and its resultant various restrictions implemented by governments, especially those in or related to transportation industry i.e. ComfortDelgro, SATS, SBS Transit and SIA Engineering. 

Oil-related stocks (Keppel Corp and Nordic) are still in the doldrum, even before the pandemic. Although I'm inclined to believe that they will recover eventually, I'm still considering whether it's worthwhile to hold them until then or simply sell and reinvest in something else.

Here is the average cost of each share counter compared to its then prevailing price as at 12 March 2021:

Incredible improvement compared to a year ago.

 

Here's the breakdown of my portfolio according to percentage of amount of investment in each share counter:

My investment amount was spread pretty uniformly across all shares.

 

Here's the breakdown of my portfolio according to market value as at 12 March 2020:

The elephant in the room is clearly iFAST: its share price had leaped multiple times and this is even before they design, build and operate MPF platform in HongKong. True to its classification by The Smart Investor, it is a growth stock. I currently stop investing more into this and to add more to others, so as to shrink its influence over my portfolio in terms of market value.

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...
