Who else is seriously drooling at today's buffet?

[actman]

The "mini" buffet is over. At the price right now, this buffet really doesn't look as delicious.

That is a interesting thought you have. I never look at it that way. But your assumption is that you would be able to buy back what you sold at the same or lower prices, which isn't always the case?

Why must buy back the same stock if the price you going to buy is the same as the price u sold?

Unless the whole stock exchange only has 1 to 10 stocks. There are tonnes of stocks out there which are winners.

Would I be saying that those who chose to give up huge capital gains but still keeping on to dividends are because they assume prices would not fall lower to what they have bought?

If u look at many stocks , many are trading at a range even
over a few years.
Sell if u believe it is overpriced & grab it later.
Even stocks like FraserCentrepoint , Starhub etc are not spared.

I get your drift, but i believe most investors hold on to their stocks despite huge capital gains because they believe the business is doing well and therefore more upside to capital gains and not solely hanging on for dividend gains. Correct or wrong?

Think their mindset is investing into the business, not banging on Technical Chart Movements?

Singapore will not grow as fast compared to past years, so tighten our belts and have a lower expectation on investment returns.

Look at businesses with overseas exposure, Japan is a dark horse, it's down but not out yet. Abe's 3 arrows might reignite the japanese economy, leading to increased consumption. Croesus retail trust is in the shopping mall business, it will reap the benefits, back stop by a enticing 8% dividend yield. Get the hint?

It will take time for them to rebound. Doesn't the depreciation of the yen would affect the balance of payment and external debt negatively, especially in the short term?

SINGAPORE: The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has introduced additional new measures to cool the property market.

The central bank said in a statement on Friday that the new rules, which would take effect on Saturday, would ensure that a property buyer's monthly payments do not exceed 60 per cent of his income.

"The TDSR (total debt servicing ratio) will apply to loans for the purchase of all types of property, loans secured on property, and the re-financing of all such loans," it said.

MAS said the rules would help strengthen credit underwriting practices of financial institutions and encourage financial prudence among borrowers.

MAS will also refine rules related to the application of the existing Loan-to Value (LTV) limits on housing loans.

The bank said these refinements seek to ensure the effectiveness of the loan limits that were put in place to cool investment demand in the housing market.

In particular, they aim to prevent home buyers from circumventing the tighter loan limits on second and subsequent housing loans.

When working out loans to be granted to home buyers, banks will have to consider the monthly repayment for the property loan that the borrower is applying for, plus all his other outstanding debt obligations.

Banks will also have to apply a specified medium-term interest rate or the prevailing market interest rate, whichever is higher, to the property loan that the borrower is applying for.

The financial institutions will also have to discount at least 30 per cent of the borrower's variable income, such as bonuses, and rental income.

MAS said its inspection of banks showed uneven practices with respect to the application of debt servicing ratios and highlighted areas for improvement in credit underwriting practices

The buffet for the banks housing loan is over. But they already had their fill.

Sometimes the reason why the fruits are low hanging is because they are poisonous.

When it's so easy to earn money, you have to find out why no one else is biting.

Worries on China are quite valid actually. Recent statements by their government not to focus too much on GDP suggests that wealth might not circulate as quickly as 20 years ago.

OSK-DMG analyst forecasts the possibility of a interim dividend because of their purchase of Neratel Malaysia (it just earned 5 million in cash profit). Maybe that's why?

More likely because the 2 telcos that won the Myanmar bids are long standing customers of Neratel so mkt expect net profit upside.
