portfolio progression

Dividend by mth.
1) hupsteel
2) plife
3) namlee
4) taisin
5) steng singre hwahong
6) tcil plife
7) engro
8) sats stamland
9) steng singre plife
10) tcil
11) ngil taisin plife
12) sats

Progression from previous portfolio

1) leemetal sold as deemed higher risk than accepted.
2) plife bought in january- recession proof healthcare biz. Nil rights decade history. 4 x distribution a year with ascending trend
3) engro bought in january - meets other criteria (undervalued, cash rich debt little company, yearly dividend without fail, pays at same time of year etc)  n fills up july dividend gap.

Thus portfolio progessed to one which has dividends payout every mth except april. Had wanted to add M1 for april dividend income but price run up too fast, now pe20.

Lets see if I am able to add something at a meaningful price and at a meaningful quantity to produce dividend for April.

Features of current portfolio

1) Improves and increases cash flow, in terms of amount and frequency

2) Removes fear to a greater extent, since most of the above companies pay dividends at those times of the year, or around those times of the year, for the past 10 years. When crisis hits, the assurance of receiving dividends every month is there.

3) Downtime, add more units for same dividend. Uptime, add less. Overall effect is still more units with consequent greater dividends received over time.



p.s.

I realised that taisin paying in april. so every mth is fixed.

The late realisation is probably too many counters to keep an accurate track. And taisin pays in March the previous years.

  1. Hi Paul,

    Nice portfolio you have there! Can I check with you, when you mentioned leemetal was sold as deemed higher risk, what risks are you considering?

    1. High inventories wrt market cap. High director salaries. High dividends, which burn out cash. These might be a recipe for disaster shd sales drops.
      High risk but high returns also for those who can accept.
      Not sure if others share my view.

    2. Thanks for the enlightenment! I share the same views with regards to burning out cash! Not sure if their dividend policy is sustainable or not.

    3. Yes. Thus i rather sell leemetal to get this reassurance n peace of mind over this uncertainity. This was actually bought from my tcil dividends last yr.
      I would be on look out to add a few more counters n fill them up from there using the dividends from the other counters.
      Thus i buy every mth. Brokerage fees are considered one off since the purchases are for long term, unless there is a drastic fundamentals change or unless i have made a mistake in my calculations n estimations.

  3. Hi Paul

    Wow, you can find a company with every month payouts (except April). That's impressive there.

    I am looking at one of your holding, Engro since it interests me based on the strong balance sheet you have mentioned.

    1. Hi B
      strong balance sheet is impt. But more impt is how the earnings from company is translated to minority shareholder benefits ie dividends.
      In engro, i do see special dividends declared. Thus, imo there is alignment of majority n minority shareholder benefits.
