Liquidated all my Cryptocurrencies

I liquidated all my crypto from other crypto exchanges* after losing all my crypto in FTX. Overall, I incurred a loss of around 5 thousand SGD after liquidating all. It was a pity as the Ethereum and Bitcoin that I had was bought during 2017/2018 period. But I felt that it was necessary to liquidate all as FTX bankruptcy is akin to Lehman in the crypto environment. I had absolutely no idea which other exchanges had lend to or had assets tied to FTX. Moreover, FTX had showed a fundamental issue which is of concern, crypto exchanges are using customers assets to leverage without any form of safeguard or guidelines.

It has been a good experience learning crypto. I will reassess going back in when interest rates are cut and FTX's bankruptcy has been investigated. So that I know which other exchanges are implicated. In the meantime, if you are still in, do monitor it closely as liquidity outflows have been happening across the exchanges.

*Fortunately, I redeemed all my cryptos in Gemini Earn on 13 Nov and had withdrew all money out to my DBS bank account on 14 Nov. I have also withdrew all my Coinlist money on 14 Nov. 

My Investment Portfolio - SG (End Oct 2022) In the red or not?

- Added 2000 units of Mapletree Ind Tr at $2.15

In the 2nd half of October 2022, my portfolio turned red (i.e. in a position of unrealised loss). Then in the last couple of days of October, it turned green again. This was due to the rebound by reits and our local banks. I am expecting the portfolio to just keep fluctuating between green and red for abit. If it stays red, it will be a clear sign for me to buy more.

Mapletree Ind Tr is still the biggest holding in my portfolio. DBS has rose quite abit in the last 2 days after UOB reported very good results. I had intended to buy more CapLand Ascendas REIT to push it up to the top 3 holdings along side with DBS, but its recent rebound means that I will need to wait. I have limited warchest and am mindful to pace myself. This is the best time to buy blue chip stocks if you have a long time horizon.

I am hoping that this downturn will allow me to accumulate more stocks so that I can shorten the time required to hit $1.5k dividends a month. I was hoping to hit $1k dividends a month in November. But it looks like I need to wait till December for this to happen.

The latest news is that OCBC 360 has raised the interest rate on 360 savings account again. I hope DBS multiplier will up theirs soon! 

Dividends received* during the month: $60.36 (CapitaLand Ascott Trust)

Total dividends received in 2022: $11,718.36
