I bought the dip for crypto and stocks

Crypto

Back in Feb, I shared about my foray into the crypto world here. The only platform I'm using is Gemini (you can refer to my guide and referral link)

In just a short 3 months, the volatility of the market has been insane. I started off with only hundreds. As the prices went up, I bought more thinking it will rise higher. My portfolio then reached thousands.

And then it dropped.

I shan't act brave, but my eyes widened each time I opened my app. 1 month back, I was at 20% paper gains, but today, I am at negative. 

Despite that, I see this as a good time to DCA. That said, ironically when the crypto market tanked a few days back, I couldn't enter gemini due to system error. My husband faced the same for binance as well.

I currently hold only BTC and ETH. My husband has been more adventurous to hold a lot more alt coins and his portfolio is a 5 digit figure. I am actually glad that he is taking steps to invest as he isn't keen on managing his money.

Not that I am great either because I accumulate my wealth mostly through employment/savings, not investments. But, we are taking baby steps.


PS - If you are keen to kickstart your crypto journey, do consider signing up for Gemini via my referral link here where we'll each receive $10 BTC. Thanks in advance.

Stocks

Back in Jan, I mentioned I had doubled my stocks portfolio in Tiger brokers to $70k.

Other than deploying my warchest towards crypto, I have been accumulating more tech stocks and REITS. Since Jan, I've pumped $50k into the following:

- Tencent 

- PA Good Doctor

- Nvidia

- Coupang

- Lion-OCBC Sec HSTech

- Ascendas

- Keppel DC

All through Tiger Brokers. They are now offering 1 Starbucks stock for new joiners. You may refer to my post back in Aug 2020 on the beginner guide to set up the account.



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


Lastly, 600k in net worth soon.

In Dec 2020, I celebrated crossing $550k in networth. I am estimated to hit $600k networth in Jun.

I look forward to sharing this via a new post soon!💪

I finally cross $700k networth, after 1 year 4 months

I wondered how I should kickstart this post - should I be positive or negative about this? After 1 year 4 months, I finally crossed $700k in networth - returning back to where I've been at, back in Dec 2021.  I am disappointed.  For the past many years, I've always been growing my networth, at around $100-$150k/year. I had big plans to hit a net worth of $850k by December 2022, but the universe had other plans for me. Instead, I only managed to reach $646k, leaving me with a $204k gap to my target.  Ever since I became more aggressive in my "investment" portfolio in 2021, being sucked by greed to deploy most of my cash into stocks and crypto, I fell heavily, along with the crashes. Crypto wiped out 5 digits savings, so did the stock market.  To be honest, ever since the crashes and a bad hit to my net worth, I actually didn't do anything special to improve. I didn't make drastic spending cuts, I didn't stop my holidays, I didn't continue investing (no

Cashing partial BTC out at 50%+ profit

My first foray into crypto was during the hype. Back in Feb 2021 During Feb 2021 to Jun 2022, I added in bit by bit - DCA as what they say. BTC, ETH, MATIC, SOL and even the horror LUNA. Thereafter, as crypto crashed, I stopped, praying one day it will rise back. And today, as I found that BTC is now at ATH, I decided to cash out 1/4 of my BTC for some profits. It's still a far cry from the amount I've lost, but I'm glad I could recoup some losses. Just to detail for my future reference, I transferred my BTC from ledger to coinbase. And sold my BTC on coinbase to SGD, incurring an atrocious fee of $130 and GST of $12. Gone are the days of cheap transaction fees.  Please let me know if there are wiser/cost effective options. In total, what I took back was a profit of 50%.  May BTC rise up more so I can cash out at 100% profit next. -dated 9 Mar 2024-

Extremely bad start with UOB One

With the influx of posts on social media re UOB One (psst on grabpay) and the receipt of my house keys, I decided it was the time to sign up for a UOB One account plus credit card. It was gonna be the best tool for household joint expenses and joint savings. However, I've faced multiple hiccups that made me VERY frustrated....WHY ME?! 1. Delayed approving process led to losing out of sign up bonus First, I signed up for the UOB One card and Account in early Oct through Singsaver's promotion. The promotion said that I'd get to enjoy cash incentive for registration + UOB's promotion of $80 cash credit with min $1k spent within 30 days of card approval. Mind you, t hese terms were stated to end on 31 Oct , extracted below: S$80 Cash Credit for  UOB  One Account:  Limited to the first 500 new to  UOB  Deposits customers who either (i) deposit and maintain $5,000 or (ii) credit their salary, into their new  UOB  account for 6 consecutive months.
