Portfolio Update 20111228

The portfolios check were made on 26 December 2011, which happened to be a holiday in the NYSE. The system I am using does not require ticking signals - historical data can also be used. QQQ Portfolio Stock: US$79,633.60 Cash: US$46,887.65 Total: US$126,521.25 Benchmark Oct 2007: +22.61% No signals – all quiet on the western front. Sorry Portfolio Stock: US$104,263.40 Cash: US$9,229.72 Total: US$113,493.12 Component: KO610, MCD520, PG140 Benchmark: +13.49% Another sell signal flashed, and I liquidated another 30 shares of MCD. Most readers who understand how stock trading should work will understand that I am basically taking in ballast when the boat is rising. The key is in knowing when, and how much, and this system (principal aim: protect capital) works as it should. SGD/CNY SGD: $50,000 CNY: ¥10,185.37 SGD Value: $99,847.20 Benchmark: +0.15% No signals. All quiet on the western front. The historical swing of the SGD and CNY is not very large and is unlikely to trigger any signals.

QQQ Portfolio Stock: US$80,059.60 Cash: US$46,887.65 Total: US$126,947.25 Benchmark Oct 2007: +22.37% No signals – all quiet on the western front. Sorry Portfolio Stock: US$103,515.00 Cash: US$6,236.93 Total: US$109,751.93 Component: KO610, MCD550, PG140 Benchmark: +9.75% Another sell signal flashed yesterday, and I liquidated another 10 shares of MCD. For comparison (though a poor one), I have benchmarked this against the cash investment of USD100,000. SGD/CNY SGD: $50,000 CNY: ¥10,185.37 SGD Value: $99,969.43 Benchmark: 0.03% I am also testing this system, to see if it may work on FOREX. The benchmark is set against a fully invested CNY valued initially at SGD100,000, starting from November 2011.
