It's finally launching.

Waymo's autonomous vehicle is out and this is the beginning of something revolutionary.

Alphabet has been something I have been invested in for awhile now, and my only wish now is to purchase more of it.

The invention of the autonomous vehicles heralds interesting times for the world ahead; reductions in cost of deliveries, taxis and etc will seek a drop that will change many industries.

All in all, just so excited about this.

December Update (Portfolio Update)

Realized I haven't updated my portfolio page in awhile even though I have been giving monthly updates.

So here's the portfolio below! I have utilized a more accurate XIRR rate calculation for my returns.

Specific changes: additions of Altaba and Apple.

With these additions, I am going to pivot to more defensive stocks to add to the portfolio, as my current portfolio is one that is heavy on technology.

Future possible changes: still sticking to my point of view about Singtel, and will likely release the stock at a decent price point and if I want to free cash for other better alternatives.

Overall, am not too happy with the returns I have gotten this year, especially since I previously was investing with my savings and am now only able to increase my warchest since July this year (work work).

Lessons learned from investing this year : one too many.

I realized that investing has become a great hobby of mine, but acknowledge that active investing is taking up too much time for very little additional alpha. Nevertheless though, it is a source of enjoyment for me. Work my minions.

Cheers!
