Initial Investment Portfolio
I've finally taken the plunge to put my ideas into test with a Virtual Trading Account. I hope to be able to share with readers (and potential investors) some of the ideas behind my investments.
With a simulated portfolio of USD100k, I made the plunge on 25 May 07 in the US market (the one I'm the most familar with). I'll be spending time studying and testing out the ideas I have on the SGX and the Shanghai markets as well - this would widen potential investing markets for my investors.
I placed USD73,472 into just 3 leading dividend-paying stocks in 2 major industries (F&B and Finance), and parked the rest (USD26,752) in cash. Astute readers would have noticed the cash figures do not match - not only did I account for commissions, but I bought OTM calls covered by the stocks, to get some income first, essentially treating my stocks as rental units.
