Q3 results for Banks & Property Counters will be skewed by the last minute rush to buy condos just before the implementation of the Property Cooling Meaures, etcs. 

Q4 will show a more accurate impact of the cooling measures and the impact of the US-China Tariff being implemented.

Recap/Sumary

1) Trade War US vs China US$50B by both side so far.  US is set to impost another US$200B as soon as this week.
2) Property Cooling Measures in Singapore.  Banks loan to related industry is ~50.2% (UOB),  ~47%(DBS), 40+%(OCBC) .   Q3 & Q4 results of Banks will  show the impact.     
3) Developer Charges increases an average of ~9.8%
4) Malaysia seems to be putting   on hold/re-negotiating China related investment in Malaysia, totally ~US$134B.  Affecting new loan growth in Malaysia for OCBC? This wil also affect the quality of Chinese loan our Banks have in China esp. DBS.  Think bad loan and provisions requirement in the future, 6 to 12 months?
5) Emerging Market Currencies Crisis, with Indoneasia affected as well.....probably affecting DBS the most.
6) OCBC and UOB have been doing shae buy back regularly with 50,000 to 100,000 shares.  whereas, DBS do buy backs recently to defence $25+ level with buy back of 650,000 to 800,000 shares, currently exhausting ~13% of buy back limit and spending ~S$176M.  Average buy back price is ~S$25.31.

Recalling from memory, numbers might be slightly off.  IMO, DYODD
