That’s not expected until years later. So what are you going to invest your hard earned money into until then, if it even occurs?

Well, I bought with cpf oa and sitting on a nice profit since my average is about 2.60. So in the meantime just collect dividends until the price goes above 3.40.

Or sell and reposition with reits (6-7% div returns).

can keep and see how it plays out. or sell some to go into reits. there are also reits ETF but dividend returns should be less than 6% to 7%

(Bloomberg) --Equity investors expecting a big boost for Singapore’s benchmark index from its upcoming annual budget could be disappointed: heavyweight blue chips are unlikely to benefit from government largesse.

Aimed at reversing the nation’s worst economic contraction since it became independent in 1965, Tuesday’s budget is set to focus on the pandemic-hit travel sector or firms with mandates in line with green or digital initiatives, say analysts.

Possibility, shmoosibility.

The commentator in the video is just making things up. No one can predict what will happen in the stock markets. You can only trade and invest with your own conviction or make asymetric trades.

All bullcrap.

Pro traders

- Clear defined rules
- React don't predict
- Keep it simple

Amateurs however trade on:

- Guesswork
- Prediction
- Complication

If you take a look at the US Investment Championship winners past and present, all of them have well-defined systems for position sizing, buy and sell rules with few exceptions being applied. They even have proper screening systems set up to screen for stocks so that they can produce watchlists.

I would highly recommend a study of their systems and techniques and adapt them to our own investment and trading characters.

The youtuber is claiming that technology stocks has high returns with low risk and that SGX stocks is low risk and being under valued.

This is a fallacy - low PE value stocks can go much lower and the so-called higher value stocks like NVDA and PLTR can go even higher. You don't buy a Ferrari for the price of a Hyundai.

STI now is the worst index, means thailand, malaysia and indon index better than STI. What tech they have?

Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia have local demand. They are closed stock markets and locals cannot access outside markets easily. For example, can you search for Thai, Malaysia, Indonesia, India or China A shares stocks on your IBKR? So the local money goes into local stocks.

In Singapore the population is very small and most people are happy with CPF returns and property market. Also people who are more savvy can easily access global markets from Singapore. So there is really no advantage for SG stocks, except for the 0% dividend withholding tax.

I wish SGX was more ambitious, in reducing fees and attracting more companies to list. But it seems, they dont really want SGX to become a gambling den, they are happy with the 2 casinos and the Singapore pools.

Actually many financial trained people I know avoid stocks except for some reits and local banks. Many have never heard of IWDA, or IBKR. It's shocking for people who work in banks, but that's SG for you.

And their favourite financial topic? Properties. Ha

He didn't say this. Watch again. He mentioned other investors though tech stocks have higher returns with low risk which is not in line with Capital Asset Pricing Model.

Support this. Many just look at the performance of the index and not total returns.

Support this. Many just look at the performance of the index and not total returns.

Doesn't this actually mean the only ones worth holding are banks and reits (not sti)? Am I misunderstanding something?

I doubt anyone will neglect the dividend part.. but if dividend is your only gain, which honestly isn't high..

Anyway, you do you really. The numbers are there for all to see.

what they want is multibagger
like toto bet $1 at least get $30

To have a consistent flow of multibaggers, it takes years of holding after carefully choosing good companies to invest in and a lot of grit to sit through downturns. GME type of stocks are one-offs and can't be considered a multi bagger in that sense.

The idea here is which stock market throws up the most opportunities to spot potential multi baggers

He is typical of the PAP grassroots leaders who play the Sg market. Due to their grassroots "work", they are always full of "news from the bosses" of what is going to happen. They believe this gives them a trading edge over SG investors who are not part of the PAP grassroots.

The recent ST article lowering expectations about the budget is because of chattering by this group about the market-moving goodies that are going to be announced.

Then he obviously does not understand short sample bias. But obviously he may understand the essence of the crude model of risk to consumption but mis- apply the single essential parameter measure coming out of the model which is perfectly describing the behaviour of growth stocks when the general market is trending upwards strongly. In any case, CAPM model has only attributing one factor, the basic 3 factor Fama French model layered on top 2 more factors. Now we have 4 factor and 6 factor Fama French models + Q factor model.
