7-Figures Portfolio w $300K of DBS OCBC UOB unrealized profit ... Sell?

I have picked up a sizeable position of around 7-Figures in the 3 local banks over the past few years, as I felt that they were undervalued for such well managed companies. Dividend yields have also been comparable to reits, plus the business model of banks are proven historically and simple to understand. Banks risk rating of AA (low risk) also beats BBB (medium risk) for most reits by at least 2 notches



Over the past year, the prices of local banks have risen 40%+ considerably to all time highs. Today, the prices of all 3 banks have also risen over 2%. While the fundamentals of banks remain solid, should I take some profit of the $300K so far? 😅

There seems more room for upside though, with good volumes and there's really nothing else much to buy to replace these banks. With Trump taking office in less than 2 weeks, stock markets will be more volatile, as trade wars might be looming. There are really not much places for money to hide nowadays!

2024 $184K Profit (Nice!)

Today is the 1st day of 2025, and time to summarise and consolidate the whole year of 2024. Counting my blessings for the total profits of 2024 came in at a nice $184K. A major bulk of these came from the 3 local banks, followed by various reits, blue chip stocks and bonds. The past year has been a great run-up for stocks especially DBS, UOB and OCBC. I couldn't resist to take some profit, as prices climb to all time highs. Computing over the past 20 years, the accumulated profits have exceeded the psychological $1M. Who says you can only be a millionaire through property?! Stocks are also possible too and I am one of the many examples. Nice!  😎



Looking forward into 2025, the major wild card seems to be Trump. Some are optimistic with the anticipated tax cuts, others are pessimistic with upcoming tariffs war. It's certainly a more dangerous and volatile year ahead. With trepidation, we can only carefully tread forward, hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.

When I slowly started investing some 20 years ago, it was just to be a good steward of money, working and saving hard for a better future. Of course there were many silly mistakes I made, but only by persevering and pressing on bravely, casting aside bad decisions and forgiving myself, upon looking back there seems to be some achievements now.   😅

Single Day ~$50K unrealized profits w Banks

Both UOB and OCBC announced good Q3 results today, plus DBS yesterday. While many would agree that these are all great results, still an eye-popping single day increase of around 9% for UOB and 2% each for OCBC and DBS has been quite pleasantly surprising! I couldn't resist to sell some OCBC to take some profit, with upcoming weekend & possible China govt positive announcements, which might pull some funds back into undervalued HK markets



The USA election win for Trump has been also unexpected, and I can't help but wonder why would Americans elect such an immoral person as president. Complicated & different approaches to policies like Israel/Hamas war, Abortion, Tariffs, Tax & Regulations and LGBTQ can be debatable on what should be the correct/better choices, but raping  woman is just immorally WRONG! Apathetic & misinformed voters could prove to be a slow spiral downfall of a global superpower



I was actually expecting a close & hung election, with Harris winning & Trump disputing with recounts. Unfortunately, it was a big victory for the Republicans with wins in Senate & possibly the House. There goes the S&P500 pullback to purchase more, and once again we are seeing all-time high prices. Are u also waiting for an opportune time to buy more S&P500 for long-term investments? Let me know in the comments below, thanks 😁

It's going to be a scary & unpredictable outlook for the future 4 years. Who knows that Trump might decide after 4 years to continue on for more. He is the "King" now, controlling Executive, Legislature and the Courts. Hoping for the best & preparing for the worst  😅

OCBC ~$300K ... sell abit at $15.3

 I have been slowly accumulating OCBC for a couple of years to reach a sizeable amount of ~$300K investment. For local Singaporeans, OCBC needs no further introduction, as one of the 3 largest banks in Singapore.



Record financial numbers seems to be the norm these days, from tailwinds of high interest rates and strong economy. Record Net profit of $2B, low NPL of 1% and high CET1 of 16.2%, which are all great numbers. Upcoming Q2 results on 2 Aug, should show continued strength and a nice 42c dividend, making a good 5.5% yield (12m TTM), even at current all time high price of $15.3

Source: OCBC business update

As price continues to scales new all time highs, there's some selling seen, which is normal, as some traders/investors take some profit. From the daily chart, we can see price action of slight pull back as prices reach new highs. As the old saying goes, there's never a wrong time to take some profit off the table, and lock-in some realised gains. Markets are volatile and uncertainties are unforseeable. Paper money is still not your money, until it ends up in your bank account 😂



In the weekly chart, the uptrend is still intact with stochastics at overbought region. Prices are breaking convincingly away from consolidation price range of $12-14



Would prices continue to move higher? I hope so and it seems likely too  😎
