This morning,...

1) FCT has dipped further to 1.890.

2) Keppel Corp has dipped further to 6.810.

3) OCBC dipped to 8.920.

4) Keppel DC REIT stayed at 1.040.

Steady,...hold your fire....

What's you guys waiting for ? 

He is online now. Probably typing his 500 words advice to us 

Dropped again today - Keppel Corp at 6.69 low....Steady...

I think the three Sgp banks will be affected by a heavy knee-jerk reaction when the Feds starts the hike. It is a natural reaction from big institutions, and Sgp banks are certainly big institutions. 

The inst investors must selloff, and misprice the mkt. That's the time to go in.

As the STI dives further,........... I tell my heart,... patience, patience,...steady, steady,...

Your transaction would return you a gross take-back of 0.21 SGD x 20 x 100 = 420 SGD.

Starting from 2015 : 1 lot = 100 shares only.

If you are still referring to 1 lot as carrying 1000 shares, then your gross take-back would be 4200 SGD.

Subsequently, you would need to minus out the following charges from your transaction :-

1) Brokerage Charge. Since your transaction amt is not big, the minimum brokerage would be imposed, generally = 25 SGD.

2) Clearing and Misc Fees (can't remember the name of the third one), in your case, would not be more than, say about 3 SGD.

Hence, your net take-back would be 420 SGD - (25 SGD + 3 SGD) = 392 SGD.

If your 1 lot = 1000 shares, then your net take-back would be 4200 SGD - (25 SGD + 3 SGD) = 4172 SGD.

Hope the above helps,....

Hi Vector,.. thank you for pointing this out. Yes, you are right,... some errors with my calc's earlier. But it's still okay if the yield is at 6.2%. If you look at the DPU since 2006 till 2014, it has grown with a CAGR of 8%.

Edited to change the above definition.

yck and Vector,... the dividends.sg website is ridiculous........I got caught too, we need to refer to the actual corporate actions report and total up each dividend payout for the year to get the actual total.

THAT WEBSITE IS REALLY 'SHITTY', pardon the expression,...

6.41% is good. Price today is 1.82.

Anyone else considring FCT?

Yes, steady, steady,... hold your fire,....

The Fed increased interest rate by 0.25 basis points. BUT,........the Dow, S&P and Nasdaq don't seem to be heading for the red ??????? 

For myself, 2015 has seen continued returns in REITs, high-yield stocks, and high-yield bond funds. Forex too.

Based on the earlier report that you showed, somehow, I am just not confident that the SGX will really plunge as much as what happened to the Athens exchange. There are reports now going around now that the SGD will weaken till about 1.4416 against the USD (Channel News Asia today),... I have been waiting for such events - they NEVER come.

I observed that Keppel Corp has not dropped in tandem with the drop in oil price the last week or so. IN fact, BN4 has appreciated in price from a two-year low of 6.22 to 6.40 now,....

To further diversify your holdings, you can consider holding an SG Bank counter. SG banks are world-class in terms of reserve ratios, hence, very stable and safe.

The SG bank that I am looking at currently is OCBC Bank. It is the cheapest in terms of valuation, and has the highest yield at current pricing. Its DPU grows year-by-year for most of the years.

Take a look,....

Caught quite a number of lots of KepCorp today at $5.80.

yeah.. this KNIFE too too sharp.

will break support today. Anything related to OIL will dipped very fast.

20% above $4.90 now = $5.85, as your current Buy Price. I would hold,... no need to sell. Depending on news from Jan 29th onwards, be prepared for divvy cut, though,....

Steady, steady,... KepCorp will not die,....

A breather today, rebounds seen in KepCorp, the three SG Banks and other counters. So,...no game today !

Thanks to the 4Q and full year 2015 GDP numbers and other related numbers released by China at 10am this morning.

Hoping SG equities will resume selloff tomorrow.
