For those near 200k or below 2.5% SSB last time, think how much do redeem partial and apply in same month, 10K or 20K range?
If not over subscribed, still okay.
Now all eagle eyes on the 3.21%, even if you put in for 10k, they will divide and each will get in multiples of 500.

More than 50% already moved their original SSBs.
Some really leave it as it is...

woah interesting they provide such stats
More importantly, how much should one put in?
depends on how much you want to get? cause no point do random guessing, imagine end up less amount subscribe, then you get all you applied and still got spare. will you regret?
With so much attention, the spoils will seems to go downwards of 9k...
technically can be any number since it is just speculation given no correlation and causation from previous.

Surely I am.
Even if u ask me want to buy GX22080V, I also happy.

Definitely, and last 42K was also unexpected.

During Sep I have already guess this month SSB will be good so hard to get full allotment. Now they announce and never increase the fund size still around 900 million and with media blasting this good lobang, I am afraid this month SSB will be super hot just like other readers share maybe everyone get 5-6K or worst 1-2K ????

Media seem not yet blasting the T-bill so readers in MM you know what to do, fast leg fast hand and I think this month I will place competitive bid.

My strategy is to keep subscribing until I hit 200k and if by then have higher interest than my existing will sell off lower yield for higher yield… now allocated 80k only still long way to go

Your strategy is same as mine but since each issue you cannot get full allotment, those monies refunded you need to put elsewhere correct? Care to share where you put? Those high yielding savings account, bank FD, etc etc ?

Totally agree with your view. Just like last few rounds back 3% rate people already subscribed till allotment is only 9k. Now the fund size is equal, this time the allotment will highly likely to be around the same range or even lower.

Yes, that is my recommendation too. Just subscribe every month, it will take time to reach 200k and maybe longer than expected. Most banks FD still not keeping up with SSB yet. No point waiting for next higher because it could get possibly higher with lower allocation.

Media coverage on SSB is like never before, maybe this is the only lobang to talk about now.

Even if 42k, think you may need 5 months with 8k each if overly subscribed.
That amount was high for the last 3 issue.
The rates for 42k issue was not as high as the 2 before the most recent.
And not about parking all in one basket, but if you can even get that amount.

I am going to redeem full 200k ssb ladder done in 18 and 19. Going to park one month in RHB promo and later switch to 2 year FD which is still higher than now getting 2.X%.

actually might be quite interesting to collate the speculation vs the eventual outcome to see how far.
