LIVE RICH LIFE FREE: Portfolio Update May 2022

Today is the last day of May 2022 for me to review my investment portfolios.

The stock markets have remained volatile engulfed under the immense noises engulfing Fed tapering, interest rates hikes, inflation fears, recession fears, Omicron variant fears, rise of US Treasury yields, Ukraine war, poor company quarterly results and so on.

Whether it will stay as a bear market or merely just a correction remains uncertain. There are emerging signs of stabilization and rebound. Nevertheless, time in the market always beats timing the market. Every market tank leads to a rebound, stronger than ever before.

The stock market always and only goes up, at least for the S&P 500 or Dow Jones. SGX and HSI have no guarantee of such trend though.

I remain invested and continue to hunt for income-producing assets and growth businesses in the coming few weeks, for the long-term.

My SGX Income Portfolio value plummets to $271.4k from $283.2k last month mainly due to the rather heavy correction of S-Reits to reflect the impact of interest rate hikes.

My US/HK Growth Portfolio value stagnates at US$17.5k from US$17.4k last month.

My SRS Ultra Long-Term Portfolio value dips to $118.6k from $120.2k mainly due to retracement of OCBC share price.
