Make a mistake on SGX

Bought 100 shares of sgx at 8.81 and sold one day later at 8.23.
Add in commission, total loss around $85.

Important lesson to learn from this trade.
It is not the fundamentals of SGX, till the latest 3rd quarter results YTD eps is only 4 cents away from last year full year eps. SGX is doing very well but I sold because the price I bought is to high. Am I willing to hold SGX for years for a merely 3.4 percent yield with 30 cents dividend per share?
If there is isn’t any other better stocks I would definitely do it. Now I think there are more chances in other stocks such as  DBS, UOB and OCBC. It will be a mistake for me to hold sgx if there are better chances ahead of me.

*Lesson Learnt: Do not rush to buy a stock because of sudden drop in prices

50k net worth achieved

I decided that I would like to save and invest a large portion of the money and live frugally like how I was during my poly time. My goal is to accumulate 50k net worth by ord. Today as of 26/07/2022, my net worth finally hit 50k. I save and invest around 1k per month since I enlisted, for the past few months my net worth has been quite stagnant due to the correction in the market. However, these few days the markets bounced back and right now with the paper profit I hit 50k. Of course, paper profits fluctuate a lot. It might be a short-term thing. What is more certain is my dividends, my dividends from stocks rise from $37 in 2019 to at least 1.2k in 2022(estimated
