It is that time of the year where I go through my portfolio and recent transactions. I currently hold 6 stocks with their respective returns: 1) UMS (-5.80%) 2) AEM (-9.52%) 3) China Sunsine (+34.81%) 4) Breadtalk (+25.71%) 5) VICOM (+4.97%) 6) SBS Transit (-0.17%) The returns are inclusive of the dividends paid out.  For more information, you can view it here ! I have relooked at the financials of both UMS and AEM and have decided to double down on UMS since my last post . Naturally, my portfolio is more sensitive to the semiconductor industry. I am still extremely bullish for China Sunsine that I decided to average up. Before averaging up, returns for China Sunsine reached +77.95%. Funny enough, my first post that was uploaded on my blog. I'd say I got pretty lucky! As for what I will be looking to acquire for the next quarter, that will depend on the next release of quarterly results. My plan is to acquire 2 shares per quarter (beginning

To those who hold AEM or UMS, the past few days must have really tested you as an investor. AEM has declined by 49% along with UMS which has declined 42% from the high a couple of months back. Here are the respective charts below, ouch! Today, I loaded up on more shares of AEM at $1.05 and I am looking to add more to UMS. Why am I still bullish on semiconductor sales? Here are the main reasons why I am still bullish on semiconductors.  Semiconductor 2018 Industry Trend  The business of AEM and UMS is definitely linked to the Semiconductor industry. More specifically, they both provide equipment for Semiconductors ranging from testing, components manufacturing, and even precision machining services. Therefore, let's dig deeper into the semiconductor business. According to the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics  ("WSTS"), global semiconductor monthly revenues grew 20.2% yoy to USD 8.16bn for April 2018. This is pretty impressive, but more importan

The 2nd quarter of 2018 has not been kind on my semiconductor stock holdings. Both UMS and AEM have taken a beating. As a result of the decline in price, they are no longer on my list of potential stocks to own at the moment. However, I am not selling my holdings because I am still bullish on the semiconductor industry outlook. I might consider adding more, but I am currently holding on to more cash for personal reasons. I have added 2 new stocks to my portfolio. They are Breadtalk (SGX: CTN) and SBS Transit (SGX:S61). Below are more details on the companies.
