Summary of June 2026

CPI result released The latest U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) report shows that in May 2026, prices rose 0.5% month ‑ on ‑ month (seasonally adjusted) and 4.2% year ‑ on ‑ year in May (not seasonally adjusted). The biggest drivers were energy (+23.5% YoY, gasoline +40.5%) and shelter (+3.4% YoY), while food prices rose more moderately at 3.1% YoY. Energy is the main inflation driver, because of closing strait of Hormuz has started showing up in the inflation data. Core goods actually fell -0.5% month over month. Consumers are still willing to spend their on goods. SpaceX IPO debut IPO price was $135 and trading to public $150. I think there are many hot money flowing into SpaceX at this moment. To me, the price of this stock simply overprice but if we look at the broader picture we can see their vision is to operate data centre in the space however to achieve this first step SpaceX need Nvidia products and services in order to accomplish data centre in space. Nvidia has been broadenin...

Mistake learnt - Doing covered call but not wanting to relinquish the stock?

 I opened a sell covered call  SoFi  May 29' 26  $17.5  0.04 on 22 May 2026, stock price $15.56 and on Wednesday I noticed there was a strong rebound trend since Monday. Before my mistake, I did not close the contract until the last day, and there was no proper exit strategy to avoid heavy losses. I absorbed $0.59 damage in order to hold Sofi stocks in the long term as I believe in their growth story. I consulted a sell put options expert.  This was his reply: Having a stock move above a covered call strike is not necessarily a bad thing, as the money you'll make on the stock appreciation should more than offset whatever you might lose on the covered call (as long as the call strike is above your stock's initial cost-basis). Now, I understand the concern about not wanting to relinquish the stock if you're still bullish on it, especially for the long term. A couple of choices to consider: Roll the call strike up & out if the stock gets close.  This ...

Summary of May 2026

The market is anticipating few events in May 2026! Firstly,  Kevin Warsh will be governing Fed reserve. The current CPI inflation is 3.81% ( good inflation rate: 2%) and US 10 year treasury yield is 4.55% and is interesting to observe him tackling inflation and balancing employment rate.  Whether Kevin Warsh able to be independent or not, we have to be defensive approach in the midst of uncertainty. Secondly, US-China Summit is happening right now Trump bringing many CEO such as Nvidia, Qualcomm, Master, Micron and etc to make a deals with China. Trump invited president Xi to White House on 24 September While I believe these are the win-win situations for the both sides and rest of the world. Lastly, As we still digesting the current events, I collecting premium income using cover-call options trading. Sellers always be love time decay if they did risk calculation while holding stocks why not open short-term contract it provides income and not selling the stocks.  Options...

What I did this first quarter of 2026?!

 During this quarter of 2026, we are experiencing Trump-initiated war on Iran. The oil prices surge due to the strait of hormuz blockade, the stock market is facing uncertainty. I decided to keep DCA on SGX and Sheng Siong because their solid balance sheet which I believe they can sail through such a crisis especially  SGX is the monopoly play in Singapore, as I foresee there will be many IPOs coming due to compelling stability, strong currency and foreign asset managers interested in EQDP expansion and Sheng Siong growth story supported by more BTO projects. I had closed Mapletree Industrial Trust because I don't see any growth in this REIT, will use the fund to DCA SGX and Sheng Siong, meanwhile the fund in the MMF now. In US market, I investing on MSFT, SP Global and SoFi whenever there's a chance. Sell put option Sofi to collect premium and willing to buy the shares if the share price fall below the strike price. I was expecting the share price dropping massively after ear...

Summary of my Dividend Growth Portfolio 2025

Image
This portfolio only concentrate on small amount of DCA monthly. As Trump commenced global tariff causing market uncertainty, I remind myself to keep investing on the good fundamental businesses when temporary weakness. I viewed tariff won’t last long so I continued to invest only in DBS because the price seems to reasonable yet slightly expensive. In second quarter, after reading  sheng siong's annual report  on expanding their outlets which align HDB Master plan and upcoming CDC vouchers, may boost their revenues that given me a sense of confident in Sheng Siong future growth and their defensive approach. I just need to remind myself Sheng Siong does contribute massive dividend but the future value and increase dividend are worth to invest in this portfolio. Decreasing DCA in DBS because the price is overprice  while NII start to slow down as the fed cutting rate. The third and last quarter, I continued to DCA in Sheng Siong for its strong fundamental during thes...

Adding more MSFT and SOFI in my portfolio

Image
Recently, I read the MSFT earnings and caught my attention that they had 9,000 layoff restructuring for AI revolution. MSFT is scaling data centre faster than competitors, the main strategy is to migrate work load  to azure in the result of increase high-margin recurring income. Cloud and GitHub will provide synergies to the mircosoft ecosystem. Whether the market down or up, it's foreseeable that migration is still going on. I bought some when there was a short-term weakness last week. Considering PE 36 and MSFT is near monopoly and higher switch cost using AI integrate all their services for the future. Long story short about the cloud segment, they are creating synergies by surrounding Azure.  I adding small portion of sofi and CrowdStrike due to temporary drop. I increased my position SOFI after their earning report released. I so confident at Anthony Noto's leadership, they raised new common stock for growth strategy in the future. This company will take advantage of cryp...
