Holding on when you bought in

Holding on when you bought in at a good price is a reasonable decision. However, if one entered due to the hype, it might be wise to divest and enter again after the rate cuts take effect and everything settles down.

There had to be expectations that the interest rates would have to fall and have realistic expectations (even though the belief in SG banks as a stable and safe option is the prevalent sentiment).

As above, wait for the rate cuts to take effect, the lag to clear up then enter at a better price since SG banks are reasonably safe investments.

SG Banks Slips! What’s Your Time Span for Holding Banks?

Singapore’s three banking giants — DBS, OCBC, and UOB — have all retreated recently, as investors brace for an expected Fed rate cut cycle. The question now is: where’s the focus when growth slows but dividends stay strong? How long do you plan to hold banks? Do you hold them for dividends? Is short term pullback not a thing for you?
