I missed the boat when it was less than <$5.

Too bad I'm using BCIP.

after sell.. dunno what to buy. or should i say dunno what time is right to buy...

bro AVFAN, did you still keep your CCT? What is your view on them after they listed in one of the SCI blue chip?

my view is at this time, all markets are driven by us markets.

and us markets are primarily driven by crude price.

crude price has recovered from 26 to 38 in just 1 month.

it may continue to gain but will take a breather before that.

i see a chance to buy in the next couple of weeks.

capitacom trust... still keeping but will not add.

this one is not as shiny as it once was.

but good to keep since it is a major, very liquid and 6% yield.

Wow,...STI in the red today,... mkt IS pulling-back,... prepare bullets and stand-ng-by again,....

KepCorp also dropped today after 5 days of advance,... will it drop below $6.00 ?

Let s standby to grab some

A third REIT – CapitaLand Commercial Trust – joins the STI on 21 March

The commercial REIT for Capitaland is Capita Commercial Trust.

The residential REIT for Capitaland is Ascott Residence Trust.

KepCorp truly dropped back to $5.85 now,.....interesting,....

I prefer individual stock picking. but Etf not a bad choice to follow track and in a way you are buying the 3 banks + Singtel which total up around 50% of it.

-5% now, still volatile.

SPDR is spyder, S&P product, reputable worldwide in many exchanges.

besides STI etf, what other SPDR etf's at SGX?

any sector etf's, e.g. banks, tech, healthcare, energy... anything like that?

yes, that is my point. still considering now due to limited bullets.

but the performance wise 1 YR -19.82% as at 31 Jan 2016 ...

China sends world markets sliding
AFP | London March 08, 2016 Last Updated at 18:49 IST
World stock markets sank deep into the red today, as China released data showing another hefty slump in exports, sparking renewed worries over the nation's powerhouse economy.

China's exports dived more than a quarter on-year in February, new data showed today, while imports were almost 14 per cent off -- far worse than forecast.

"That shocking slide in exports was joined by at similarly weak, if not quite as alarming, drop in imports; combine the two together and it is the kind of ugly reminder of China's spluttering economy investors certainly do not need at the moment," said analyst Connor Campbell at trading firm Spreadex.

In reaction, most Asian markets fell, with investors also cashing in after enjoying their best rally so far this year.

Hong Kong retreated 0.7 per cent and Tokyo dropped 0.8 per cent, but Shanghai reversed initial heavy falls to eke out slender gains.

The gloom spilled over into Europe, with Frankfurt and Paris shedding 1.2 per cent and 1.3 per cent respectively, while London lost 0.8 per cent.

"Equity markets (are) in the red again, with disappointing overnight Chinese trade data showing plunging February exports serving to spook investors who are already concerned about the state of global growth," said head of research Mike van Dulken at Accendo Markets.

"The market reaction is in stark contrast to the habitual cheering about bad data implying more stimulus, and the Lunar New Year may explain the big drop."

Mining stocks were the hardest hit sector on demand jitters because China is a leading consumer of most raw materials.

In London, resources giant Anglo American saw its share price tumble 9.3 per cent to 569.70 pence, topping the FTSE 100 fallers' board.

Swiss rival Glencore shed 7.64 per cent to 157.70 pence, Rio Tinto dropped 5.65 per cent to 2,110.50 pence and Antofagasta was down 5.06 per cent at 562.50 pence.

In Paris, the share price of steelmaking titan ArcelorMittal dived almost 5.0 percent to 4.43 euros, while Germany's ThyssenKrupp slid 1.8 percent to 16.88 euros in Frankfurt.

German energy giant RWE saw its shares slide 2.30 per cent to 11.03 euros, after it posted falling annual profits and forecast fresh gloom for 2016.

Europe's energy sector also took a knock from oil prices, which pulled back following healthy gains yesterday -- when Brent crude broke the USD 40-per-barrel barrier for the first time in 2016.

The gloomy Chinese figures are the latest to highlight weakness in the economy, although officials pointed out that they were skewed by the Chinese New Year holiday that saw factories shut down for a week.
