I bought at $12.58 yesterday.

Today xd & dbs rises , thank dbs

wads the reason for it to chiong so much? if it is just pure cheap money from the govt i dont think it will sustain.. more govt pumping money into the economy meaning more taxes on the population in future..

also the economic growth models for many countries will be changing n it takes time.

u bot at wat price?

I only have 1 lot now. I Intend to buy another 2 to 3 lots

within the next 12 months, STI 2850 to even 3200 is a very strong possibility.

In fact if wait for a few more years, both my brokers told me STI revisit or even break that 3900 high, also got very high chance.

i oredi have reits, fully-paid up.

It's just that this week i got another FD account matured, just took out the money, can't believe the FD rates now are sooo low

Becos FD rates now so low, I'm thinking of putting my ,money into all blue chips now to park for 2 years, the dividends alone oredi better than the FD 1-YEAR rate

Its time our government look into possibility of Bank merges with Insurance company like DBS n NTUC income. They already had in mind to have another investment unit besides GIC and Temasek and i think this is a good move.    So as merger of bank/insurance which i believe, could bring even greater benefits to singaporeans.    Imagine DBS share at $40.00? (comparable to those US banks). 

Merger Benefits -

1) Dollar-to-dollar medical insurance (medi-save) for young children.  From birth, each singaporean child should have a medi-save account and Whatever Parents' savings  in medi-save, children get every dollar of  it credited by the government.  Medi-save accounts should be set up early for our youngs since the medical costs have been increasing all the time.

Comments and ideas are welcomed ........bring it on.

I agree, as long as one have enough bullets. Why worry???

Sure make one lah. I plan to average down on this stock.

11.50...10.50....9.50....8.50....7.50.... Never scare at all.
