Yea. So i would need to add in another USD30 when I sell...

should be fine since i'm not a daily trader as you mention

Citi have the best rate in SG among the rest... min 18

http://www.citibank.com.sg/gcb/investments...tibankBrokerage

interesting.. compare for us markets..

citibank sg vs cimb kl

min brokerage: usd29 vs usd25
brokerage: 0.35% vs 0.40%
sell sec charge: 0.00221% vs 0.00169%
gst: yes vs not yet
custodian fee: 0.01% or usd100 per 6 mths vs nil

citibank may be cheaper for local sg stocks but isn't cheap for us stocks.
us stocks, about the same - too costly, can't trade also...

maybe some other sg banks cheaper; sg residents like here, probably using discount brokers for us day trades, etc...

Bought some Hkg shares. But would still prefer cash heavy at the moment

cash sgd not so good wor... will slide to 1.40/usd by march, so say the bankers....

I'm oso cash heavy at Hk$ and Usd side at present. So very now. Will wait and see

Citi Sg . i move my iocbc to them... but they not provide coverage , report... analysis... this is the bad one so far i just finished the call with citiphone a moment ago... i said " wow, what time now... you no need sleep ? He said sir ... i coverage us timezone pity him....

nice.

really, the sgreits i follow have all reported better results, prices go up.

cldtrust did well. aimsamp now pushing for 1.49 should be good too.



but the one i really like.... firstreit. this one, twice in a row, price goes up even after ex-div!

ya... damn the firstreit... i missed this boat

yeap.. all my reits go up except LIPPO...

now got money sitting idle..dunno what 2 buy

buy Starhill?

i wud buy starhill and aimsamp - price not too high, yield still acceptable and before div ex.

i decided not to sell suntec, so no new money to buy...

i reit global everyday drop 1 sen...

today SG REITS red col...

ya, this iglobal isn't looking good. no div yet, low volumes everyday.
if first div is below expectation, all will start to dump.


not just sgreit - everywhere red.

only bursa not so red... maybe low oil price is suddenly very good, since net importer now?

All market in RED..... actually is good for investors to come in

iReit income in Euro $ so maybe problem a bit if no new aquisition in the near term. don't u think so ?

plus point is, we grow with this YOUNG reit over time...

Minus point is EXHANGE RATE risk....

Anyway, my aim is diversification to EUROPE.. so, will do nothing and wait.

i agree... give it a little time.

euro may be weak but sgd is also going thru easing.

market forces will take time to find equilibrium.

usd, euro, sgd are reliable currencies.

just dun go for commodity driven currencies like ruble or even aud as commodity prices will likely stay low for a couple of years at least.

For DBS Vickers, may I know do they provide those services like nominee accounts whereby we will pay some fees so that we can ask them to subscribe to rights issue etc? If not, then will be a bit troublesome right?

Also, do they charge for accepting dividends into "trust" account? Or, are the dividends credited straight into our singapore bank accounts? If credited straight into singapore bank accounts, are there any "processing fees" charged by the bank?

TQ so much for answers!
