Insinc point update

笨mummy is happy with the recent update of the de-congested timing for the insinc reward wef 1 Aug 2014. Now the de-congested trip would start from 6.15am instead of 6.30am.

笨mummy's normally travel to work by the MRT and would need to be tap in by 6.15am latest at Tiong Bahru MRT to catch her company bus at pick up place next to Woodlands MRT at 7.00am. This morning trip would not entitled to the de-congested bonus based on the old timing of 6.30am.

Now, with the change, her trip can be counted as de-congested trip and entitled to bonus point depending on her status. All she has to do now is to slowly work her way up to the level to earn that that extra S$3.24 per month.

		Status
	KM	Bronze	Sliver	Gold	Plantium
To office (decongested period - 6.15)	27	27	81	108	135
Back home (off-peak period)	27	27	27	27	27
Total points		54	108	135	162
Per month (20 working days)		1080	2160	2700	3240
Converted to cash		$ 1.08	$ 2.16	$  2.70	$ 3.24

Although the amount is very little, it is still some money earn to subsidize the even increasing MRT/bus fares.  Cheers!! 

Stock Portfolio update Jul' 14

Jul was a busy month and 笨mummy did not have much time to monitor the share prices, hence no action taken for the month of Jul and the portfolio remains the same as Jun 14. 

Dividend for month of Jul:

Jul is another quiet month with limited cashflow from dividends:

Capitalmall bond 3.8% - 94.22

Really looking forward to August where most of 笨mummy’s shares are paying out dividends.

Dividend received in May’ 14	$ 86.44
Dividend to-date	$ 4,048.85

Actions taken for month of Jun:

·         Sold 1 lot of Singpost share

The share price has went up due to the news about Alibaba Group’s plan to invest S$312.5M to purchase share of Singpost and take a 10.35% stake in Singpost.

On hindsight, 笨mummy regretted selling the share as the price went even high to 1.75+ at end of Jun 14.

·         Did a sell/buy with SATS. Sold 5 lots of SATS on 2 Jun at a price S$3.18 and bought back at S$3.11 on 10 Jun.

Although planned to hold my shares in SATS till ex-div to get the S$400 dividend, but the run in price to S$3.18 on 2 Jun was a deal breaker. The sales  would result in a profit more than S$400 (average share purchase price is S$3.08). So why not take the chance to sell it and hold cash for other investments that may come knocking instead of waiting for the ex-div date.

Itchy hand to buy back at 3.11 on 10 Jun. Hope this is a wise move.

·         笨mummy purchased 5 lots of Neratel

Sharing of share portfolio and monthly dividend income

笨mummy just realize that a number of finance bloggers shared their share portfolio and dividend generated in their blogs. It seems to be a good way to keep track of one portfolio and dividends received. As the current excel spreadsheet used by笨mummy provides real time information and the past data would be overwritten once the latest share prices. The use of the blog to share the portfolio allow a snapshot of the portfolio at monthly basis. It is time for笨mummy to try this out at the end of May. 

Best payment mode for cab

The best payment mode for cab that  笨mummy discovered so far is the Nets Flashpay function of the OCBC Frank credit card. 

Firstly, Nets Flashpay auto top up (ATU) on OCBC Frank Credit Card can enjoy of 6% rebate if you can hit the minimum spending of $500. 

The use of Nets Flashpay allow one to enjoy a further 5% rebate on taxi fare if one spent more than $30 per month on cab. (See Nets Flashpay promotion: http://www.nets.com.sg/offers-a-promotions/nets-flashpay/taxi-rebate-flashpaycard)

See computation below: 
Assuming a monthly cab fare of $30, consisting of an average cab fare of $10 per trip.
cost:
Admin fee from using Nets Flashpay - $0.30 x 3 = $0.90

Gain:
6% rebate from Frank Credit card - S$1.80  [i.e. 6% x S$30]
5% rebate from Nets Flashpay - S$1.50    [i.e. 5% x S$30]

Net gain: S$2.40 (a 8% gain from S$30 spending)
