My Portfolio Nov24

Summary of November 2024

Portfolio @ End of Nov24

My portfolio's value continue to drop 0.9% in the month of Nov24, mainly due to the drop in the share price of EUPE & TAS.

Good gain in Hiaptek & MI did help to limit the overall loss though.

Year-to-date my portfolio gain has shrunk to 10%, from a 40% gain in Jun24.

Finally I sold all my remaining Gtronic shares at 60sen, which indicates a loss of 35%. I should have sold all at RM1.55 back in Feb24 when I knew about the line up of the new management team.

My initial plan was to sell all of its shares but only when I was about to key in the number of shares I suddenly decided to change to half. 

This decision has resulted in the widening of loss from 10% to 35%.

My Portfolio Oct24

 Summary of October 2024

Portfolio @ End of Oct24

The stock market has not been good to me since July 2024. 

October 2024 continue to be lackluster. My portfolio value shrank 1.8% while KLCI retreated 2.8% in the month.

I decided to add FocusP into my portfolio. Even though it's not very undervalued, I think its downside is rather limited while offering some space of growth in the near future.

I don't have high target price for it. It will be great if it can reach RM1 next year.

My Portfolio Sep24

Summary of September 2024

Portfolio @ End of Sep24

In Sep24 my portfolio stayed flat while KLCI dropped 1.8%.

The major story is the continuous slump in the share price of Gtronic, though it only carries a little weight in my portfolio now.

Hibiscus's share price also suffered and it even dropped below RM1.90 at one point. I was tempted to add more of its share but I kept to my earlier "promise" not to do so.

Though I think Hibiscus is quite undervalued, it is volatile and has too many unpredictable factors that can influence its share price.

I'll just treat it as "mini Petronas" kind of dividend stock.

My Portfolio Aug24

Summary of August 2024

Stock Portfolio @ End of Aug24

Even though KLCI gained a handsome 3.27% in the month of Aug24, my portfolio shrunk by a massive 12%.

All the stocks in my portfolio suffered loss. The worst was Gtronic which dived 32%. It continues to dive in Sep24 after the resignation of its auditor KPMG.

Most of the tech related stocks suffered badly in this month with more than 10% drop. A lot of them has plunged ~30% from their peak this year.

As I was short in cash, I have to sell some stocks.

In hindsight, I should have sold half of my shares in EUPE, LEESK & Fajar earlier. If I did that, I should be able to sit on a good amount of cash and get ready to shop during market correction.

You can't always got it right all the time in stock market. Lessons can be learned and unlearned.

My Portfolio Jul24

Summary of July 2024

 

Portfolio @ End of Jul24

July 2024 was a bad month as my portfolio shrank by 5%, even though KLCI advanced 2.2%.

I think most of the small & mid cap stocks do not perform well despite the bullish KLCI.

August is even worse and it almost wiped out my paper gain this year!

I didn't make any sell transaction in June and July. The timing of selling seems to be my weakness as always. 

I didn't sell EUPE, Fajar & LEESK when they were riding high, and didn't sell enough shares of TAS either.

I don't know whether they will ever revisit their previous high...

My Portfolio Jun24

Summary For June 24

Portfolio @ End of Jun24

Jun24 doesn't feel like a good month to me and I thought my portfolio will register loss in the month before I did my monthly calculation.

Surprisingly it still manage to gain 3.5%.

This is because the good run in the first half of Jun24 was not totally undone by the bad second half.

Anyway, KLCI still lost 0.4%.

Overall, my YTD gain inched up to 39%.

My Portfolio May24

 Summary For May 2024

Portfolio @ End of May24

May24 is not a bad month for me. Even though previous "heavyweights" EUPE & TAS fell 14% and 3.3% respectively, latest heavyweight stock Fajar climbed 38.5%.

I manage to buy more Fajar's shares at average price of 35sen before it released its FY24Q3 result.

As a result, my portfolio was able to gain 3.15% in the month, lifting overall YTD gain to 32.7%.

KLCI's YTD gain has almost reached 10% which is undoubtedly its best performance in more than 10 years.

My Portfolio Apr24

 Summary For April 2024

Portfolio @ End of Apr24

April 2024 is a great month for me as my portfolio gained 16.9%, bringing YTD gain to almost 30%.

This is due to EUPE & TAS, the 2 stocks which I invested more heavily into recently. Both of them gained 58% & 35% respectively in Apr24.

Malaysia's stock market seems to be very bullish as I can see many stocks flying up the sky.

KLCI has gained 8.3% in the first 4 months in 2024, which is its best performance since I started tracking KLCI from year 2014.

Anyway, Gtronic's share price continue to slide and lost 15% in the month.

It seems like the "SCIB phenomenon" does not apply to Gtronic.

My Portfolio Mac24

Summary For March 2024

Portfolio @ End of Mac24 

In Mac24, the two newly added stocks ADB & EUPE performed brightly as they rose 37.6% and 9.3% respectively.

This has helped to propel my portfolio to gain 1.6% in Mac24. YTD gain improves slightly to 8.1%.

The share price of ADB inched up almost everyday and I have no chance to add more shares. Thus it only contributes rather minimally to my portfolio despite appreciated 35%.

Meanwhile, the share price of EUPE took a break below RM1 so I took this opportunity to buy more of its shares, with a target price of RM2.

My Portfolio Feb24

Summary For February 2024

Stock Portfolio @ End of Feb24 

The stock market is quite bullish in the first two months of 2024. KLCI has already gained 6.6% and my portfolio just manage to match it at 6.4%.

In Feb24, I have added two new members into my portfolio: ADB & EUPE.

I decided to invest in ADB mainly because of e-invoicing, even though its PE ratio is not low at 30x at share price of 68sen.

E-invoicing will begin in Aug24 for those with annual turnover of at least RM100mil, whereas all taxpayers are compulsory to do it from Jul25 onwards.

I'm not sure how much profits ADB can get from this e-invoicing thing. By looking at its share price chart which dived from RM1.10 on the first day of trading to stay sideway at 60+sen level, I just feel that the only way it can head is north this year.

I purposely bought its shares before it released its FY23Q4 result but the result is a bit disappointing.

My Portfolio Jan24

Summary of January 2024

Portfolio @ End of Jan24

Jan 2024 is a special month for stock market in Malaysia. A few stocks crashed heavily with multiple limit downs which was unheard of before.

Those stocks include Rapid, YNHProp, Imaspro, SCIB, MERSEC, JSB, ARTRONIQ, APB, SRIDGE, Tanco etc with various degree of severity.

I'm quite familiar with SCIB, it is the stock that I gained the most in value so far.

After the fall of Serba Dinamik, I thought SCIB would face the same fate but it could escape by "terminating" all those questionable contracts.

Last year I did notice that SCIB's share price somehow increased steadily despite making losses. Its share price rose 10x from RM0.12 to RM1.20 in 8 months time. 

Of course I was very surprise but I didn't expect it to fall so rapidly back to below 30sen in just 3 free trading days.

My Portfolio Dec23

Summary For December 2023

 

Portfolio @ End of Dec23

With a 2.3% gain in the month of Dec23, my portfolio successfully closed year 2023 with a double digit gain of 12.3%.

I think this gain is just average, as I can see many stocks making very good progress towards the end of year 2023, even though KLCI fell for the third year in a row.

Anyway, I'm satisfied with this result since I don't put in a lot of time and effort in the stock market throughout the year.

If you want to be more successful, you have to work hard to earn it...

My Portfolio Nov23

 Summary For November 2023

Portfolio @ End of Nov23

In November 2023, my portfolio value inched up 0.8%. YTD gain is still below 10%.

Gtronic's share price moved up the most by 12.6% in the month, and now we know why.

Gtronic's founder will dispose his entire 10.4% shares to APB Resources Bhd at a price of RM2.00 per share.

To me, this is not an exciting news as it's not good to see any founder exiting his own company.

Furthermore, the buyer APB seems to be in oil & gas fabrication industry and I'm not sure whether it can bring growth to Gtronic.

My Portfolio Oct23

 

Summary For October 2023

Portfolio @ End of Oct23

Even though KLCI inched up 1.3%, October 2023 was not a good month for my portfolio as it lost 2.1%.

Almost all the stocks in my portfolio suffered loss except MFCB who manage to gain 1.8%, while MI & LEESK were unchanged.

Many stock market investors are hoping for a much better second half but at the moment it seems hard to come by.

Year-to-date, KLCI retreated 3.6% while my portfolio still gain 8.7%.

I'd be happy if my portfolio can end the year with >10% gain.

My Portfolio Sep23

 

Summary of September 2023

Portfolio @ End of Sep23

In Sep23, Brent oil price went up from USD85 to USD94. As a result, Hibiscus share price soared 18%.

MI also gained a decent 7.5% in the month.

Other than these, other stocks did not change much.

Thanks to the 2 stocks mentioned above, my portfolio manage to gain 1.5% in Sep23, with a YTD gain of 10.9%.

My Portfolio Aug23

 Summary For August 2023

Portfolio @ End of Aug23

It's been a flat month of Aug23. KLCI dropped marginally  (-0.5%) while my portfolio gained 0.7%.

Gtronic gained the most at 10.4% while LEESK suffered the most with a 11.6% loss, probably due to its poor quarter result.

I planned to dispose all my Krono warrants on the first day of trading but I just missed the date.

Thus I only manage to sell off at lower price of 15sen on the second day of trading.

I don't have any potential new stocks to invest in at the moment. I'll consider to top up on a few existing stocks in my portfolio.

My Portfolio Jul23

 Summary For July 2023

Portfolio @ End of Jul23

July 2023 was a rather good month for stock market as tech stocks led the way.

MI's share price jumped 17% while Gtronic gained 14%. JHM was not far behind with a 9.4% gain in the month.

Overall my portfolio improved by 6.4% in parallel with an impressive 6.0% gain in KLCI in the month of Jul23.

In this month, bonus shares of Krono was ex-ed and there was no buy sell transaction for me.

My Portfolio Jun23

 Summary For June 2023

Portfolio @ End of Jun23

My portfolio is rather flat in Jun23 with a marginal gain of 0.3%. Overall YTD still manage to stay in the positive territory of 3.1%.

T7Global started to make some move this month with a sudden surge from 41.5sen to 47.5sen in mid June, only to retreat to 44.5sen at the end of Jun23.

Gtronic made good progress as well with a 6.8% gain in the month.

However, MFCB dropped by as much as 7.0% in June which was somewhat unexpected to me. 

I thought MFCB's share price should be as steady as rock even if growth might be slow. It has dropped from RM3.60 to almost RM3.00 since earlier this year.

My Portfolio May23

Summary For May 2023

Portfolio @ End of May23

KLCI dropped 2% in May23 while my portfolio dropped even more at 4%, reducing the YTD gain to merely 2.7%.

Tech related stocks seems to suffer this month, with MI leading the pack by falling 15.8%. JHM & Krono both fell by 7%.

Nevertheless, Gtronic still managed to register a 7% gain in the month.

Both Hibiscus and Maybulk also dropped by a massive 10%.

My Portfolio Apr23

 Summary For April 2023

My Portfolio @ End of Apr23

In Apr23, my portfolio inched up just 0.5% while KLCI dropped 0.5%.

MyNews continued to fall after its loss-making result announcement, while MI lost 7.3% may be because investors have anticipated a poor upcoming result.

Uchitec advanced 6.5% after it announced a surprise special dividend of 5sen, bringing its total dividend to 30sen for FY22.

This is a good 9.1% dividend yield at share price of RM3.30.

I added more T7Global's shares into my portfolio and there was no sell transaction in Apr23.
