For the month of August, I bought MIT @ $1.99 and Comfortdelgro @ $1.47.
The former is a continuing accumulation to build up my existing position when price dips. With this addition, MIT now occupies 8.75% of the portfolio based on market value.
The latter is a reentry since I sold it 8 years ago. Bought it post XD as the price felt comfortable for a first tranche, dividend yield has become attractive and business fundamentals & outlook are improving.
This month also seen dividends received from
OCBC @ $476.42
DBS @ $495
SingTel @ $800
Total: $1,771.42
Looking forward to next month's dividends.
Local portfolio value and P&L excluding dividends:
I also transferred $19,999 to DBS fixed deposit with 2.45% interest.
Had a rather unpleasant experience at Punggol Coast Mall Fairprice Finest with my family yesterday.
We were at the 2nd floor doing our shopping and an auntie promoter at the 'Europe' shelving offered my 5 year old a sample.
My son declined as he will always ask me or my wife for permission before accepting things from strangers.
What irks me is that I heard the promoter told my son to stop looking if he does not want the sample.
After that my son came back to me and I squatted down to ask him what did the promoter said to him. From the corner of my eye I saw the promoter crept up and hid behind one of the shelves near us to eavesdrop on our conversation.
When my son told me the exact words that I heard earlier, I had wanted to go to confront the promoter but my two kids stopped me, saying they are afraid I would be taken away by the police. That gave me a chuckle.
Nevertheless I happened to see the Fairprice store manager and feedback to her about the incident.
Her empathy, professionalism and prompt action are exemplary and show why she deserves to be a manager.
Two ladies, two poles apart in behaviour.
Anyway writing this to let off some steam.
Thanks for reading.
