Can start changing sgd rm is strengthing

i am waiting for dividends to come it, then buy together.



rm gaining - mainly due to downed russian jet-middle east tensions.

oil price gained >5% in a week, good for oil exporting country currencies.

question is will tensions escalate, fighting erupts or it will cool?

plus, >70% fed will hike rates on dec 16.

may be good chance to buy usd or sgd in the next week or two.

As for a start, intend to buy Keppel Reit and Cache Logistic. But why the price dropped so much? Advisable to go in now as fed might increase rate.

Industrial reits are generally down as the economy is expected to shrink

Oooh.. then shall I go for Starhills / Lippo and First Reits? Hmm

those 3... err...!

starhill is at best stable, have not appr for 2 yrs. likely suffering from weak aussie $.

lippo - i cut loss, junked a year ago.

first reit - was the brightest star but was killed recently when riardy alluded to it moving to jakarta. bad taste lingers.

industrials not very promising at this time, but do look at aimsamp amd soilbuildbiz - been good to me.

overall, i am confident of the largest cap retail/comm ones - suntec, capitamall, capitacomm - should bounce back strong when the fed story eases.

your capitalmall & comm up up up now Christmas + year end shopping spree?

hope they keep going!

Let me do some research tonight. Thanks

Keep going up or keep going down as we approach the Feds day...

just don't wait too long to buy what you want.

6 months = 1/2 yr dividends = 3-3.5%.

Anyone looking at china based reit/trusts, eg CRCT, now that rmb is accepted into imf?

Parkway life reit any good?

For China, i have this.

Mapletree Greater China Commercial Trust engages in the investment of various real estate properties for commercial purposes in the Greater China region. It invests in real estate properties for retail and/or office purposes, as well as other real estate-related assets. The company is based in Singapore.

u can also check out JAPAN.
Croesus RTrust

Mapletree looks good - mixture of retail + offices. CRCT is 100 retail, if not mistaken.

I have got some Croesus, so far stable at 0.80.
