Huge sigh of relief though. A quick look at my performance for the month of July.

Recent Action

Quite relieved that my portfolio held up well despite the index registering a loss for the year. Thanks mainly to SATS, RMG, SS and Singtel holding up, partially dragged by M1 and SCI.

RMG

I've accumulated more RMG at $4.60 after its minor correction. I was quite lucky though, buying RMG at $4.60 early in the morning before it soaring to $4.79 at the end of the day.

Singtel

I've also accumulated more Singtel after recently tumbling as well. I could attribute the fall to:

1. XD $0.10

2. General market weakness

3. Telco sector weakness (again??) due to fourth telco

4. Australian dollars weakening (Optus makes up a huge portion of ST's profits).

Barring forex fluctuations, I still find Singtel's moat largely intact and this should drive its profits higher and higher. I found it a good chance to accumulate.

Design Studio

I wrote about DS and thus accumulated it. 1H2015 results were announced last Friday.

Revenue up 63%

Net Profit up 46%

Interim dividend up from 0.50 cents to 1.25 cents.

Will be accumulating more if possible.

CMT?

What about CMT? It has recently fallen close to $2. Well it looks attractive at the moment BUT I'm just going to wait until Fed raises the rate during September to wait for the aftershocks to occur. That'll be a good time to pick up quality REITs.

UOB

I'm also watching UOB like a Hawk. Sure, Q2 results are largely disappointing. But all in all, the bank is still a great bank (number 10 in the world, come on!).

With PE of 11 (DBS 12, OCBC 10) and Div yield of 4% (I didn't realise it is 4% now?), it sure looks yummy.

Looking for the next clear support before accumulating UOB. After all, my exposure to the financial sector has been very insignificant.

That's just some of my thoughts. These are not buy or sell calls, just some thoughts with regards to my personal portfolio. :)
