1) Added more australian companies to my portfolio as there are still quite a few good names that are undervalued like Stockland, TabCorp, ANZ, NAB, Telstra, Wesfarmers etc with good dividend yield of > 5%.
2) Added Noble Group for its CIC stakeholder while  GuocoLeisure & Wheelock HK are undervalued as well.
3) HK IPOs market wasn't that hot and so, not much profit to speak off there.
4) Market seems to have priced in almost all the good news now and if there are no more big economic news that confirms a recovery, the market will be trading sideways. I am still holding to cash in Aussie time deposit while waiting for any further buying opportunity should the market correct downwards.
