hi wavehunter, I have been buying ocbc slowly, 1 lot at a time because the USA banking turmoil will linger on for a while. Fed hike saga does not help either. I am not surprise she will hit 11.1+.  The other 2 bros will not be spared due above reasons. As these 3 bros together forms abt 43% of STI, the rebound will be fierce when things stabilise. Ultimately, the 3 banks are making $ and sound.

Bro investor, Thank you for your sharing. Good times come and good times go. Markets go up and markets go down. But time and time again when the dust has settled, the banks and the good REITs are the ones who never fail to rise from the ashes to go higher. For the banks, go for the big brothers, ie. DBS and UOB. Fot REITs, go for the ones which fund managers must have in their portfolios. Go thru all previous market crashes and note where the banks and good REITs were at that time. And then compare their prices back then to now. And you will wish you had the foresight and bolas to do an all-in with the banks and good REITs back then. Another reason why the banks and good REITs always do well amongst Spore stocks is simply due to a  lack of choices. Every savvy investor looking for stocks to park their hot money in will invariably conclude that the BEST BUYs in the STI are the banks and the good REITs. Which explains why these two categories always outperform the other categories year in year out. But that' s only my personal opinion. Please do your own due diligence and if anyone can identify any sector which has been consistently outperforming the banks and the good REITs, please share your discovery.

If you have capital to invest in equities but dunno what to BUY & HOLD and are open to suggestions, I would recommend that you divide your army into groups of 30%...30%.... 20% and 20%. Order 30% of your troops to attack DBS. Order another 30% to attack UOB. Then order 20% to attack Ascendas and the remaining 20% to attack Mapletree Industrial Trust. This is purely for BUY & HOLD only. Meaning no contra and absolutely no use of margin. Buy only what you can pay up fully and HOLD. The banks will continue to do well into the next quarter. Why ar ? A rising interest rate environment is very good for banks. Higher interest rate means Net Interest Margin or NIM for banks also rises in tandem which translates into higher profits. US Fed raised interest rate on 1 Feb 2023 and again on 22 Mar 2023. These 2 increases will uplift the banks' bottomline for the Jan to Mar quarter and will be announced in the May reporting season. As such, no surprises if we see banks reporting even higher earnings and maintaining or improving on their quarterly dividends. So going forward for at least another 2 quarters, banks will continue to see healthy growth. The Fed said there will be one more interest rate hike before they pause. There is no FOMC Meeting in April. The next one is in May. So that last rate hike will likely take place in May. Which will again uplift banks' earnings for the Apr to Jun quarter. The Fed also said there will be no interest rate cut in 2023. Meaning interest rate will stay high for the rest of the year. Which can only be blue skies for banks' earnings all the way to the end of the year. Which is why if you have the capital to park in stocks and you dont need this money for the next 8 months, you can overweight on DBS and UOB.  Having said the above, how well your troops will do in each of the 4 recommended stocks will ultimately depend on one very important factor - your entry price.  I have shown you their charts, their Highs and Lows and possible entry points. Buy slowly and buy in tranches to give yourself the ability to achieve lower average prices. All the best to each of you generals out there and May The Force Be With You.  |

I urge you to be careful with Banks and Reits. There is alot of stress in the banking and loan industry. With the inversion of short term and long term rates, Banks are paying more interest to short term funds and earning less on long term interests. There is also risk of loan defaults. I will avoid Banks and Reits. |

So long as the US government and Fed signal to depositors that their backs are covered, it will restore confidence in the banking system that no matter what, their money is safe. The slow down in cash withdrawals at regional banks is testimony that those who have substantial savings above US$250k and wish to withdraw excess funds to put in a bigger bank, have mosty done so. Actually, so long as these regional banks are not insolvent but merely at risk of a liquidity crunch due only to a run on the bank, it is okay for the government and the Fed to step in to provide liquidity to deal with the temporary liquidity crunch. Given time, the banks' assets will appreciate and whatever paper loss will be erased when market conditions improve. Just like for a very wealthy individual who has $10m parked in stocks, during a bear market, his portfolio value may fall to $6m. If at that point in time he needs the money to pay off immediate liabilites, he will be forced to sell at a loss. But if he is not in need of money and he can hold for as long as it takes, at the peak of the next bull market, his holdings will be worth $15m.  |

![]() This one is paying dividend next month in April 2023. Dividend is more than 3 cts but less than 4 cts per quarter. As long as you can make 5 cts.... 1 ct to cover brokerage and 4 cts for you, you will outperform the REIT Manager.  |

Stress in the banking system appeared to ease in recent days, however. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Tuesday that    large withdrawals from regional  banks have " stabilized." " The U.S. banking system is sound and resilient," the Fed' s monetary policy statement said. ..................they raise rate because their study shows the system can take it...............not really the 2008 financial crisis as this time is different............. Some banks collapse bcos they are badly managed.........see for yourself Credit Suesse, SVB , Silvergate bank. etc... .........Already some time has pass..everyday system is getting better............... ...........time to add again .......   |

![]() If from 2.77 she is going to show us 3.00 by end-April, that' s also a good run of 23 cts.  Buy only what you can hold. Dont use leverage for this trade. All the best for bravehearts.  |
