May 2016 Portfolio

Guess every dividend investors were enjoying themselves with the dividends showering on them during the month of May. I too have my fair share of monies 'falling from the sky' :) This month I also received a nice little surprise from CMPacific. I just got it just once or two months again. It was announced that they will be delisting and offer a premium price of 20% more ie $1.02. This will be my first stock to be 'sold' in my portfolio. Well, I always envy those people who were so lucky to own stocks which were offered a premium price of what they are holding and got a nice profit from it. Stocks such as Saizen, Tigerair, Osim, etc. So this time its my turn to be the 'lucky' guy :)

I also added Hyflux prep cap into my portfolio. Not sure if this is a good move but I always wanted to add some delicious preference shares into my collection but heard quite a handful of negative comments on this. The thing about prep cap is that the company can choose to defer paying dividends if they want to but Hyflux has been very consistent and paid up every time for its preference shares. Well anyway just buy a bit and hold for the long time and collect dividends along the years.

Successful: Short Silver

4H chart silver chart was showing signs of weakening and that silver is going down. Took a short at silver and got to endure abit as it went against my trade for abit before crumbling down :)

Trading Plan:
1. Trade with the trend
2. Trade when there is a price action reversal with the trend continuation
3. Place SL on previous high/low candle (Limit my loss)
4. No TP. Let market decide when to exit (Let my profit run)

Successful: Short Gold

4H chart gold chart was showing that it is going down soon. When the entry was taken yesterday's morning, gold didnt came down immediately. Instead it went on a roller coaster ride upwards almost hitting my stop loss and was shy away before it finally came down during the US session around 10pm. *phew*

Successful: Short GBPUSD

Shorted GBPUSD but was not doing well so exit for a small profit. Luckily, as it went higher and would result in a loss.
