Rebalanced my portfolio

I realise I should actually try to diversify - so I have got rid of some GLP for
Yangzijiang. Yes, it is time to welcome back Yangzijiang.

I am initiating a position with GLP

The first I have added since the start of the bear market in Aug - GLP @ 1.53.

It is now trading off its historical low, but has nice fundamentals, and its NAV is already 1.70, so good time to buy some for keeps.


My wounded portfolio now consists:

CNOOC: -33%
NOL: -40%
SembCorp:-30%
GLP: NA

I am thinking of my dream portfolio

I am dreaming of building a portfolio of stocks, and thing is, it is getting very possible as STI just crashed through 2600. Stocks are approaching very attractive levels.

My portfolio should ideally include:

Banks: Any of the Big 3

Property: Global Log

Commodity:Noble

Shipping:Yangzijiang

Offshore: Keppel Corp

Gaming: Genting

*Telco: Singtel (spare funds only)

There is no better time to think about starting a portfolio of stocks than now. I am watching closely.

A crisis in my performance

I added Semb Corp to my portfolio in late Jul. I also added CNOOC in Aug. Now, combined with my existing NOL, Semb Corp and CNOOC have driven my protfolio far below my wildest imagination. I am very negative for 2010. This is my first crisis ever since my steady perfomance from second half 2010. How did I let it happen?

1. I did not pay attention to the technicals

2. I over-indulged in bullish analyst reports

3. I over-indulged in feng shui

4. I over-indulged in the positive effects of QE3.

5. I thought I would never lose with buy blue chips and hold.

Do I cut loss now? As I have maintained, it is too late now. I can only get out at the next bull run, say one, two or even three years from now, or the next rebound, which hopefully occurs soon so as to release some of my funds.

Other than that, I am actually pretty excited as stock prices get cheaper everyday, as it means I can add more stocks at the prices I could only salivate over just a couple of months ago. Will slowly accumulate as the bear market progresses.

My 2010 Performance(unrealised): -50%
