(7) Top Glove
I sold my entire stake previously, spurred by an offer of guarantee by a friend. The Smart Investor still recommended it and so I invested a minimal amount, just to see where this is going. Not going well at the moment haha. We'll see.
Sold shares in:
(1) HRnet Group
Sold this as soon as there was unrealised gain because it was categorised as 'speculative' by The Smart Investor
(2) SIA
Sold this speculative investment for a 14% profit (over 2.5 months) when Covid-19 resurged.
(3) ARA LOGOS Logistics Trust
For quite sometime I wasn't happy with the company managing this trust and so sold it as soon as it was in the black.
(4) Singapore Press Holdings
Sunset industry. Likely would take a long time for restructing benefit to materialise. Sold due to takeover bid.
(5) Singapore Shipping Corp
Dividend yield was consistently at 4%, similar to banks.
(6) SBS Transit
Sold, as recommended by The Smart Investor.
Capitaland was delisted and shareholders were given shares in Capitaland Investment.
