Hi,the market will crash in 2019?

Thanks for the info. May I know what your first choice to utilize SRS fund? I am also thinking of buying some ETF when the market crashes next year. How can I park my SRS fund before the SSB becomes available?

Hi all, I noted that next month onwards we can hold $200k of SSB each. The yield of SSB is similar to STI ETF right? If I'm not holding any ETF, is it better to hold 200k SSB or 100k SSB & 100k ETF? Thanks.

ohh, now the banks interest like below this interest, wat better choice is there...

but 5 years is so long leh.. they got give voucher many many boh... last yr FWD giving $50 ntuc voucher for placement of $15000 for 2 or 3 years , missed the boat haiz...

Next months' SSB rates look really bad to me - 5yrs 2.06%, 10% 2.23%

This sort of rate you still interested in buying SSB next month? I would rather get Singlife's 3 yr or 5 yr endowment rather than next months' SSB.

SSB is of lower risk and fixed return rates. ETFs are higher risks and can potentially earn more. Different objectives.

still very good for those who just want to park for 1 year or 2 or less

My first time applying for SSB.

Applied for $45k for my wife and I. Looks like we are quite close to the actual allocation.
