[Mr. Wood]

I focus on US and SGX stocks becoz of lower commissions.
there are no custodian fees since I use CDP and TD Ameritrade.

If I use other brokers such as saxo philip and the likes, there is a high broker commission and I hav to trade frequently or hav a min balance to get the custodian fees waived.

not my type.


if anyone knows of broker with very low fees, or any other markets with no tax on dividends or capital gains. pls let me know.
will be happy to search for free stocks analysis and share.

Hi Mr Wood,

Chanced upon this thread after reading Get Rich With Dividends by Marc Litchenfeld and learning about aristocrats stocks.

I am interested in how you build a US dividend portfolio in sg as the 30% withholding tax and Forex risks makes it unappealing. Do you mind sharing how long have you invested and how are the yields so far?

Do you enroll in the dividend reinvestment programme for your US stocks as well?

EU Stops the Clock on Review of Boeing Deal With Embraer
November 11, 2019

The European Commission has been investigating the venture, warning that the deal could remove Embraer as the third-largest global competitor to both Boeing and Airbus SE, which “may therefore result in higher prices and less choice.” The commission, one of the world’s toughest merger regulators, said Monday that it “stopped the clock” and a review can only be restarted once it gets the answers it needs.

communist rely on one man rule. but it has power to push through policies (corruption aside)

hi there,

i wanted to diversify anyway. so forex is not a concern. whether i buy unit trusts, ETF, or property, there will be forex risk anyway.
my main concern is whether the broker charge custodian and inactivity fees anot. sometimes i can dun trade in months if there are no opportunities.

started ard 2017. had not calculate the overall yield. estimate maybe 2-3%.
currently is abt 2% DY. which is nothing compared to SG riets.
but my game is long term 10-20-30 yrs. so even with 30% tax, i will wait to get more divys in future. SG reits dunno nxt time will delist or not.

not in their reinvestment program. i prefer to take the money and invest in the best yielding stock at the time. but oso i think not all stocks hav this. dunno. hav to check with yr broker.

NVIDIA Announces Financial Results for Third Quarter Fiscal 2020

November 14, 2019

“Our gaming business and demand from hyperscale customers powered Q3’s results,“ said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “The realism of computer graphics is taking a giant leap forward with NVIDIA RTX.

“This quarter, we have laid the foundation for where AI will ultimately make the greatest impact. We extended our reach beyond the cloud, to the edge, where GPU-accelerated 5G, AI and IoT will revolutionize the world’s largest industries. We see strong data center growth ahead, driven by the rise of conversational AI and inference.”

The company will return to repurchasing its stock after closing the acquisition of Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. Although discussions with the European Union and China regulatory bodies are progressing and closing the acquisition is possible by the end of this calendar year, the company believes the closing will likely occur in the early part of calendar 2020.
