🌟🌟🌟With high inflation, I believe it is important to stay invested in stocks. I am most bullish on our Singapore banks especially $DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD(D05.SI)$
Even though its share price is down 4% in the last 5 days, DBS 4Q22 profit soared 68% as rising interest rates boosted its net interest margins. I am also rewarded with a special dividend of 50 cents per share due to its strong earnings and rock solid balance sheet. DBS current dividend yield is 4.32%.
DBS is also the largest bank in Singapore by market capitalisation and the bellwether of Singapore economy.
I am currently up 35% on DBS and intend to hold it long term.
Even though the Singapore government is increasing its handout to Singaporeans in 2023, it is insufficient to cover my rising costs of living. Therefore I will continue to stay invested in quality stocks like DBS to provide me with a steady source of passive dividend income.
@Tiger_SG
When everyone is overjoyed with funds from government in the past, i have $0. 🤫 Hence i dont really bother much about Budget as it will be music to me listening to the talk as I will have nothing.
Maybe this time round might be different. @Tiger_SG might give me 100 coins. 🤣🤣🥰🥰😍😍🫰🫰💋
