May 2008

Cash & Savings: $27,213 (-0.1%)
Foreign Currency: $58,522 (-0.8%)
US Brokerage: $107,829
Overseas Brokerage: $32,648
401(k): $19,515 (+1.88%)
IRA: $92,955 (+3.07%)
Roth IRA: $18,449 (+5.90%)
Total Assets: $357,131 (11.31%)

My total assets has dropped a lot from last month as predicted. However, I didn't expect such a whopping drop of $22,162. I have no idea why it dropped that much after reviewing my transactions.

April 2008

May 3rd, 2008 at 04:37 pm

Cash & Savings: $27,243 (+45.79%)
Foreign Currency: $59,004 (-0.31%)
Brokerage: $107,823 (-17.44%)
401(k): $19,154 (+5.05%)
IRA: $90,189 (+6.14%)
Roth IRA: $17,421 (+11.96%)
Total Assets: $320,834 (+9.87%)

In April I merged my shares from stock options into my borkerage account therefore it is no longer listed individually. The drop in brokerage value is because I've been selling stocks to meet an upcoming payment so come May my total assets will drop by a big percentage.

The other major change I did in April is to re-direct my funds contribution in one of my retirement account to diversify it further from 5 funds to 10. I also sold my biggest loser GAM Japan as there is no hope of a recovery any time soon in Japan.
