The first month of my blog that tracks the growth of my stock portfolio has passed and this is the first monthly update. Two newcomers to my portfolio in last few days of October; Mapletree Greater China Commercial Trust & Hong Leong Finance Limited.
I have also traded OCBC and with the profit gained, part of it is used to bring down the cost of this stock in my portfolio. I track the amount of money used in my short term trading and long term stock holding separately.
So, here is my latest stock portfolio as of 31st October 2014:

Based on the closing price on the last day of October, the unrealized P/L of my portfolio is $1,045, which is about 2.8% gain, without taking into account the commission.
I did an estimation of the dividend yield percentage of these stocks based on past record and it works out to be about 4.82%, partly because OCBC dividend yield is not high, the lowest in the list, and itself alone is already one quarter of my portfolio. Hopefully I can further push up the overall dividend yield to near 6% in coming months with more different stocks joining in.
Is 4.82% acceptable to you?

Hi
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that the yield is 4.82% considering that only OCBC and ST Eng maybe that yield below while the rest is all its way up.
A defensive portfolio with 4.82% is generally good for most investors.
