Cache - Not Data Storage but a Logistics Trust

Yup, not talking about the computing term for data storage but is about the new stock in my portfolio; Cache Logistics Trust. Welcome to the family!

Before I went for my holidays, I had tried to queue for it for a number of times at S$1.15 pricing but was not successful. Last week, while doing my usual 'morning business', I happened to login to my trading account and saw that the pricing was below that, so I just queue for 3 lots then and got filled in the afternoon I think, so I got a better deal than I initially wanted. And yes, it is not the first time I did my trading entries while in the restroom, hahaha...

Well, don't ask me why I choose to invest in them, I'm not in any position to give advice on such matter. I buy stocks based on my limited trading knowledge, on my personal feel or experience with them which can varies from logical to non-logical thinking. Anyway it's my own money, I'm responsible for it myself. Everyone should be responsible for theirs too. Read before that some even blame some bloggers just because they follow blindly on what those bloggers bought and shared in their blogs. Come on, if you earn some money, do you share part of it with them? If not then don't blame them if you lose money just because you are not doing your own homework before parting with your money. So please don't follow what I'm buying, there are many more professional guides out there that can help you better than reading my blog content. Reason why I have to say this is I received an email asking me for reasons why I bought one of my share that I posted previously. Seriously, I didn't expect that anyone will really ask me that! As if I'm some expert! No please, I'm just a nobody and who knows, all these info about my portfolio might be fake? You never know and should never just believe anything you read on the internet blindly.

You can believe that's the man and that's what the man really said?

Think that should be the final list for this year closing. Holiday mood now, as usual very quiet atmosphere in the office with people clearing leaves. Best time to be in the office as not much activities going on and not many people to disturb me.

So if you are still reading till now, I wish you a very happy holiday ahead. Merry Christmas! May your Christmas present be this:

Money Money Money!

End November 2014 Updates

Was travelling around for a bit for the past few weeks and have not been actively checking on my stock portfolio performance. While travelling, I do not have data roaming or even bother to buy oversea data sim card. As long as I can be contactable via normal phone call, I'm fine with it. I'm not one who like to 'report' where I am in Facebook unlike my other friends. Finding a free wi-fi spot is like striking lottery to them! Some may said it is useful to have internet connection to get around but I still prefer the way of using map and asking around for direction. Anyway we can pre-load the maps in our cell phones now, so no excuse.

I have cut down a lot on time spend looking at my phone or tablet in recent months. We can easily see people sitting together but each of them fully engaged with their hand held devices, even with couples on dates. Most of them were viewing their Facebook instead of facing their friends who are physically there in front of them. When out with my close friends, we often reminded each other to stop this 'bad' habit of taking phones out and play with it during our gathering. To me, it is also a show of respect to those with us. Hence I cannot understand why some parents would allow their children to play with their phones or worst, to plug in ear pieces during their mealtime, a common thing to spot when I am out for dinner. It is a strict no for my family during mealtime.

Anyway, enough of that, back to my stock portfolio; no change since the last update. On a look out for more stocks to add on and works towards a 50k portfolio. Also from January next year, we can buy at smaller lot size, great news! Even greater news is end of year, holidays season, AWS payment! More cash coming in! Haha...

Below is my latest stock portfolio, no change:

So happy holidays to everyone! May the next year be a better year!
