小胖 shows his portfolio

So... 小胖 started his investing journey in August 2012. Throughout these years, he has grown from a more-trader to a more-investor.

In the past, he remembered the heydays of 10-20% monthly returns on trading oil & gas stocks, shell companies, etc... Only to lose all of them in another one or two trades. He is not a fan of cutting loss, even when trading. That adrenaline rush, and fast heartbeats along with shrinking balls were the reasons why he decided to move from a trader to more of an investor.

As he started transiting from a more-trader to a more-investor, he started picking up REITs, before amassing more savings to pick up blue-chips, bit by bit. Using SCB trading account, he is able to pick up blue-chips in lots of 100 shares, ever since the kickstart of smaller lots trading on Jan 2015.

The smaller trading lots have also allowed him to use Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) if the share prices goes against his way.

Shown is his portfolio throughout these 3.5 years of investing (ranked according to % value in portfolio). Along the way, he had also done some trading on blue-chips, which are not listed here.

As you can see, 小胖's portfolio is heavy on the property sector, which he feels is not a good sign. Thus, he is looking to diversify on other sectors, as well as building up his percentage of portfolio in bonds and other investments.

As of 2015, his dividend income stands at ~4%, he is hoping to increase it to reach ~5% in 2016 (conservative estimate).

Standby for updates on whether I can hit that target at the end of the year!
