This shall be the first monthly Bhutan Stock Report from Australia. It has been more than a month since I started my life in Australia.

It went so fast to the extent I was feeling somewhat rushed. It is already 3rd week since I started my academic session.

It’s very hard to get a rental house here. I inspected more than 15 houses and went through that many agents to get a 2-bedroom house.

We will settle down – I can feel it. Have purchased a second-hand Toyota Corolla car and am still in practice to gain road confidence.

I have started searching for a part-time job as I can work only 24 hours a week. I am thinking of doing deliveries to improve my driving skills.

Because of all these drastic shifts in my living patterns, I couldn’t strictly follow the Bhutan stock market.

How Was the Stock Market of Bhutan?

Market Situations

The total market trade increased by Nu.24.40 million. The total trade was Nu.126.60 millions – 62% OTC and 38% mCaMs trades.

The total capitalization of the market decreased to Nu.59,077,402,550.14 from Nu.60,212,316,822.48 – a decrease of Nu.1.13 billion!

Benchmark Index

Bhutan Stock Index (BSI), the index of the stock market in Bhutan, started at 1451.64 and ended at 1439.18 points.

This means our index lost 12.46 points, indicating a bearish sentiment in the overall market.

Individual Stocks

If we look at counters individually, not significant change. 6 tickers closed in green, 10 in red, and 2 remained unchanged.

When it comes to significant gainers or losers, DPL gained the most, and then BTCL lost the most.

How CD’s Stock Portfolio Performed?

5 counters in my portfolio are below their purchase prices. But 2 of them are still positive. The biggest gainer is BIL.

This month, unrealized profit decreased by more than 3%. Moreover, the loss was the record highest in the last 12 months.

The Month’s Lessons & Future Plans?

The main advantage of living outside Bhutan is the access to investing in other countries’ stock markets.

Once I create a stock trading account, I can invest in China, the USA, New Zealand, Singapore, Australia, and Hong Kong.

But I am interested in the US market. The number of well-diversified ETFs alone makes the US market irresistible.

I created trading accounts with Webull and Tiger Brokers. My experiences may help you learn one or two, which I will share with you.
