Yup. Telcos FTW!

I invest in First REIT bcos of the aging population in Singapore.

I am just puzzle as to why Singaporeans generally do not really like Plantation Stocks. Maybe they are of the High Tech Group so Plantations are of low class type of investments ?

Can share a bit of your thinking with us as a Singaporean ?

Thanks

I believe there are Singaporeans who invested in stocks like Golden Agriculture and First Resource. But maybe not as popular as other stocks. Many Singaporeans love to play penny stocks. Fast profits. Lol.

For me, the reasons are simple. Firstly, I do not completely understand the plantation business. Secondly, the free cash flow of the business is not very strong. Lastly, I prefer to invest in business that I can see everyday with my eyes. All the plantations are not in Singapore, so I dun feel confident.

Personally, I prefer telcos and REITs, bcos I can see people using smartphones and internet everyday. I can also visit the shopping malls too.

Just bought an agri stock last week
ChinaMinzhong......this stock is trading at P/E pf approx 3!

AAAhhhh AIMS is good like Sabana....but its very difficult to collect...i boughtAIMS at 106, 110,112...waiting
for correction but not easy

Ascendas REIT and Maple Industrial Trust also quite good.

wilmar price i think already stabilize, all negative news already factor in ..... anyhow it was a growth biz worth to have a look ...... any followers here?

Ascendas and Maple's prospective div yield at 6.86% and 6,54% is too low for me at this time........

compared to sabana at 9.4% and AIMS at 9.2%

How do u figure it's a growth biz? Its EPS growth is hardly impressive. It is already Asia's biggest agri-business firm, so its hard to grow at breakneck speed.

I prefer Noble.

expanding rapidly, sugarcane biz not impressive bcoz of non crop seasons, the oil palms price drops last quarter ..... shud be alright for next quarter. it was still seeking biz to acquire and this is what i mean growth biz .....

It's the weak oilseed & grain margins that's giving Wilmar problems, not the palm oil division which is still doing well

Yes, Wilmar is still seeking to acquire business. But as I wrote, Wilmar is already so big that contribution from new businesses to its EPS growth will be small. And EPS growth is what matters.

cambridge and aimsampi reits which is better? thank you.

guys how about cosco?

I prefer AIMS.

New property ready by year end at 20 Gul Way.

100% fully leased oredi.

aims and suntec reit is heading up up UP!!! my SG portfolio in all time high mode ..... while MY portfolio flat hooray SG

Hey everyone, just wondering which platform you use to trade SG stocks?

As in Malaysian Stocks, I am using Hlebroking.

Thanks for your reply!

Same here

sorry.. can I ask about the rate for trading in SG with HLE platform ?

Got this when i started several months back (Feb/Mar 2012).
Look at the "Foreign Currency" columns for each country for multi-currency a/c
Look at the "RM" columns for each country if not opting for multi-currency a/c
Note: I'm just a customer/user - not attached to HLeB. Please call to get the latest data yar (just in case of changes)
