Correct me if i'm wrong but are you trying to FIFO on Singtel? I would suggest you to stop focusing on chasing stocks. Instead, understand why you are willing to invest your hard-earned money in a company.

Anyway, when you invest in a company, it should be of the right reasons:
  • You have trust in its business
  • You have trust in its management team
  • You foresee potential forward growth
  • You find it at an attractive valuation
  • You trust that it will continue to sustain/increase its dividends payout

There are certainly more reasons than these but it should give you an idea.
Most importantly, its of best practise to invest and still be able to sleep soundly at night regardless of the market reaction.

Allow me to correct you.

- Have you done enough research before investing in any particular stock? - Don't worry, its alright to make some mistakes.
- Are you buying stocks AT any price? - Probably you have to understand what price is considered undervalued etc. Very subjective stuff
- Read more books / videos. Attend SGX Academic Seminar etc.

Maybe, you want to work on your goals for investing? Investment requires patience, price will go up and down everyday. Don't let emotion rule your investing decision.

I don't know. It depends on your goal right? E.g. beat CPF interest rate? Beat STI market %?

Run a report on your portfolio.

Press Report button --> Click 'Update Report'. Wait for a few minutes. Check your XIRR rate.

i also noob, i started mid-2015. from my observation:

singtel cannot buy if above $4
accordia golf trust cannot buy if above 0.6x
STI ETF cannot buy if above 2.80

not say 100% cannot buy la. but these stocks dont move upwards alot once they hit the price range tat i mentioned. hope u understand wat i trying to say...

another way is u go yahoo see the historical prices of the stocks u wanna invest in. if the price pretty close to historical high, den best is u siam far far. if not u buy liao will have huge difficulty selling...i learnt this from experience.
