Hi everyone,
It has been a long while since I blog about my investments. It has really been a busy year and somehow blogging about my investments took a back seat. However, I am still monitoring my investments but not as frequent as I should. There are missed opportunities which I am just thankful that I did not lose money.
2019 has been a good year because apart from the passive income that I am getting, I have also some capital gains which I am really thankful for. Here are the details.
Overall Capital: $423,000 (An increase of about $43,000)
Passive Income: $48,000 (About $4,000 per month)
It somehow cushion the great disappointment that I have in 2018 where I have to endure large capital losses. I also have to endure large drops from HPH Trust, Eagle Hospitality Trust and SoilBuild REIT which I am still holding on. I am just thankful that there are other counters like Accordia Golf Trust, Dasin Retail Trust, Sasseur REIT, Cromwell REIT, OUE Commercial REIT, Global Investment Trust which puts me back in the black.
Moving on to 2020, I am looking forward to about $50,000 worth of passive income which helps to pay my housing installment, car installment, and my utilities bills, telco bills. I am not expecting any capital appreciation as per normal in my budget calculations so that any capital gains are a bonus to me. I just hope that I don’t endure anymore capital losses which is overwhelming.
Happy and Blessed 2020. I hope to blog more in the year ahead to keep up and do more detailed analysis as much as I can so that I am manage my portfolio better.
