Image
  (Image credit: Freepik.com) Before I start, I would like to pray for the victims and families of the horrific tragedy at Bondi Beach and those affected by the floods across South East Asia. May God grant those affected with peace and strength in their recovery. Amen. 🙏 My review will start by giving thanks to all my friends for their friendship and wisdom. With your kindness and guidance, my world is a much better place. Please take a rain cheque for more lunches and coffee in the coming year.

Wolf Money(Thai Beverage PCL)sold

Image
  Cutting losses wasn’t the first home coming I was looking after two weeks of holidaying. Thai Bev had fallen below my support. I took the opportunity to clear the dead wood in my portfolio. I like Thai Beverage’s business, less so on the price movement. Sellers are willing to sell the shares at current low levels even though there was a cum dividend(1.7c) status. There was a 3% drawdown on the position.  Maybe one day, I might find my way back to the stock again. In the meantime, I had enough alcohol, time for a break. Overall, I don’t think the multiple trades in Thai Beverage made me much money neither did it made me lose my pants , but it sure is an interesting experiment. 😅More details at the end of year review.
