Our 2022 portfolio this year started on Feb 7 with US$224,115, as mentioned in the previous issue. Table 1 shows the allocation for the 10 stocks for our virtual portfolio, which we have attempted to equally allocate, using closing prices from Feb 7. It is to note that as per our previous portfolios, we will not account for transaction costs and exchange rate fluctuations in tracking the performance of our portfolio. Dividends and capital changes to the stocks, on the other hand, will be accounted for in tracking the performance of the portfolio.
