Yeah bro,.. I was about to recommend this,...

For me, it's both,... their dividend policy has been good all these years, and well,... recently, their SP have really gone up,... before the ann't of the "Bonus Issue",...

So,.. the price has dropped back now for more investors to enter,...

Now share so high, I switch to structured products.

Very scared 

I can'ttell Kart what to do,... I can only lay the facts and the argumants in front of him,... 

I am applying fro a Financial Adviser License from MAS ! 

I have divested ! 

I can only say all the above,... hoping that my license can be approved, then I will play a bigger role in the SG capital mkts,... Majulah Singapura..... 

A lot of people are betting the 1.17 is under priced and the deal will be extended (>1 Nov).

There are a few prominent investor keep buying at 1.15-1.165 to take that bet.

if they lose the bet they get their money back and some profit(0.5c-1.5c). If they win, then further upside. Essentially no risk to them.

If blackstone cannot get financing to close the deal before 1 Nov, you get the accrued dividend. 

Some people are betting on that... Morgan Stanley bought loads of shares at 1.17... go figure. 

Dunno wor.. u need ask Morgan Stanley.  Hahahaha. 

Lets just see how it pans out.. but Morgan Stanley owns 4.8+% before the vote.. and it seems they voted yes to the deal, since acceptance is 98%..

Even more mystery.. 

At the grapevines,... heard that MS is beefing-up its position to negotiate for something with Blackstone / Cyrus Bidco. MS is not buying in the open mkt for an open bet that this deal will be extended beyond Oct 1st....

Well, this event will not affect unitholders anymore because we have voted to sell out units. Hence,... left or right,... we will just received what that has been committed to us. if we can sell at a higher price that their commitment, it' better for us.

There may or may not be further ann'ts or updates in the SGXnet for us on the above,....

Maybe... just maybe.. some trader at MS, accidentally key in a wrong purchase order.. 

Not the first time this has happened..     

Well they can always contact Blackstone and buy from blackstone at higher price.

How many bros and sis here going fro this IPO ? I've been banging my head on this IPO,...

You also need to note their fee's is more than 2x of other Reits.. maybe too diverse and too many properties to manage? 

Base fee 0.68% prop value (property management fees) + 0.28% of property value (REIT management fees) + 25% DPU difference performance fee.

Yield 7.4%-7.6%, but if the manager takes the fee in cash instead of units, Yield becomes 6.4%-6.6% 

The independent report by Colliers is a good read, describing some properties as unrentable, need urgent repair, poor location, even health hazards and best of all provides pictures etc..      Also report on current rent vs market rent.. also interesting.

Much better and detailed compared to the other 2 valuers.. no wonder this report is shoved to end of the prospectus. 

So I recommend you read that before deciding.. location is everything in property investment right?

u so fast hand... i want sell but this morning forgotten.
My average price 1.28... bought in Feb this year.

Sell so many counters liao... Now sitting in huge Cash positions not earning.. also not a solution.

Not RICH MAMA... poor mama trying to be RICH mama.

Hey Prophetjul.. US div shares.. any recommendations?
i can now buy from STd Chart so, no charges on my div received.

need grow my $$ faster...

i got 2 teenagers gonna be sucking $$$ for overseas edu soon... so, my $$ must try to work HARDER.

Bro,... UNLESS the income from the issuer is FROM OUTSIDE of the US !!! I discovered this from some readings in the IRS site earlier,... Hence, we must understand the source of income of that issuer,...

The portion of income of that issuer which is from outside of the US will not be taxed 30% against, with rgds to the dvd payout against that income,...

Ok,... I recalled you had some mining ctrs whose dvds were not taxable,... But the yield was a bit too low though,... I suspect if we put in effort to find such companies which have non-taxable dvds, there could be some out there,.. but it remains just a suspicion for now,...

If we are able to invest through Canada,.. there are tax exemptions,... need to try,..

For Canada, best to go for infrastructure stocks. Canada have 28% WTH tax on dividend. But Malaysia have tax treaty which will reduce the amount to 15%.     How to make sure one get 15%, don't know.

Also Canada brokerage needs one to put in CAD5000 first before buying anything. If amount drops below CAD5000, one will be charged fees.

One can apply via online/by post but the documents need to be verified before hand. These are what I found out.
