<![CDATA[Stock Investing]]>I also started investing recently, I have not much idea how to invest, so i did spend time to read books, pay a lot attention to financial news, listen to the so-called experts how they comment, i also study those charts, RSI, short-term, long-term performance of the corporation, understand the biz nature of the corporation, after analysis all those, i spread my capital into 10 parts and bought the stock of those corporation.


For the first month, the ROI was about 5%, i am really happy about it already…

I was just doing some updates and I find it quite strange. The investment we have through a bank and it has been there think got 8 years.. most time below cost of investment and now above..and few months back someone fm bank asked me to change the portfolio say no good liao but I told him just leave it ..
That’s why we have never bought anything from the banks. Overheads in the form of management fees too high. Easier to invest yourself by buying ETFs (v low overheads).

Am not rushing to unwind anything as Asia is emerging as the next market for SPACs. The banks have made large provisions and will be a matter of time these will be written back. Recovery seems to be already underway for Asia.

i am waiting for my asia equity bonds to hit back . down since last yr ... now near but not so near yet.

dunno whether i shouls dispose or not... though bond no need to monitor as close as stock

Interesting... so is this bonds that is pegged to Asia shares? Not unit trust? Have coupons?

[quote=MrsKiasu post_id=2017001 time=1615178002 user_id=43981]if my calculation is correct..for those having less than 1% loan interest, based on $1m outstanding loan. Monthly interest is less than a HDB common room mthly rent.

but i think this type of low interest rate is only for new property before TOP. once take keys, int rate will go up to normal market rate .
Bank seem to have money lei, savings/fixed deposit int rate is so low.

only local banks shares doing well , how abt foreign bank like May bank , bank of china in Spore, Std chart, hsbc etc ?- their fixed dep is v v low man,

For completed properties, most of us are paying 1.1% thereabouts - max 1.5% unless you locked in for a long term a couple of years back.[/quote]doodbug, thks for the info :celebrate: i should look into re-pricing soon

[quote=ngl2010 post_id=2016994 time=1615176022 user_id=40978]I'll discuss here instead of discussing shares at covid-19 thread.

Bank shares still rally today. I don't understand why. How can it be higher than pre-covid?

My hub says DBS share price can shoot up 70-80 cents a day and for a few days at that. Intraday movement up/down can reach $1 which is very volatile and not normal for a blue chip bank stock.

I asked DH if DBS business is making bigger profits after covid? He said no. So how can DBS shares shoot up higher than pre-covid? So someone must be pushing up the price.

Our OCBC and UOB shares went up too but not as excessive as DBS. Anyway, we already sold off our DBS at $28.04.

DBS is going to pay out its quarterly dividend in May.

DBS' Ex Date is 7 April. Usually the price will increase before Ex Date. I am very tempted to hold until Ex Date but lately the price is too volatile that I am scared :nailbite:

We also bought OCBC and UOB during covid. However, since we bought them quite late, the profit is still around 15%.[/quote]Oh Yes, ex-Date is 7 April and payout of dividends in May. But from now till 7th April, that’s 1 month away and anything can happen!

Especially now, the price movements of DBS (and other bank stocks) slightly on the euphoric side, likely to have run ahead of fundamentals. We took profit on DBS (too early though!) but still letting my two other bank stocks to run

We are holding on to DBS to till close to Ex-date. Feel I shouldnt be greedy, just cash in now. DH wants to wait for a bit . It has been this high or higher only for a short period in 2018 . Makes sense to move out now...
Probably will hold on to UOB , wish I had gotten OCBC too

Us stocks are so much more volatile, but luckily we are only invested in 20% in it.

Mrs Kiasu, so long as you haven't sold them, the losses are not real losses 🙂 Not yet realized. Hang in there.

Those who think unrealized losses are not losses should not be investing. Hope is not a good strategy.

Haha think what doodbug meant was not real losses yet just paper's ..it still a loss but if you dont need to realise it now just let it sit who knows it may rebound one fine day then the hole in pocket no more.

STI pre-covid was around 3200. Now is still less than 3100. So, bank shares will still go upwards unless govt issues new cooling measures on property?
Let's wait for those who knows abt the mkt to share..

For me, I m in deep 'shxx'.. buy and keep.. over the years earned 20% of dividend but becoz the portfolio is bad now so still significant loss. My position now is.. I think, wont do anything just continue leave it there..
