Last year's divs, gotta thank

Last year's divs, gotta thank DBS for the boost.

Conversely, this year about 25% of my portfolio is still in REITs. Bought most of them during covid at a high and all are still below cost price (am aware of amortisation); holding them for diversification and for long term. The real reason is also local brokerages are so old school its hard to reset a simple pw so the funds are stuck, which is probably not a bad thing (ie itchy fingers too much trading).

Will be expecting lesser div contributions this year but hoping the trading profits can help.

Was waiting for a small pot of gold to trade with, sizable enough for small artbitrages to test out my non-strategies.

Same boat mate! My S-REITs portfolio still bleeding from COVID buys 😂 But hey, at least the 6% yields numb the pain. That locked-in brokerage account is the real MVP - saves us from ourselves!

  Yes, hopefully good governance and management of the S-REITs will eventually bring a good return overall! 💪🏻

It's tough holding through market dips, but your long-term view is solid.
