My Stock Holdings (February 2016)

Whew, busy month with Design Project, FYP Presentation, projects, tutorials, midterms. For record sake's, I have come online to record this short entry of my stock holdings in February. Whilst the market condition is still bad, there is a restoration of stability and hence marginal growth.

In the month of February, Keppel Reit has declared a dividend of $0.0168 per share. I chose to reinvest this dividend through the DRP. While filling up the form, I realised that I can allocate the shares I own to either 1) Receive the cash dividend OR 2) Receive new shares. Knowing this, I can allocate some of my share to receive cash dividend while still receiving the same number of new shares. This is possible because there can be no shares lower than 1 and is thus rounded down. Might as well use this spare shares to receive the cash dividend! The amount is not huge, but I hate to give away free money.

Therefore, the first dividend I received this year will be $34.15. The start to my $1000 dividend aim for this year. Below is my stock holdings at the end of February. Noticeably, HPH Trust has fallen in overall value to stand below Keppel Reit.


PS: I finally found a job!
