Updates for Jan 2018

January is a tiring month as 笨mummy returns to work and there are lot of things to get used to. After eight long months of not working, Microsoft Outlook now looking completely alien to her, so do all the other Microsoft Office Applications. Due to the nature of the company she  joined, she is required to dispose some SGX traded shares. 

Hence, she disposed her positions in the Netlink Trust and ComfortDelgro and decided to reinvest these funds to STI ETF (G3B), Singapore Bond ETF (A35) and VWRD (initially wanted to get IWDA but it is restricted due to the company policy). This is mainly inspired after reading the e-book written by a guy known as "Shiny Things" on the hardwarezone forum and coupled with the fact that the new company policies imposed  certain restrictions on the owning and disposal of SGX shares and investing in ETF is a better way of investment at this moment for her. She is committed to pump in $1000 a month to grow this portfolio and she added a new page to track the progress of this portfolio (decided to call it "Project X") 

She is also required to dispose her Singtel share purchased using her SRS account and resulting in a cash balance in the SRS account of S$30K+. Now she has a headache on how to use up the money sitting in her SRS account. 

January is a quiet month with zero cash in flow from dividend or interest. Let’s look forward to February where the majority of the REITs are issuing dividends.
