Using SCB is it? Is so, will probably take a few days to sort out. Happened with the SIA bond as well... ended up having to purchase at a higher price point

I sold off my wife portion this morning and pocket 3.9% first
At a yield of 3%, not worth the trouble keeping track of it in my wife CDP....
I hesitated to sell mine. Was Qing at 1042 but wanted to sell at 1039 to buyer but somehow never get around doing it ....
Might keep cos it's just a 1 liner in my CDP

Why not keep this small 5k as part of your long term portfolio?
I am the lucky 50% with 18k allocated & my family members 5k & 6k.
We will keep them long term.

congrats bro. lucky u.
what works for one may not work for another. thats why in HWZ i try not to be prescriptive in my posts cos everyone situtation is different.
i earlier posted i already vested in other bonds which yield higher. so my whole intention was to stag the fellow and do a quickie.
its a good bond to keep for stable income. no question about it.

small small 6k each.
I might sell off too. Fragmented holdings are troublesome.
I thought if this morning open at 1.025, I would have bought another 14k each. Alas it was not to be..
Just a thought. if one needs to generate $40k of income ex CPF interests post 55 on a yearly basis, one would need to invest 1 million.
At $6000 per counter, one would need 167 counters
Cross eye looking at the excel spreadsheet That's why I seldom hold on to IPO alloted bonds/shares. The quantities are too little to move the needle..

I also get 5k each, without refund
Likely will keep both. If I sell, I will sell both.
I think no need to monitor lah but it adds a row in spreadsheet and CDP stm

Just add?
3.85*5 vs 4.35*4?
That’s assuming you are already holding both. Excluding comms.
If you wanna take current share price into consideration, you can take the total and deduct the price.
Example
4.35*4=17.4
17.4 - current price which is 1.068 or 6.8%
= 10.6%
Meaning you get back only 2.65% per year if you buy Astrea IV now, excluding comms.
Astrea V at current 1.037 still yields 3.11% per year, excluding comms.
Why do people still want to grab at such low yield?
Did they miss the IPOs or simply believe they are still better than saving accounts?

Put it this way, some people buy at let’s say 1.037 for Astrea V, sleep on it for a few years, sell away at 1.037~, how much did they get for the yearly 3.85%?
If hold one year and sell back,
They spend $1037/1000 share, gets back 3.85%, $38.5 a year. So the yield on cost is $38.5/$1037 = 3.71%
So the yield isn’t significantly lower even if they buy at current price. Same goes for Astrea IV.
But there is a time decay each year it gets closer to maturity. Anyway, just my view on why people are buying at these prices.
I think is low after included broker's commission if from open market. Bond hold till end better. No commission spend, except $2 tikam.

And you wonder why got hyflux
Answer is automatic.
