It has been a while… My portfolio after the broad-based drop and a whammy from Asian Pay Television Trust.
It has been a while since I write a blog here and I must admit that I am too busy with my own things to continue to analyze and keep up with my investments. Thus, I was very late in realizing that the market and therefore my portfolio has fallen by quite a lot which emotionally I was very sad.
Moreover, I was hard hit by the sudden drop of Asian Pay Television Trust which has hit me really hard. Together with the broad-based correction of the market, the hard work that I have painstakingly built up, dividends and the profits were all returned back to the market. To think back, there were tell tale signs in the beginning but I have foolishly ignored them. Anyway, I have sold them, believing that it will not recover back to the previous levels based on current metrics.
One thing that I have learnt is that investing can’t be passive as what I have always believed. When I am doing well is because of close monitoring, able to pick up signals early and act on them. It may not be a full-time job, but it is never passive. Thus, my lesson is that I need to be a lot more active, alert even in the midst of busyness, continue to update this blog which tracks how closely I am monitoring. (That’s is how I check myself).
Anyway, this is my portfolio as of now. Not nice and pleasant to see if you compare it with my previous postings. But just thankful that not all is gone. Starting all over again, with a bit of caution, and a bit of fear.
