trump talk got effect meh?

now this market up up up only

SG MAS Monetary Policy Meeting on April 14,.. but press reports said MAS will not tighten,..

i still hv my own spread sheet... which is something like what SGX CAFE has.
but then.. sgxcafe.. is really good. however worried since its a free thing.. anytime can be shut down.

Not good meh?.. your holdings sure gained equivalent a few years of divvy already.. 

The currency now performing better than SGD is INR.. 

Ram's problem is he queued to buy at 0.98 instead of buying outright at 0.99. Should he bought at 0.99 without queueing, he would have made $0.11 + dividend

His account opened in Jan when STI was 28xx-29xx. Now 3182. He should have poured everything in on the first day he can trade

Of course, on hindsight, everything is 20-20 

erm.. i also normally do not buy outright. I will Q to buy.

how can it turn red leh?  All of us here waiting to buy...

Habis bullet how to queue ? 

But he Q at 0.89, then after that change his Q to 0.885 and eventually bought nothing 

Was referring to you....if you can Q, means you still have bullets 

Ok, to prove a point, have you made a calculation how much is $0.005 affect the dividend yield ?

Say,
Assumption - long term investment (not trading)

Price $1.00
Dividend yield = $0.07 or 7%

If you manage to buy at 0.995, your dividend yield will increase to 7.04%. The difference is only 0.04%

For 0.04%, you run the risk of being not able to add the stock to your portfolio
However, if your aim is trading, then yes, you should be mindful for even $0.005 as that will affect your trading profit as your turnover will be very big

I'm interested in S-REITs. Do most of you open a trading + bank account in Singapore or just trade using malaysian trading accounts (like Maybank etc) with access to foreign stock market?

To Bros Showtime and Ram,... great exchange there,.. truly brightened up my hard day earlier,...

TQ.

I'm interested in S-REITs. Do most of you open a trading + bank account in Singapore or just trade using malaysian trading accounts (like Maybank etc) with access to foreign stock market?

just noticed no one answered u...

if not too late:

1. what are the fees involved compared to buying BURSA stocks?
<rm100k, 0.42%, >rm100k, 0.275%. plus  some other misc charges.
2. when selling, is the FOREX rate good or bad compared to normal KL bank rates? I presume selling singapore equities will convert the funds back to RM before depositing into trust account?
forex is normal bank prevailing rate on the day of settlement.
3. How are singapore stock dividends come back? In cheque or credit to trust account?
div in sgd is kept in sgd in the zero interest trust acc unlike rm trust acc. u can use them to buy more sg stocks. only when you make arrangement with them will they convert to rm.
money is deposited into yr designated cimb acc. not sure if u can ask them to deposit in other bank acc.

note... to trade sg, hk, usa with itrade, u need to sign some papers with the banker first.

wah.... from 2013??? Thank you!!!!!!   
have to really give you a LIKE!!

I'm familiar with the fee structures in Singapore as I've read that up ages ago, it's just that I wasn't familiar with trades from the malaysian side. Thanks!

I notice when I put up some numbers, Ramjade would stop responding. Happens a few times already

He is good at arguments with words, but stops when face with numbers....

You should compare how much you would have saved with local platform. Do those who ask like TSOM a favor.

There must be a threshold when it is more economical and worth the hassle to open a Singapore accounts. My guess is the amount you save is not worth your effort to go down to Singapore and open bank accounts and trading account

Bro,.. not necessary to pay that amt, even if yr divvies reach into the thousands per qtr. Try to open SG brokerage accounts,... but, wait a minute, there's a problem,... you can't transfer yr shares over to yr SG brokerage, can you ??

You may need to sell and buy again, in which case, you can't buy at the good prices at which you bought earlier,...

Not directly only ETF.. US shares dividend kena 30% tax.. 

Using margin, you can get much higher yields, but at higher risks.

There are people advocating using margin for reits, the calculation works out very nicely. 

But I too chicken to try.
