Compared a few years ago ,I am  now cautious of trading the market frequently to earn faster & bigger returns. But old habit kicks in , sometimes i will initiate a large trading position to make some quick bucks. Perhaps my instincts have turn rusty,  lost a few opportunities to sell my trade position in blue chips stocks else the trading income will be at least 10k +. Nevertheless, this year  i will be focusing to build my REIT portfolio . For the year 2016, I had collected $15629.29 in dividend income & $1439.44 in trading income Total income FY2016 at $17068.73. That will be $1422.39 passive income per month.
