Review 2022 & Preview 2023

Year 2022 was a bad year to me in term of stock market investment in which my portfolio lost 16%.

The table below shows the stocks in my portfolio at the beginning and end of year 2022. Only 3 out of 14 stocks manage to end the year in positive territory.

These 3 stocks are Hibiscus, Master & Uchitec.

Apart from the hopeless Fast which has already been "impaired" long time ago, JHM & MI are the worst performer of the year with a 57% & 44% loss respectively.

MI was only added into the portfolio in Jan22. At that time, it has already fallen 50% from RM5 to RM2.50.

I didn't buy and sell a lot in 2022. Besides MI, I added LEESK into my portfolio, top up more JHM & Krono's shares and traded LTKM.

This "tech-heavy" move is the main reason that makes 2022 a bad year for me.

I sold and removed LeonFB, Jaks and Master from my portfolio in 2022. It seems like I disposed Jaks too late and Master too early...

My Portfolio Dec22

 Summary For December 2022

Stock Portfolio @ End of Dec22

Year 2022 didn't end with a bang as many investors have hoped for. KLCI inched up only 0.45% in Dec22 while my portfolio improved by only 2.2%.

Overall for the whole year of 2022 my portfolio suffered a 16% loss. This is the second worst annual loss since losing 28.8% in 2018.

Meanwhile, KLCI ended year 2022 with a loss of 4.6% which is worse than 3.7% loss registered in 2021.

Most of the share price of stocks in my portfolio remain quite stable in December, with the exception of Krono & LeeSK which rallied 17% and 15% respectively.

Maybulk dropped from RM0.435 to RM0.36 but there was a 10sen special dividend ex-ed in the month.
