The Brokerage Account I Use

I am using Rakuten Trade for all the transactions and stock holdings for this portfolio.

There are 3 reasons why I think Rakuten Trade is best for me:

  1. It provides historical realized profit/loss for my stocks.
  2. Stocks’ dividend are directly credited into my brokerage account.
  3. It’s app and website are user-friendly and easy to use compared with other brokerage account.

2021 Monthly Portfolio Update

October 2021 Portfolio Update

In October, my overall stock portfolio recovers its gain by 2.11% from September.

Currently, MI is still the top performer in my portfolio, while CCK is no longer the worst performer as its share price climbed to 60 cents.

I also received dividends from Matrix worth RM12 (around 1.04% DY) in October.

In other words, Matrix is giving me a total gain of 15.12%, an unrealized gain of 11.99%, and realized gain (which is dividend) of 3.13%.

In October 2021, the total dividend I received from this portfolio is worth RM116.07.

Meanwhile, MI just released its quarterly result. Although its revenue and profits are lower compared with last quarter, its result is significantly higher than the previous year. The semiconductor business is still busy as always, so it is a matter of time that the revenue will materialize in the coming 2 years.

KIPREIT also announced its quarterly result and will distribute its income to shareholders next month. Though this quarter’s income distribution (1.55 cents) is lower than the previous quarter (2.1 cents).

My Investing Approach

  • I will invest in companies that I am comfortable holding for at least 10 years.
  • Before buying a stock, I will ask these 3 questions:
    1) What if the stock price drops more than 20%?
    2) What if the company’s future performance is not as I expected?
    3) What is my expected return after 10 years?
  • Only invest in companies with businesses that I truly understand.
  • Never go all-in on a company. Instead, reserve some cash to average down if have the chance.
  • Read at least one annual report of the company before I invest in it.
