From reading certain details of the 1st stock bought, sometimes can roughly guess the age of buyer. :)  My 1st buy is SingTel and surprisingly still holding on to it unlike my other buys. Had seen some of  its best and worse and, the ups and downs.  Read on papers its  expansion to the regions, full of optimism, and how it was hammered when political turmoils struck.  Was sad to see it plummeted to a low price shrouded with negative news, whether real or speculation. It has since recovered  abit recently. Let's hope they continue to make wise investment decisions. 

August 9 marks Singapore’s 60th National Day—a perfect moment to look back on how we each started investing here. Maybe your first buy was a blue-chip bank you grew up seeing everywhere, a REIT that hooked you with steady dividends, or a small cap you discovered by chance. Some of us chose the SG market for its clear rules and strong governance; others stayed for the consistent income and the way local names anchor a long-term portfolio. However you began, those early picks, the REIT you keep going back to, and the reasons you invest here all draw a personal map of your Singapore investing journey.

I started investing in the Sg market in 2009 during the GFC and the first trade of OSIM made me $50. Looking back, it was such a small amount compared to the hundreds and thousands I make through receiving dividends or just trading, but it changed my life forever as it initiated me into the world of investing and trading psychology, and of course, multiple streams of income.

This year marks Singapore’s 60th birthday, a milestone that feels both personal and national. It got me thinking about my own investment journey here, and how it mirrors the growth of the country. Over the years, my portfolio has shifted from simple savings and a few stock picks into something more structured, something I call my Singapore Investment Map. It is not just a collection of tickers, numbers, or dividend yields. It is a living picture of how I see opportunity in different sectors of our economy and how they fit together to form a balanced whole. When I first started investing, I naturally gravitated toward the familiar names. The big banks like DBS, OCBC and UOB were the pillars I trusted. They were visible in our daily lives and had reputations for stability and consistent divi

My first Singapore based equity investment was in $DBS(D05.SI)$  that I bought through the bluechip investment plan of OCBC. Should say it has been a very wise decision I have made. 

My first was ST Engineering

My first Singapore stock was $ocbc bank(O39.SI)$ . My favourite reits will be $Keppel DC Reit(AJBU.SI)$

My first investment shares was Singtel as given by the government. It was my late father who  helped me establish an investment account with a bank.. However wished he had taught more.  All long I had only insurance investment when i started work . Only  picked up investment through self learning on my own at a rather late age when I came across articles and started reading and attending investment courses. Eventually, opened a Tigers Account  as I began my investment journey on my own.

With the rising cost of living, rising population, banks $DBS(D05.SI)$ $UOB(U11.SI)$ $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ are seen as the main beneficiaries. This is largely attributed to several factors:   Loans: As property and commercial real estate prices rise, banks profit from a larger loan book. The increasing demand for mortgages and business loans, driven by both locals and a growing immigrant population, provides a steady stream of interest income for banks. Property Market: Higher property prices, both residential and commercial, mean that the value of the assets banks hold as collateral for their loans also increases. This can strengthen their balance

The first Singapore-listed stock I ever bought was Singtel . And my favourite REIT is Keppel DC. I choose to invest in Singapore 1st , I'm Singaporean, I'm proud of my country listed companies especially those Temasek linked.  Stock prices up and down are normal. So I do take profit whenever it hits my target price. Always have the next opportunity to buy again.

Replying to @Zarkness:My first ever stock is grab. It’s a good investment.//@Zarkness:My first ever stock is $UOB(U11.SI)$ .

those days when retail investing is not readily available and accessible, we only have access to Singtel Stock and we were given some singtel shares as a long time singtel customer. This is my investment story (story posted on behalf of my late dad, he was the one who encouraged me to dive deeper into investing). Happy bday Singapore 🇸🇬 😊

My Singapore investment story begins with CapitaLand Ascendas REIT. It is Singapore's largest industrial REIT with a diversified portfolio spanning Singapore, Australia, US, Europe, and UK. It is aggressively expanding its Singapore portfolio, recently buying properties worth S$700 million at discounts to boost earnings. I remember buying it at a discount during the Covid crash. It is my first ever Singapore stock and I chose to invest in SREITs mainly because of the dividends. It is my retirement plan where the dividends would fund my expenses. Any capital gains would be bonus. The other attractive bit about Singapore stock is that capital gains and dividends are not taxable. This helps get maximum returns. By investing in the Singapore stock market, I am not subjected to forex risks. T

🌟🌟As Singapore turns 60, I find myself reflecting not just on the nation's journey but on my own.  My very first Singapore stock is $DBS Group Holdings(D05.SI)$. Founded in 1968, DBS was born to finance Singapore's industrial dreams.  Today DBS is financing mine.  Every quarterly dividend feels like a little red packet from the nation itself.  DBS is a living testament to Singapore's resounding success as a financial hub of South East Asia and the largest in the region. Then came $CapLand IntCom T(C38U.SI)$ I wanted to invest in buildings too. CICT is the largest SReit which owns malls, offices.  From Raffles City to ION, it has a portfolio that mirrors Singapore's urban r

The first Singapore-listed stock I ever bought was$Singtel(Z74.SI)$  , a cornerstone of Singapore’s financial sector and one of the oldest banks in the region. This investment was deeply connected to my confidence in Singapore’s robust economy and its reputation as a global financial hub. OCBC’s strong ties to Singapore’s economic development, from supporting local businesses to financing infrastructure projects, made it more than just a company. It was a key pillar in the nation’s growth story. Choosing OCBC allowed me to invest directly in Singapore’s continued prosperity and stability. The bank’s prudent management and sound risk policies reflected Singapore’s broader values of discipline and resilience. OCBC’s expansion across Sout
