Last month was another crazy month. Baby Ong's infant care had COVID cases and we had to keep her home for slightly more than a week. We tried to look after her while working from home but it was simply not possible as she demands a lot of our attention. In the end, we had to send her to my parents' place while the grandparents look after her for the week. Looking at how things are and seeing our friends/relatives getting COVID, we can't help feeling that it is simply going to be a matter of time before we got it too although we are hoping that it wouldn't happen especially for Baby Ong.
We also got our annual compensation last month. One of us is happy, the other isn't. The unhappy one is retiring. lol. Shall blog more about this separately.
Portfolio
Leverage/Debt: $781,036
Stocks
Gearing: 30.60%
There is a huge jump because of 2 reasons:
1. LUNA price has recovered to an almost all-time high.
2. I have included the leverage I am using on crypto. CZM flagged out the inconsistency in my tracking as I included the leverage for stocks but not crypto.

The first time LUNA ran up to 3 digits, I was too conservative with using Anchor Borrow. Every time LUNA price went up, I would simply withdraw the bLUNA in order to get the staking yield. This time round, I kept borrowing more and more when the price went up. I would take the borrowed UST to buy LUNA and swap for more bLUNA which I will repledge/provide as collateral in order to borrow more. lol. That's how we bought more LUNA without the need for new capital.
In my opinion, PRISM has the best tokenomics for all of Terra's altcoins. They built their own DEX so people will have to trade through it in order to take a portion of the fees to redistribute to the PRISM stakers. During the launch, there was a lot of debates on whether pLUNA or yLUNA should be worth more and assuming the market is efficient, we now know which one is the winner. The strategy if one is interested in refactoring is to sell pLUNA and buy more yLUNA. In addition, with AMPS, one can further increase yluna staking yield *mindblowing*. On the other hand, I would recommend staying away from White Whale because they will not be able to deliver what they had promised previously. Basically, their arb bots have a very low success rate. You can go find out more in their discord.
I used some of the borrowed funds and IBC to Cosmos and bought some ATOM, JUNO, SCRT and UMEE (mostly being staked). Osmosis has also recently launched Superfluid Staking which is extremely innovative. One can now provide liquidity on Osmosis and 50% of the OSMO (25% of the LP value) can then be staked, hence increasing the yield.

wow, $1m jump in portfolio.
ReplyDeleteHi HK,
DeleteTechnically, it isn't a $1m jump. I just under reported in the previous months by excluding the crypto leverage which was around US$200-300k (SG$270-400k) in size. The rest can be attributed to LUNA price increase which is close to 100% compared to last month.
Nothing magical, just concentrated bet/pick on LUNA and I am expecting more jump in the next few months :)
Hi KPO, what are your thoughts on putting LUNA - UST into Astroport instead of collaterising LUNA in Anchor to borrow UST against it? Want to know what your considerations are.
ReplyDeleteHi Steve,
DeleteLUNA-UST LP will have impermanent loss which I would rather avoid especially when I am very bullish on LUNA. Hence, I only have some in LUNA-BLUNA LP or would rather borrow against it.
Hi KPO, thanks very much for your sharing. May I enquire what might be the most cost-efficient way to off-ramp UST (e.g withdraw USD to local SG bank account)? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi B,
DeleteIt depends on how much you are trying to off-ramp. If more than 10k UST, send it to FTX then sell for USD and withdraw the USD back to local bank.
If it is less then 10k UST then IBC it to Osmosis, swap for CRO, withdraw to crypto.org chain and transfer to your crypto.com wallet. From there, you can sell the CRO and withdraw the SGD using StraitsX/Xfers or just spend on the card.
