1st half dividend of 2020

Due to Covid 19, the dividends reduce and the value of my portfolio has dropped quite a big sum. Bought so little during the crash, and did not cut lost for some counters. Before I always buy and hold, did not take profit when the price was high. Now the counters become lost instead. I think I have to change my strategy, hopefully I can buy low and sell high for some portion in the future. Now the economy shares are very hot, prices soaring. But I have little or non new economy shares, have to find and some buy in the future.
For the 1st half of 2020, the dividend is 3701.99, Singapore saving bond interest is 1135.08.

2019 dividend

The whole year dividend for SGX market is S$7795.14, which is equal to 649.59 per month. There is still long way to go for my dividend journey. Luckily I still got  interest around S$1501.82 from Singapore saving bond and fix deposit. If Interest also can be counted as passive income, then my total passive income is S$9296.96, which is equal to S$774.75 each month. It makes my passive income figure looks nicer.
There were some special dividends such as Ascendas Hospitality, OUE, Vicom on 2019, which may not happen in 2020, and the economy environment in 2020 is not good especially spread of Novel Coronavirus,  expecting the dividend may drop on 2020 if no new shares add in.
I want to add some more counters to boost my passive income, but the market price only drop less than 1 week due to virus , then keep going higher and higher. I scratch my head also don't understand this scenario. Maybe the central governments are releasing stimuli for the economy. I bought 2000 shares of Genting Singapore @S$0.87. I will accumulate more if the share price drop below 0.8.  I am trying to learn so called size positioning.
Hopefully the virus will be over soon, no more pain and suffering on the innocent people.

2019 Q1 Dividend

2019 Q1 dividend is S$942.71. Comparing to 2018Q1 S$732.64, it is S$210.07 higher.
This Q1 also got new income S$261.06 from bond.
Total stock dividend + bond = S$1203.77
Since it is bull market now, I am tempting to sell some stocks to lock in the profit. But when think about past experience on Vitasoy, I worry whether I can buy back the good stock in lower price once sell. It is really contradicting.

2018 whole year dividend

2018 whole year dividend is S$6939.98, it is equal to S$578.33 / month.
