Good time to apply for SMF now,... but don't deploy the funds first. Just standby only,...

Make sure no Commitment Fee though,....

SMF is a tool to drive up volume and likely price, and will fuel a bubble. Like in the past, bubble is unsustainable in the long term.

When prices of stocks are compressed heavily with no chg in their fundamentals, solely due to sentiment,... deploying an SMF tool to profit from the mkt is logical, rather than deploying SMF in a toppish mkt.

Having said the above, of course, the tactic has to be right ! Tactics need to be thought out carefully,... with different models to simulate varying scenarios. Leveraging, being a double-edged sword, has a good edge too if we wield the sword correctly.

Leverage amplify profit as well as loss. During the bull market, every punters think he is a gold fingers. Only after the tide turned will reveal who was swimming naked.

When conditions are correct, ie under a bear mkt,... chances to amplify profit will be higher,.. provided the RIGHT TACTICS are employed.

Easier said than done especially in bear market. Banks and brokers are likely to reduce SMF during bear market.

Hence,... my earlier comments as below,....

Hi bros, just a quick question, what minimum deposit do I need to pledge to get margin financing? Can I start it up with a 10k? Just asking for small fry like me

Bro,.. I can't advise too much, but when I wanted to move in on this a few mths ago, I touched base with DBS SMF. There were terms and conditions. Perhaps you can ask them again,...

Sorry, I did not take up the package,... reason was, if I played too small, there is nothing reasonable that I could reap, and not to confident to play big for now, because, as it is,... I am not able to plough back in what ever dividends I collected.

Hence, no reason for me to take leveraging and add to my headache,...
