No matter what happen to the market in the coming week till last day of the year, we are going to take a break from the market. We think we have achieved quite a lot this year, so we deserved a break until when we are ready.
We always believe we need to rest, switch off from the market and come back again with a fresh mind. Of course, if market rally and our portfolio have a nice paper profit, we don't mind to lock in the profit; and if market drops badly, which we think unlikely, we will continue bargain hunting.
To sum up the year of 2015, we enjoyed the roller coaster ride. During the downtrend, we've collected some undervalue stocks which we think need to keep for months or years. Meanwhile, we also collected some blue chip and REITS, attracted by their dividend payout.
When market rally, we sold our holdings; keep the cash and turn it into other investments. So far, we are quite happy with the result and hopefully we'll perform better in the coming years.
Our portfolio's result year to date:
Australia: +25%
Hong Kong: +14%
Malaysia: +5.5%
REITS: +4%
The above result does not include the dividend and interest received throughout the year. As our Ringgit had depreciated quite badly against other currencies, to us it's a bonus since our portfolio consists of Australian Dollar, Japanese Yen, Hong Kong and Singapore dollar, not to mention Chinese Yuan which just included into SDR.
We'll remain our currencies portfolio for the time being. Will increase our holdings if Ringgit strengthened; otherwise, we'll travel to these destinations to spend the currencies.
