i heard dbs gonna give investors 1 share for every 10 shares you own....who is buying more

what do you think of the new CEO?

is singapore going to cut interest rate soon as well? will that impact share price?

i hear your excitement.

congrats! it's a very nice performance so far!

hahaha, congrats!


btw, i did calculation using co-pilot to compare qqq and dbs past 5 years, including dividend... qqq seems still the big winner.

Calculating Returns
QQQ:

Number of Shares Purchased: $1,000 / $170 ≈ 5.88 shares
Value After 5 Years: 5.88 shares * $514 ≈ $3,020.32
Total Dividends Received: 5.88 shares * $13.50 ≈ $79.38
Total Return: $3,020.32 + $79.38 = $3,099.70
DBS Bank:
Initial Investment: SGD 1,000
Number of Shares Purchased: SGD 1,000 / SGD 24 ≈ 41.67 shares
Value After 5 Years: 41.67 shares * SGD 39 ≈ SGD 1,625.13
Total Dividends Received: 41.67 shares * SGD 8.10 ≈ SGD 337.53
Total Return: SGD 1,625.13 + SGD 337.53 = SGD 1,962.66

Yes. Performance is great.. My retirement fund is only 12% so far this year, maybe I should reduce my contribution. But I lack the discipline to invest myself. Hence always force system to do it.

Yield.. Do you reinvest them or cash out?

QQQ should be a collection of top US stocks.

Yes. I know about TQQQ, looks cheaper than QQQ too (just kidding on the price)

Ok. Will do homework with co-pilot and update later 😁

comparing past 5 years with dividend reinvested... boring qqq still wins, assuming the info is correct (sometimes they extract wrong info from wrong website).

Summary
IBKR: $1,000 -> $2,316.90
SCHW: $1,000 -> $1,602.10
QQQ: $1,000 -> $2,532.30

Among the available options, QQQ has provided the highest return over the past five years when dividends are reinvested.

beautiful charts... 10 years return of 600% is amazing!

i remember someone spoke about IBKR... maybe it's you
