2019 REALISED LOSS OF $7.3K! [Expense + Trading + Investment Round up]

I must be the BIGGEST FRAUD!


Yes, this is very weird.

 After i decided to use some spare time to clean up my transactions, i came up with the completed transactions for the year. and i was not happy!

• Big Losses! In fact my top 10 losers ranking added 3 new entrants...
• No Big Winners! Actually there were a few counters that i looked at but didnt hit the buy trigger because i was busy at work, or really had no time to buy. kinda sad!😟😟😟
• Realised loss of an Income Investment Counter "Singapore O&G". I exited the position because it hit some of my reasons for exit. it is painful, but i guess better run away and redeploy my resources else where.

This perhaps just re-inforces my earlier thoughts that i am too slack in trading (here1, here 2, here 3, here 4, here 5, here 6). Moving forward with the Saxo Trading acct, i am thinking of doing it more automatedly & mechanically ( hope to share with you guys)

I guess the silver lining is that i have about $5K of dividends received, and $9.4K of unrealised gains.  Squaring off, i lost $2.3K  definitely, not the best feels when everyone is reporting new cap gains/ good dividend this year end!
