Why do more want to invest in a dead STI ?

Smart monies parked here, anticipate rise of the index.

I have a feeling Sti might surprise us on the upside this year, especially how low expectations we have for it

Possible. The world is in insane mode. Just look at NYSE and Nasdaq. All time high!

Financials, real estate and oil and gas. These are the 3 main sectors. The las month or 2 have been very good for these sectors and thats why STI has bounced back.

Financials did well because yield curve steepened in the US. If long end yields in the US steepen a bit more then it is good for financials, everywhere, in US, Europe and Singapore.

Next is oil, oil prices have jumped up quite a bit expecting reflation and due to Saudi oil output cut. If oil prices can remain at this level or rise slightly, it is very good for Singapore.

Real estate, if we do not have another wave and lockdown, in Singapore, and if we start going to offices, it should be very good for the real estate sector.

So there is good chance of STI hitting 3300 if these 3 sectors hold up well for a few more months.

May the force be with STI in 2021 牛年

Just a few months ago，there was a debate here by someone who said it is risky to use CPF to buy STI. At around that time, I was piling in all my available OA in STI because it was such a bargain. Ended up with 37k units, 20pct gain and still earning much better yield than CPF.

Why many sneered at ES3 because many were and still are US bulls and they easily made many times more than 20-35% in STI since March 2020.

Has STI recovered from 2020 Mar lows ?

Correct. CPF choices are limited. Cannot suka suka invest in US market, but some people don't seem to understand. Oh well.

Yes, sector rotation.. look at the valuation of US stocks.. I am not surprised if STI outperform S&P this year.

I thought exactly like you. Must be my investor twin

Sadly I think our way of thinking some say is outdated already, that we will be lousy bitcoin/tech stock traders.

Which actually is ok with me, I have to know my limitations and invest within my circle of competence. I don't think I can ever become a tech stock or crypto trader.

My sole investment in tech in 2020 was CISCO which was old school tech and a dividend stock

YTD MSCI World Value is outperforming MSCI World Momentum.

2021 I think its not so much STI will outperform but Value will outperform.... which will be a relief to value investors like myself

Short-term trend is there.
If you look at last 6 months return, ES3 has already outperformed SPY or VOO in SGD terms. This is excluding the higher dividend payout that ES3 offers.

I advocate that SGX do away with the so call board lot. Meaningless. Should be like the US market where investor can buy even one share. Why insist people buy 100 shares at 0.001 where they can simply set the minimum price at 10cents. Same thing.

Board lot is confusing everybody. Some still stuck at the 1,000 share per lot. Some are at current state that 100 shares is one lot. But there are shares like ES3 or G3B where one board lot is 10 shares.

People should just quote in the number of shares that they buy rather than using term like lot. This statement is not targeted at light84 but as a general statement.

30,000 ++ shares

im using fsmone rsp to invest in es3. i have also some g3b shares with posb investsaver. im also planning to stop investing, since it is already more than $3. do you guys think if i can/should transfer the shares to my cdp? i feel that is doesnt really matter, asking just to have a second opinion... . i have an ib account, fsmone,posbinvestaver and also shares in my cdp, so they are like everywhere.

HK market's board lots is even more confusing than SGX + they have stamp duty for stock trades

Yet its doing much better than STI in terms of attracting major listings, so board lots is not the issue.
