Investment Report 2025
Hi everyone, with the approaching year-end festive season, it is once again time to take stock and review my portfolio performance for the past year.
2025 has been a year filled with unpredictability and volatility with Donald Trump’s tariff policies, the resultant back-and-forth rounds of negotiation between US and other countries, the tit-for-tat antics of US and China as they alternately fenced and danced with each other and the war in the Gaza strip. Looming ahead we have the spectre of Japan yen carry trade unwinding. Investors in the stock market need to have nerves of steel, a strong heart, quick thinking and hedge their bets in such an uncertain environment.
Below is a snapshot of my 2025 P/L in moomoo:
As interest rates got cut, it was no longer as attractive to keep cash in the bank and money market funds so I was doing more active trading. Some of my short term trades paid off handsomely, others not so much. I will reflect on what went wrong and hopefully I can do better next time.
1) Hindsight is always 20/20. I missed out on picking up some good bargains during the Liberation Day tariffs as I thought the drop would last for more than a day; it didn’t. #CrisisEqualsOpportunity
2) I closed a position too early and missed out on profits when a seemingly soft-performing stock made a strong comeback. #PatiencePays
3) It is better to do a few smaller buys if I am not certain how the stock price will move. Only average down if the price is significantly different or I will run out of funds to average down. Sometimes the stock will recover on its own without having to average down. $SATS (S58.SG)$ #SaveTheBullets
The top performing stocks in my portfolio are $DBS (D05.SG)$ , $OCBC Bank (O39.SG)$ , $Singtel (Z74.SG)$ and $Sheng Siong (OV8.SG)$ . I also saw an opportunity to get in on $UOB (U11.SG)$ when its share price dropped following the announcement of its higher provisions which caused a decline in profits. $SGX (S68.SG)$ started trending down recently but I believe it will rebound in the near future. The total dividends received this year set a new record with an increase of 39%.
Last but not least, I am delighted to share that I am in the running for Mooers of the Year 2025. If you can cast a vote for me (click here), it will be deeply appreciated! ![]()

Alchemist111 : Not buying US stocks?
Dadacai OP Alchemist111 : I have bought a little Apple stock, but I tend to favor dividend-paying stocks. Moreover, dividends from Singapore stocks are not subject to taxation.
152517762 : it a journey. no need to stress
Dadacai OP 152517762 : This is why I am heavy on dividend stocks with good fundamentals. When the market is down, I can still enjoy dividends. When the market recovers, I gain from capital appreciation.
CryptoOracle : Who’s ready to share their trading profit slips? Let’s spread the good vibes!
