Please give your inputs too, bro,... 

Wouldn't you want to diversify into some SG dividend stocks too ?

I was waiting to go into more SGX dividend counters and selected REITs today, thinking that the mkt will fall after the ann't of a technical recession by the Monetary Authority of Sgp (MAS).

The STI performed the contrary by rising instead of falling just like the other bourses around region.

Let's see what happens later on,.... Market is unpredictable.

Recovered today from noon to ard $1.25, then closed at $1.24. Let's see what ann'ts appear from AW9U and LMIRT on Monday, November 02, if any.

Steady.

Mr James Riady said : "Because of the government policy, we think Indonesia has very good potential for REITs,".

He did not mention that he will shift the two currently existing REITs to the JSE. He may be thinking about setting-up new REITs for his other properties in Indonesia.

Hi AV,... agreed. With my analyses in-place, let's see what happens. Reactions in the coming days and weeks from the SG market as a whole and the worldwide investors of First REIT will give a clearer picture of what's coming.

Steady,...

And SGX never question the managers of both Reits too. There should be a filing with SGX (or clarification) with such material announcement by the group CEO

I'm sorry,... I have not counted yet,... I have got my hands full with Saizen REIT and First REIT. 

On a very broad-based strategy, I would say the move now should be to hold back our purchases. The Feds are hinting again of a rate hike in mid-December - the mkt will look at this and chances are it will drop further. At this time, for whatever funds we have available, out it into Sgp FD first.

Accumulate bullets, 'when the prices have dropped sufficiently', then buy-up the targetted counters.

If we can enter at a good price, even if the dividend drops, the yield will still be acceptable.

Jumbo Group Ltd., a Singapore-based operator of chili-crab restaurants, surged in its trading debut after selling shares in the city’s biggest initial public offering this year to investors including a Temasek Holdings Pte unit and Osim International Ltd. Chairman Ron Sim.
The shares rose as much as 58 percent to an intraday high of 39.5 Singapore cents before trading at 36.5 Singapore cents as of 11:26 a.m. in the city-state. Jumbo sold shares at 25 Singapore cents each in its IPO, which raised S$40 million ($28 million) from investors including Heliconia Capital Management Pte, a unit of the Singapore state investment firm.

after sale of FIRST REIT, what u getting?

JUMBO?.... Food items recession proof.. haha

I'm still watching Frasers Centrepoint Trust and Keppel Corp. Keppel DC REIT is a 'boutique' REIT that I'm looking at too. It came out in the Business Times last week that the non-traditional REITs are slowly finding their ways into the SGX.

Perhaps investors should have a look at non-traditional, boutique REITs too.

What are your opinions of KDC ? 

Singapore Banks Face Risk From Weaker Credit, FX Moves: MAS

Weaker corporate balance sheets and currency market volatility pose risks to Singapore lenders, though the local banking system remains resilient, the Monetary Authority of Singapore said Friday.
Non-performing loans have increased, and moves in emerging Asian currencies "could exacerbate foreign currency mismatch risks for banks in Singapore," the Singapore central bank said in its annual financial stability report.
"The turning credit cycle poses risks to Singapore’s banking system. Asset quality remains healthy, but there are signs of increased credit risks alongside weaknesses in corporate balance sheets," the MAS said.
The non-performing loan ratio among Singapore banks rose to 1.5 percent in the third quarter of 2015, from 1.1 percent a year earlier, the central bank said. Bad loans have risen in the manufacturing sector, and banks with exposure to trade may see higher credit risks, the monetary authority said.
“It is important for our financial sector to continue to be vigilant to new or growing risks as highlighted in the report as external headwinds and contagion risks have intensified,” MAS deputy managing director Ong Chong Tee said. However, the report also demonstrates that Singapore’s banks, companies and households are “resilient to potential vulnerabilities and shocks,” he added.
