Montly Update

How did my picks fare after the first month?

Here are the following results:







I will compare with Straits Times Index (STI) as the benchmark.

STI, 31 December 2009: 2897.62
STI, 31 January 2010: 2745.35

Profit/Loss
Virtual Portfolio: -0.64%
Market: -5.26%

That's about it.

Virtual Stock Portfolio

In order to apply the security analysis techniques which I have learnt, I have decided to construct a virtual portfolio on 31 Dec 09 and observe how my picks fare in 2010 and beyond. As I was unable to find a website which offers a virtual trading account for the Singapore Exchange, I suppose I will track my own performance using price quotes from the SGX website. The details are shown below:

Starting amount: S$100,000

Stocks selected: Capitaland, GoldenAgri, Keppel Corp, UOB-KayHian

Cash in Reserve: S$79,923.84

Amount in Equities: S$19,959.00

Transaction Costs: S$117.16

Total: S$100,000.00

This portfolio will be updated monthly until the author decides he has better things to do haha, so feel free to check for updates.
