10 yr yield is at 4.136%. Even lower than last friday, but Reits are languishing. No monkey to push. Big boys all on holiday. Temporary situation. Good time for buyers to pick up before fund managers return in Jan, when the move up will begin. | ||||

Ascendas.... It looks almost certain I will still be holding till past XD in the Jan/Feb reporting season. After collecting that third round of dividends, I will be at the low 2.70s series. From Feb to Jul, whether she will run to above 2.75 remains to be seen. If I am still holding, then a fourth round of dividends will come in during the July/Aug reporting season. Which will bring me down to the mid-2.60s. After that if from Aug 2025 to Jan 2026 she still dont want to run and I am still holding, a fifth round of dividends in the Jan/Feb 2026 reporting season will bring me down to the high 2.50s. By then, things will look brighter for me. Unless something drastic happens like many big funds left and never came back. Which is why whilst we invest in the stock market hoping to generate wealth or hoping to produce income to deal with inflation, we must set up a social security blanket for ourselves so that in the event the unthinkable or the unexpected happens and we get wiped out completely, we will still not die. Being wiped out completely in the stock market by a sudden and unexpected event is rare but not entirely impossible. And such a terrifying event, if it happens, will usually happen in such a way that there is no opportunity to react. Just take a simple example of being ALL-IN in a solid blue chip STI stock which has Temasek as its biggest shareholder. One fine morning when we log in to our trading platform, we are surprised to discover that that stock has been suspended from trading. Meaning you can' t react at all anymore. You can only wait and see and meantime find out more about what is happening. As more and more information becomes available, surprise turns to shock and shock turns to fear and panic. Long story short, that stock never resumed trading and everyone who is vested lost everything. This happened when Pan-EL went belly up. If whatever savings you have, you put it into the stock market and a Black Swan event comes along to wipe you out unexpectedly, you will lose everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. If you are still working OR you can still go out to work, then fine. It will be very, very painful but as long as you can still work, you' ll be fine. You can start all over. And rebuild your life again. Whether you will recover completely will depend on how old you are and your earning capacity. But you will live on. But if you are wiped out and you cannot work anymore due to age or health issues, you will have to rely on relatives and friends initially for temporary support and after that on whatever social support schemes which you can avail yourself of. I stand corrected but from what I have heard, no social support scheme is permanent. If you apply and you meet the criteria, you will receive help for 3 to 6 months. After that you need to reapply again and satisfy their conditions again. I believe the purpose is not to encourage complacency amongst recipients but to promote self-reliance. Cant say in principle, it is wrong. Otherwise, a lazy applicant will do nothing to help himself or herself and simply collect the handout month after month for life. Does anyone of us want to ever be in such a position ? Of course not !!! Which is why we must put in place a social security network for ourselves so that if such a terrible event should ever happen to us, we will still survive and without having to force ourselves to go out there to find work again OR to rely on social help schemes and to reapply for assistance every 3 to 6 months. How to ? Through CPF Life. Which is why I strongly recommend that you top up your RA as much as you can. Let' s say you want a baseline retirement income of $3000 per month. Top up your RA to the amount which will give you a payout of $3000 per month. Whatever you still have left you can invest in the stock market to generate income. If you are blessed and whatever you touch prospers, good for you. But if your trading capital is stuck or you lose it, you will still no matter what for the duration of your lifetime receive a sum of $3000 every month for your living expenses. Meaning you will be fine. Therein lies the importance of topping up your RA. CPF Life gives us peace of mind. No Black Swan event can ever affect our CPF Life payout. |

We have one cancer survivor here in our midst. That forumner did mention it in passing right here in this thread recently. I noticed it. Dunno if the rest of you did. God bless that forumner. Needless to say, I didnt say he or she but forumner so as to hide the gender. And talking about SURVIVOR, this picture immediately comes to mind.  .

Quite a sad news given " World Class Medica standard" as we regard ourselfMore Cancer Patients in Singapore Die, Compared with US, South Korea: PaperMore than double the number of cancer patients in Singapore die of the disease compared with those in Australia and the United States. In Asia, Singapore also fares worse than South Korea and Japan in terms of cancer survival rate. Doctors say factors such as age at diagnosis, screening take-up rates and access to care are among possible reasons for the lower survival rate here. A paper published by the Asia-Pacific Medical Technology Association (ApacMed) in June showed that 51 out of 100 cancer patients in Singapore die, compared with 24 in Australia, 25 in the US, 38 in South Korea and 41 in Japan. |

I will not try and chase de la. Very clearly, the offer is just to comply to sgx rule. need how much loan if everyone throw towel to them. At this point , at this price, with that lastest result? I don' t think the need to offer again till next leg, unless someone sabo them, by taking up offer and force them hit the next offer percentage. Not sure about their best yeild but for now, if they need to loan for the offer, jia lut for them. rest of story, easy to guess. 1.20 below, I might risk it, above that i better keep in Ascendars or MIT. but if you did try, i pray for your wining. good luck. |

Hit Day High at 1.28. Now pulling back to 1.24 : 1.25. See whether short term traders buy into the pullback or throw and run road. |

It is anybody' s guess and your guess is as good as mine. One possible reason is that this conditional general offer has raised awareness that Suntec REIT is an attractive undervalued stock. Its net asset value is at just above $2.00. But it was trading at below 1.17 at the time of the annoucement. Meaning this REIT is trading at almost 50% below its net asset value which makes it a steal. She is paying dividend at the 5% to 6% bracket. So I suppose both long and short term players are now showing interest in this REIT. A REIT trading at an almost 50% undervalue and paying 5% to 6% dividend yield is a steal for long term investors. Short term traders see an arbitrage opportunity here to ride on the upwave and sudden interest. We are not seeing it now but what if she rises another 10 cts over the next 2 weeks? Short term traders who dare to roll the dice will HUAT. And one more thing - the couple who made the general offer will also HUAT the most if the stock price keeps rising. They will have the last laugh.

Bro, any reason why the suntec reit price is going up? Are investors fed up with the low blow offer and forcing the price to go up to prevent investors from accepting the offer from the couple?

Day High at 1.23 so far. Opportunistic traders may want to consider a short term punt on this one to ride on the updrift.

This couple has been buying and buying and their most recent purchase crossed the threshold of 30% of the total issued shares of Suntec REIT and was obliged to make this conditional cash offer. The offer price is $1.16 because this is the highest price they have paid so far in their recent buying spree. A report I read said $1.16 is at a steep discount to Suntec' s net asset value which is at just above $2.00. Hence, I think most shareholders will no hew this undervalued offer. Suntec' s share price closed at $1.17 following the announcement. Now, she is at 1.19 : 1.20. And it looks like she will continue to rise making the 1.16 offer a joke. Hearing continues. |

10 yr yield is at 4.19%, but FLCT is still at 90.5/91. Monkey has cornered it to collect. Once he is done collecting, then only will it rise. Till then, let it languish. We need a strong monkey to push it, when he is ready. |
