Hello to the blogging world.

 This is my blog, to share my investing journey.

 As part of the first post, I would just introduce myself. I am 50+  and work in a technology company. I started investing in SGX (Singapore Stock Exchange) since 2008 with reasonable success and a lot of learnings from mistakes.  Currently my portfolio consists of mostly REITs and Banking stocks. I have no plans to invest in US Stocks as I'm wary about the currency exchange and tax complications. 

Thank you for reading.

Quick Update on Q4 2024 Results -  Are the Banks Still a Good Investment at All-Time High Prices? Quote: "There is only one thing you should not waste in life, and that's life itself" As 2024 comes to a close, I had a peaceful and enjoyable holiday season. For Q4 2024, my dividend income totalled around SGD 18,000, which was a bit disappointing, as it was significantly lower than the SGD 25,000 I received in Q3.

This timing somewhat skews the regularity of my quarterly dividend payments. Ideally, I would prefer a more consistent, quarterly dividend stream to help me manage my funds better when I retire. However, I realize that not all companies offer dividends on a quarterly basis. Major Contributors to My Q4 2024 Dividends: DBS AIMS REIT Mapletree Logistics Frasers Logistics It’s worth...
