ConquerorX also, keep in mind that dividend may rise or fall or remain the same depending on how much rental the reit can collect. That's why must see reit with increasing dividend (Dividend per share) over time.

Plenty of cheap US brokerage. US got estate tax SOme starting from US4.95/trade.

Nice. Funding for the acquisitions will be through borrowings entirely or a combination of borrowings and equity.
Which means rights issue coming. Come on baby. Let the price will drop.

Another way not to pening yourself is sell now. Buy again when they officially ask for rights abd suspend trading.

That time price will still be low.

Btw, hansel, since we are using DBS, how to subscribe for rights? AFAIK, DBS will auto sell our rights.

Really? I have thought everytime reits have right issue, the price will drop.

elea88 you have FLT? If yes, is it with DBS or MKE?

So just going to buy after FLT resume trading? (assuming going to do rights issue)

But by the time announced rights issue, price sure drop what. If you sell off that time sure rugi right?

If that's the case then buy on ex date? Sorry for asking. Really noob when come to rights. If really rights, this is my first time.

Reason?

I am not doing anything. If sell later scared cannot buy back at lower price
True. If broker issue a buy call, one should sell.
Elea, I think after Fed hike, maybe we can see selldown of reits. Also, UK election + ex FBI director testimony in congress may present some shopping time

If broker issue a buy call, one should sell. If broker issue hold or sell, you buy. Aims also all waiting.

No charges for dividend or maintenance fee. Just pay brokerage fees. That's what make it interesting as a broker for foreign shares. But the bad thing is high forex spread. One alternative, buy using DBS and transfer into Standard Chartered. Transfer in is free. They absorb all charges.

If you poor kid like me, yeah la. Need to buy insurance/have mortgage/buy SGD30k worth of unit trust with them. No money no talk

Money talks. Walk in and say you want to apply priority banking, they let you in. Sure no problem.

If your stocks worth SGD200k including foreign shares, you can transfer in. It's counted as SGD200k. No need SGD200k cash. Later during bear market, just downgrade to normal member should your value drop. They cannot kick you out

That's why I said I want to work on getting SGD200k worth first before going for australia stocks etc.

This is one priority banking with incentive. Others tak da. Useless (except maybe better forex rates). If you can get priority banking for this, go ahead.

It's no longer RM200k. The new limit is RM250k. No cannot. SCB malaysia told me must be priority with MY and SCB SG. (if you are priority in Malaysia, you are not priority in SG) But I think if you are priority with SCB SG, you are automatic priority with SCB Malaysia.

I think when it approaches ex date again, the price will rise. Need to recycle funds for Netlink IPO and upcoming reit IPO.

Eg.
You buy AU stocks. You use SGD to buy. If you were to buy using DBS, you use less SGD to buy AU stocks.

Another example. Manulife US reit. You use SGD to buy it from standard chartered. If you use DBS, you would have used less SGD.

After use DBS to buy, then ask Standard chartered to transfer in. No maintenance charges. Then use dividend earned in Standard chartered to buy more.

A trick I learned from a Singaporean.

Me also no golden spoon. I just need SGD100k. Then try to compound it 8%. Will get another SGD100k in 9 years

That's only for foreign shares. If you buy SG shares, it's kept with CDP. No charges.

After buy just initiate a transfer straight away once it showed up in DBS V. Don't wait for them to charge you. That's how I will play it. You can try comparing the price you need to pay in SGD. Standard Chartered SG is known for their bad forex spread (among Singaporean). If you are investing in SG, you should learn their tricks and trips. Be kiasu like them.

I am not very sure about SGD/AUD spread by DBS V. But I know their spread for HKD and USD is definitely way way cheaper than Standard Chartered. So if it's already true for USD and HKD, I am sure DBS's AUD will also be lower than Standard Chartered. This is just assumption (AUD is cheaper)


By that time 8 securities sure operational in AU/SG. Commission free trading. Takkan 10 years they cannot get their license. Also, maybe that time brokers in SG will be as cheap as Malaysia's broker.

It's almost 100% expected Feds will rise.

From what I read, it's 92-94% expected that Feds will increase interest rate.

Read it on Bloomberg. But can't find it anymore. Here's other people who said Feds will hike.

Property now so expensive in KV. How to buy? One house easily RM500k. Young graduates like me no chance to buy.

Actually I am from KV. That's how I know house prices so expensive.
