July 2026 Portfolio Update: Channeling "Berkshire Time"

July 2036 portfolio gained SGD45000 or 8.3%. Dividend collection is SGD14000 year to date.

During the dot-com crash of 2000, Berkshire Hathaway surged over 26% while the tech-heavy NASDAQ plummeted nearly 40%. This period perfectly illustrates "Berkshire Time"—a phenomenon where conservative, value-driven strategies shine while speculative markets crumble.

My core portfolio mirrors this defensive philosophy, focusing heavily on Singapore (SG) and Hong Kong (HK) dividend-paying blue chips. To add a bit of growth potential, I maintain a smaller satellite portfolio dedicated to deeply discounted Hang Seng TECH (HS Tech) stocks.

While this value-and-yield approach frequently lags behind during aggressive, growth-fueled market rallies, it proved its worth this month by successfully beating the broader market in July.

AI Trade Cools: SOX Drops 4.3%, TSMC Net Profit Surges 77% Yet Closes Lower — Hardware Oversold?
US AI trades broadly sold off Thursday: Nasdaq −1.47%, SOX −4.3%, TSMC closing lower despite Q2 net profit +77% YoY; memory, storage, and chips hit hard as VIX jumped 6.76%. But ASML's raised guidance shows AI-compute demand stays firm. The fear isn't collapsing demand — it's when hyperscaler capex becomes revenue and cash flow. As earnings beats fail to move stocks, the AI trade may be shifting from "chasing hardware" to "validating returns." Profit-taking, or a real capex inflection?
