Singtel gave twice discount offer,
1st time at 1.90 using cpf
2nd round at 2.00 using cpf and in additional think can buy some 200 shares at 2.00 using cash same time.
Those STA cpf discount offer which hold till now and opt for max shares should have 1610 and collecting dividend throughout these years.
I think it's $3.80...
But that's for non-Sinkie investors...
Sinkie investors need to pay $1.90 only...
With some shares having a 45% discount if brought under ST A scheme...
easy to see cmt/fct being safe bets but i am not too sure about mct..
This is the reason why I treat ML as my SSI shifu....he may be rude, but he put his money in his mouth with his GPGT.![]()
Actually I also dunno.
I lurked the forum in 2011~2012. Back then the star here was DW. Then I concluded (1) I needed a warchest before investing, (2) STI was too high back then to invest.
So I saved and started here in 2016. Then got so many new stars like DK, ML, yyhwin
I initially thought DW should be on good terms with ML since they both were value investors.![]()
I hope you guys understand the turbulence of equities 5 to 10% up/down is normal if you are going to lose sleep over this then I highly recommend that you stop. You are just emotionally and perhaps financially not ready or suitable
Yes, at least i got gpgt cdp statement to show my portfolio is real lol

OCBC book value 8.31 - closed 9.06 - price to book 1.09
DBS book value 16.68 - closed 17.62 - price to book 1.06
UOB book value 18.54 - closed 20.70 - price to book 1.11
all three banks seems overvalued at 6% to 11% premium to their book values
considering that they still have exposure to oil/marine related loans... I would logically price them at 0.90 times book value as a fair price
as such I do think that banks may have a possible downside of 15% or so
this is purely my own views and I may be wrong, I have taken some profits on my bank positions and may continue selling
I would be a buyer at closer to 0.9 times book or less
cheers
hmm.. not so sure about that statement. REITS were one of the first to fall during GFC. And they were hit pretty bad too.
20% yield or more from REIT also can find.
example of high quality reit for long term
currently 6% yield, 1 times book value, I expect dpu and nav to continue growing... maybe at 3% rate or higher

1. Drop your goldmine and don't touch such high risk high reward counters?
Of course it's still your choice. You could reduce your allocation to risky investments as well.
2. You are holding too many shopping centres.
3. -11% is part and parcel of a typical portfolio in any given year. I have weathered -25% before. With a low capital base, -11% is only a few thousand. Imagine when you lose 11% when you have a 500k portfolio. If you are unable to stomach such losses, I suggest you allocate more of your total portfolio to fixed income securities like bonds and preference shares.
Lol, this comment seems like you are jealous he has fanboys
Just take a neutral stand like me loh. Just take what is constructive, block all unnecesssry comment.
