Summary of December 2024
Portfolio @ End of Dec24
My portfolio gained 2.1% in Dec24, making the whole year of 2024 an average year with a 13.2% return.
It is just on par with KLCI's 13% annual gain.
This feels like a disappointing year for me, as my portfolio declined from over 40% gain in the middle of the year.
Anyway, it's still a positive return and I should be satisfied with it.
Year 2025 seems to be a challenging year, as Trump is imposing import tariffs on countries all over the world.
There will be a shift in the world's trading pattern and it's still early to see how will it affect various business sectors.
Nowadays not many people read blogs. I'm also lacking motivation to write at the moment.
In order to keep this blog alive, I'll probably just publish my monthly portfolio without elaborating much starting from year 2025.
Perhaps I'll write more on non-stock market and even non-investment stuff.
When I first started this blog, I just simply wrote anything I wanted.
Readers can check my previous posts from 2011 to 2015 to see what I mean. For example, you can take a look at the posts I wrote about XOX here.
Nevertheless, as the blog's readership grew, I became more cautious on the articles I posted. I thought I should only publish "quality" articles with good information.
Inadvertently I put pressure on myself and limit my own output.
Previously I can write a post in 30 minutes but later it takes days and even weeks to complete one.
Now the visitors of my blog have dropped a lot. This is inevitable for an inactive blog.
I hope I'll be able to write more freely like before but it's not easy now as I spend much less time monitoring the stock market.
Hopefully this blog will stay alive...
Wishing everyone a successful year of 2025.
