Whenever the exponential factors upset the equilibrium condition of the market...the market will enter into a state of adjustment...and DBS is in such state.

Whenever there is a proportional dilution to a normal cup of coffee without sugar...the coffee will taste mild...less bitter...but easier  to consume.

Brewing a good pot of porridge takes time...must have a good proportion of water and ingredient. This pot of porridge has been over heated by wild fire...over dumped with unnecessary ingredients...most importantly...the porridge is not over cooked. A good proportional dilution of water over a slow fire...give it some time...it is still a good pot of porridge.

One will have different view at different time over different age...but the view has to be from an open eye.

No limit. But make sure u hv enough $ to take the offer, if u were granted the offer, esp when the R were under subscribed. Ha ha, AK kena 120 lots of R of GentInt before, but sad to say, so far didn't make $ on this burger. Dumped them earlier 08. Later of the yr bought some for souvenier.

On d otherhand, as AK posted earlier, if u bought half lot of DBS before XR, u will be entitled 250 shares of R. Then u subcribe excess of 750  shares of R to round off as a lot. This way, likely u will be granted liao. If not greedy, get few more lots of the right loh. But u must do your home work b4 to do anything, as money is  yours.

Anyone know what is the criteria and limit if i wana to apply for excess rights shares thr ATM on top of my own allotment?

Thanks

Chinese or even other races, traditionally give angbao as good luck n gesture. New notes for new yr is another practice specially for Chinese only.

Henceforth, MAS will print new notes while approaching CNY. And local financial agencies will offer d exchnage service cum issue angbao envelopes to their clients or even for all who q for the services with limit amount. To avoid inconveniences, they only offer the services a week before CNY. Ha ha, no q n no limit, say 10k n below, if u make d service via your fund manager. They direct go to the tellers.

Ha ha, if u buy $30 or above, Sporepools will give u angbao as well. I think a week b4 CNY as well.
