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!💪

SGD$1,000,000 networth unlocked 🎉

As of 8 Dec 2024, I have officially unlocked the milestone of $1m networth ðŸŽ‰ 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 ...

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-
