Week 1 Highlights : DBS, Oil & Beyond Meat

Delighted that STI rose 5% this week and my portfolio value was also buoyed by it. No prize for guessing what I did ... “SELL” - to take some profit off. My biggest trade this week was around DBS. The rally on its share price was phenomenal, it gained almost 10% in a week. The …

Walk The Talk – Buy

It is a good Friday today as our local society moves into Phase 2 Recovery from the circuit breaker. I could literally feel a sense of relief and joy of people when I walked around my neighborhood to do some "shopping". But the same cannot be said of STI. It dropped 1.16% today. It has …

Nervy but Good Start to a New Year, so I Sold and Strengthen my Warchest

First full trading week of the year has come and gone. What a week! The missile attack by Iran on US bases in Iraq on Monday was a "bombshell" (pun intended). Market went down sharply at the start but surprisingly, it recovered by the end the day. Volatility was written everywhere in the market. If …

SReits are beginning to show weaknessesWhile reviewing …

My $Buy > $Sell for a Change – an inflection point?

A subtle change but an important one for me - for the first time in many weeks, my $Buy is more than my $Sell this week. For some of you who have been following my blog, you will know that I had been doing pretty aggressive selling in the past 2 months. So, it is …

From “SPH” to “Keppel” week – Expected Dividends & Dates Table attached

The past week was a relative quiet one for me. No major changes to my portfolio because there wasn't any reason for me to do anything. STI index gained 6 points or moved just 0.2% in the 5 trading days. On the contrary, the US market was in full buoyancy, breaking records after records. The US …
