Q1 $17,808 ... Q2 $23,535 ... 2024 $114,583

It's been 3 months into the new year and almost reaching the end of Q1. So thought it would be good to have a short summary log for 2024. Singapore markets have been moving sideways for the past few months, and I am almost falling asleep... Hence blogging again 😂

Looking into Q1 numbers, there's really not much activities. I am logging in profits as my SGS T-bills mature, collecting dividends mainly from Reits (MIT, Areit, Ascott, Keppel, MLT) and divesting my ST Engineering plus picking more MLT. That's basically it for the past 3 months that seems to zoom by ...


Looking at STE's chart above, it's really quite an unexciting chart. Strong resistances can be seen in $4.10 and $4.30 regions. Bought STE about 9 years ago to diversify my portfolio, and will be exiting with about 10% gains after 9 years! That's about 1% for every year, but factoring in the yearly dividends of around 4%, totalling would make it around 5% per year.


For the MLT chart, readers should be rather familiar that interest rates have spiked up sharply for the past 2 years. Hence Reits being leveraged with debt, have suffered in their prices. MLT is approaching its 2020 low price support of $1.4+ forming "hopefully" a triple bottom chart pattern. Weekly stochastics and MFI also show its price at oversold levels.

The concern about MLT is the gearing debt which is approaching 40% with its recent $200M purchases in Malaysia and Vietnam. Hence it might either need to divest existing properties or raise cash through Rights/EFR.
