blue chip stocks

have u also considered reits ? dividend yield also ~5%

 

SMRT , DBS , UOB, OCBC these are blue chips because of high ( >3%) dividend yeild and stable ( if low growth) business. All these companies can be bougt and forgotten and will pay you a dividend year after year. They can survive the ups and downs of the economy .

But really if you want buy and forget you can buy the streettracks  STI Exchange Traded fund and reinvest all dividends.  Considering the index itself has a dividend yeild aof around 3.5% you cant go wrong in buying and forgetting the ETF for the next decade. The ETF has all of the above shares plus lots more. Expect 6-10% annualised returns after dividends are reinvested over the next 10years.

I own a small amount of the STI ETF. I track my own stock purcaheses vs  gains made if i had bought the ETF. Dividends must always be reinvested  and fees and taxes subtracted while calculating retirns

 

Is there any good blue chips worth buying now ? Any recommendation ?  Is the market going higher and higher ?

Thank you.
