How much did you buy in October?

STI ETF didn't go below $3 in October so I didn't touch my warchest, but I did a lot of small top-ups to my portfolio.

I did a rough calculation how much I bought this month, roughly S$27 spread amongst 12 different counters.

Assuming 4% dividend yield, it means next year I will have $1,080 more dividends to collect.

Hi limster, the 27k is saved up warchest? Can you share your tactics to buy in at every x% dip? How nice if we have spare 27k to buy in turbulent market because we have to expect not touching it for a period.

gets easier to save up warchests with the current high interest rate environment..

when u get to keep your money in fixed deposits or bonds close to 2% yield a year or those gimmicky accounts (dbs multiplier etc) which can get you 3% or more or savings accounts with no lock in (citibank maxigain, stanchart esaver), it is much easier compared to when you were only getting less than 1% a year with lock up

27k for 1 mth is higher than normal for me, mainly:

(1) I didn't buy much in September as I was expecting a crash, so October I had money from Sep+Oct to invest.
(2) Perennial 4.65% bond refund this month. Temasek 2.7% bond I was only allocated 6k, so might as well put the rest into stocks.
