STI ETF

[Mecisteus]

Buy during dip on STI ETF, is it good choice to accumulate?

This ETF trade as normal like a stock right? When STI goes up, you can sell and earn the difference right?

Sorry i nood.

If you want to speculate, STI ETF will give moderate returns on the recovery.

Your timing has to be very good.

Yes you can buy and sell like any other stocks.

UOB dividend is half yearly

IMHO, DBS or UOB provide a better ROI than STI. Their dividend are quarterly and better too. And higher capital gain than STI too.
My plan is to use my CPF shares allotment to buy either DBS or UOB, and my remaining CPF Ordinary amount to buy STI when it drop below 3000.

Thanks for the correction.

Getting excited but feels STI can fall much further below 3000 points... Need to wait a while more when USA gets hit by supermarket runs which would indicate the peak of COVID-19 scare. This would then probably be a good start to accumulate STI bit by bit.

3000 super optimistic.
Try 2600-2700 levels.
Now already 2800

It just cancelled our tax saving in 2019.
Hope it won't recover until end 2020.

Hi guys, if wanna buy $1000 into STI ETF, what's the cheapest platform?

I saw FSMOne RSP the fee is only $1 minimum or 0.08%, but won't be able to start until next month's 8th..

My objective is to have a stable yeild higher than my housing loan 2.6% interest.

Time frame around 15-20 years if I really have that discipline to hold this long without getting emotionally affected by market swing.

With 300k cash, should I just buy sti etf at $2.90+ at around 4% yield?

And now we see $2.78!

Will it hit the low of $2.56 in 2016? What is a good price to deploy CPF OA?

If you don't have DBS Vickers Account, when you open the account online from 1st Jan 20 to 31 Mar 20, you can enjoy the first 5 trades with zero brokerage fees if the trades are made before 30th April...

If you don't have SCB Trading Account, if you open an account online before 31 Mar and made your first purchase within 7 working days, you will pay zero brokerage fees...

I think can really start to buy using CPF OA soon. What will be a good entry price? 2700?

I invest this STI ETF in posb invest saver.
However, these days the value keep dropping, is it better to let go of them to avoid being wiped out?

What are you in for? Long term investment or short term dividend? That is the fundamental question.

If for long term, and you have ample war chest, deploy them to bring down the average cost.

And if STI can “wiped out”, share value will be the last thing for you to worry...

Thanks for answering. It will be for long term investment.
What you mean is take out now whatever I have, and reinvest in again?

He meant if you have a separate amount of fund(e.g. in bonds or cash etc) that you can use to buy the ETF as the price are low now, thus bringing down your average price per share lower.

[bryant_16]

Ok I got it. But how much more to buy in? Any relation to what I have in there now?

if you are buying via RSP, just continue to buy.

most of us, dont know when is the bottom..
hence there's no best time.

i have around 30k of STI ETF
average unit at 2.84
paper loss at 4k

but fret not..

i have good success with STI ETF during my younger days.
and bought more when STI hit below 2k..
eventually sold them off when STI hit 3.4k
