then why did you bother to ask?
just accept that in an internet forum, the majority of posts in the Astrea 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 threads are by people who never apply, just want to chit-chat about it, and maybe spread fear about it.

Will it become like the Lehman bond not? Don't forget our local minibond saga in year 2008

I'm cutting and pasting this quote here for reference so easier to find when the Astrea 9, 10, 11 threads are created. Someone trying to compare Astrea 8 to Lehman minibond. Nice piece of history though as there may investors who don't know what Lehman minibonds are

Thank you bro.
in the end did your qtn "Everyone will get?" get answered? or u already read up and found out?

then why did you bother to ask?
sometimes i ask qtns too when i wasnt directly involved or when i already know the ans. the purpose is more like for knowledge sharing to other readers.

Anyone thinking of buying up more via open market?

I am allocated only 5K for A-2, am thinking of letting go since it is such a small amount. No where here and no where there...

But the lehman "minibonds" weren't bonds at all leh; they were structured products.

if some nice people are retired so find time to understand the latest buzz, he can find time and read a bit more instead of coming in and ask questions that have been asked hundreds of times and has just been answered by an official source and not some forumners that think that they are damn smart

You cannot impose your way of learning over how other think and learn. By mandating or assuming ppl to follow your way of thinking is like commie mindset. Accept this world is full of ppl not tuned to your same wave length. Feed same kind of rice come out different kind of ppl.

Huh not its not. Its just a retail bond leh. Lehman "mini-bond" was never ever a "bond" in the traditional sense leh.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collateralized_fund_obligation
A collateralized fund obligation (CFO) is a form of securitization involving private equity fund or hedge fund assets, similar to collateralized debt obligations. CFOs are a structured form of financing for diversified private equity portfolios, layering several tranches of debt ahead of the equity holders.

Come, I cut and paste from wikipedia for you
