Inching close to $200k stocks portfolio value. Free Disney stock for new Tiger Brokers holders

I had a few goals set (see left panel of my blog). 

Some were unattainable, some came to fruition by time, effort and perhaps, luck.

My newest goal was to hit $200k stocks portfolio value this year. 

It took me 7 years to start investing proper. I used to be a mega saver. The pic below was my cash savings milestone. I think I did a great job in saving those amount! I mean, $300k cash at 30....is pretty crazy. I even set a goal to save $600k by 35.

But I got woke. 

I needed my money to work better. I saved through employment but I don't wish to be tied down by my job. I aim to stop working at 40. How I wished I started my investing journey earlier so I can quit now. 

It was through Tiger Brokers that made investing easier to access foreign markets PLUS it is cheaper.

I no longer have $300k cash. In fact, I'm trying to reduce it to $100k cash - and pile the rest into the market.

As of today, I'm hitting close to $200k portfolio across Tiger Brokers and my CDP. Honestly, my CDP made up of SG stocks is dragging me down. The excitement happens within my Tiger app haha!

Update on Tiger Brokers portfolio

Here's a look at my portfolio value in Tiger. That's a good SGD$13k paper gains :) 

If I had kept the money in the banks, I wouldn't be able to see such gains.

This experience further reinforces the need to invest, and it has been an interesting journey riding the waves in the market!

Referral (shameless plug)

If you are keen to kickstart your investment journey, Tiger Brokers is now dangling better sign up bonus (yay to competition🐮!)

They are now offering:

  • 60 commission free trades within 180 days (instead of 5 when I signed up!!!)
  • 500 tiger coins which is a recent concept where you can exchange coins for stock vouchers (this isn't the most attractive perk)
  • And the best of all, ONE FREE DISNEY SHARE if you deposit SGD$2,000 (seems to be fighting with moomoo which offered Apple stock)

If you are keen to receive the free Disney share and use Tiger Brokers , kindly use my referral link, or scan the QR code to sign up😊

    Do not know how many more years you have in your working life. In any case, it would be prudent to have more cash in the wallet when the current situation is really bad. Just my thot.

SGD$1,000,000 networth unlocked 🎉

Image
As of 8 Dec 2024, I have officially unlocked the milestone of $1m networth 🎉 This is all thanks to the increased in value of my crypto holdings as well as my US stocks. My HK/CN stocks are still in bad shape. On stocks front, truthfully, my overall investments is still in the red. I had made mistakes in stock picking and has not taken the opportunity to cut losses. I had the view to hold and pray those stocks in deep red would go up - after all, I told myself I don't need the money right now. On crypto, given that BTC has bounced back, I'm sitting on decent profits. I've been cashing out bit by bit. The last I spoke in Mar , I cashed out a rather sizeable amount of BTC at 50% profit. On hindsight, if I had waited till now, I could have cash out 3000 SGD more. Anyway, this time round in Nov, I cashed out 2 times, at a 70%-80% profit. Not bad considering the rest of my investments. As long as there are no major global events impacting the markets negatively, I believe I woul...

🤞On track to hitting $950k networth by end 2024🤞

Another blink, another year ending soon. How have you guys been? I wonder who else is still monitoring my blog despite my lack of updates. Again, so much has happened, but not much have changed. I travelled well, continued with a 3rd round of IVF egg retrieval (result was extremely poor), and went through uncertainty at work due to restructuring but was thankfully able to keep my job. I still haven't fulfil my dream of being a mother. Though honestly, it now feels more like a checkbox to be unchecked than the actual fulfilment of wanting to nurture and grow a child. I think the weariness is getting too much. I will embark on my final transfer within these few months. This would be my 7th transfer. If it fails, I'm likely going to stop further treatments. I have already done the best at my "peak".  I am telling myself that my life is still amazing despite these hiccups. Anyway, onto my financial goals. Back on 31 Dec 2024, I posted my goal to achieve $950k networth by ...
