Don't think so. The Saudi's won't stop until they choke the Americans.
Best part is they don't even have to do anything, just continue pumping at current rate.

Got some saying Saudi cannot take it Liao, they will cut production next month. Dunno how true is it.

It is a bet over whether they will cut production or not next month during opec meeting.
Saidi revenue is greatly affected this year.

 

[OngHuatHuat]

Sure boh?

People betting heavily on oil price recovery now.

Sure. If Saudi's wanted peace, they wouldn't have spent so much to start a war in the first place.

maybe wait 2016 suddenly got major war and oil spikes up

usually during war, oil and gold goes up.... dunno when the next big conflict will come.... might see new super powers like china or russia in action lol

Nice! The overall dividend yield of my portfolio is around 6.5%.

Wow high yield ah. Higher than mine anyways.
I try to balance between dividend and growth stock.
But I have all the stocks in your list, except for aims.

I also don't think OPEC will cut production after meeting in December. The Saudis just issued bonds in order to tide them over since they are running budget deficit ever since oil prices tanked. Besides, shale is down but not dead. But I think shale won't die off. Even if it does, it will be momentarily because when oil prices recover, so does shale. Whether the Saudis like it or not, shale is here to stay.

I might wanna add that barring any unforeseeable circumstances, I feel it's extremely unlikely for oil prices to go back to the $1XX territory in the near future, reason being demand for oil has declined due to increased energy efficiency, increased adoption of renewables, and the economic slowdown in China and EM.

I ain't very happy about this since 60% of my portfolio consists of O&G shares

 

[Genosis]

Wow high yield ah. Higher than mine anyways.

maybe can consider some banks too for a bit of growth, they now super cheap cheap

however banks usually don't grow as fast as industries such as medical/healthcare

banks... i think growth more towards like following the countries/regions GDP (SG 3%, China 6.5%)

SINGAPORE (Nov 24): Singapore stocks gained at noon on Tuesday, with a mixed performance among large-caps and little in the way of a strong lead from the US or other Asian markets.

The Straits Times Index traded between 2,898.82 and 2,915.04, after opening 0.03% lower at 2,902.71.

A total of 619 million shares worth $324.1 million changed hands, giving an average price of about 52 cents per share for the entire market.

Just my simple thoughts, in theory bank stocks will rise due to able to collect more interest from its loans. But then again, the minus points might be that the loans might be changed into NPL (non performing loans) if the debtor is unable to repay the increased amount of interest. Subsequently, it may also affect their net interest margin?

Do correct me if I had presented any of the above in a wrong manner. Haha.
