Update for May 16

May has always been the month where most stocks 笨mummy owns started paying out dividends. However , one stock has slightly delayed its payout to Jun that is Ascendas REIT. So just have to wait a bit longer for the money to come in.

笨mummy has not been actively participate in the market since start of 2016 as she is keeping cash to prepare for the possibility of clearing her outstanding mortgage in 2017 in the event the bank interest rate goes up more than what she expected. She has in a way missed out on some opportunities to gain from the up and down of the market which her some of her friends did. On hindsight she is upset, but who can predict the market right.

    Hi, if say a share you are holding appreciates very much in price, say more than 10%, would you sell it and pocket the gains?

      It depends on the motive of buying, I sold some of those shares I bought in dec 16 recently as my purchases intention at that time was to buy and sell on profits within a one yr timeframe. I have shares that appreciated more than 10% which I am still holding on as my intention of buying is to hold for long term. I bought DBS at $15 and ST eng at $1.3 and still holding.

    On the balance cash, will their return in stocks be much higher than if there were to paid up to return your interests in your housing ? btw, take a peek in my investment blog.

      Sorry for the late reply. Only saw your comment today. Yes you are rite that the return in stock is much higher than interest in housing, however both me and my husband are OCD with having debt (I.e. It is like a thorn sticking out) and we rather have it removed than sticking ard. A lot really depend on individual preference I guess.

      Thank you for sharing your blog, wld take time to look at it.

      Agreed. Personal peace of mind is important.
