Just realized I have not even update my monthly results for December 2014! And 2 more trading days, January 2015 will be over. Can see how a lazy bum I am! I realized it only after reading a few updates from other bloggers on their portfolio, haha... well, late better than never!
So here is my latest stock portfolio, no change since I added Cache in the list:

Total invested capital is S$44,705.65.
Total current value is S$45,960.00 based on the closing price on the last day of December (luckily I still keep a copy of the closing prices!), a 2.81% gain.
Dividend collect in December is S$112.50; S$62.50 from Cambridge Industrial Trust and S$50 from SATS.
Recently didn't have any 'feel' to buy in more stocks to keep. Only bought a few stocks which are for short term trading; stocks that don't fit into my requirement of 'good' dividend returns but stocks that I think I can make some money from, so far so good. Although the returns from such trading is much better than this portfolio that I have here, the strategy is different. So basically I have this portfolio for dividend returns that I'm sharing in this blog, something that I don't go and monitor that closely, just buy and hold until the dividend yield % is not attractive or whatever. Another portion of my money will be for short term trading; buy when I see the price is right, sell when the price is in my favour, and pocket the profit. This is a more risky and with the higher risk comes better returns. However my frequency of such short term trading is low; few trades per month and even none for some months. Even though I said short term, some trades I did hold for months, just to squeeze some profit out of them. Overall it still worthwhile in term of the returns I am getting, just more time and effort needed to hunt and monitor these trades.
So will Year 2015 be a better year? I think everyone should always work towards making each year a better year than the previous one, so that we can progress. It may be late, since the first month of the year is almost over, but like I always like to say, better late than never! I do wish everyone to have a much better year ahead than last year! :)
