@koolgal:πππWhen the markets are volatile, $Sheng Siong(OV8.SI)$ is often considered a defensive play. As a supermarket operator, its business is less sensitive to economic downturns and market fluctuations. I am so happy that my investment in Sheng Siong has rewarded me not only with nice steady dividends but also capital growth too. Sheng Siong is up 63% year todate. It has even outperformed $STI ETF(ES3.SI)$ which is up 19% year todate. Slow and Steady Wins the Race! π₯°π₯°π₯°ππππππππππ°π°π°πΈπ¬πΈπ¬πΈπ¬ @TigerClub @Tiger_SG &n
@Terra_Incognita:$UNH 20251017 370.0 CALL$ UNH: collected full premium from this covered call with it expired worthless on 17th Oct. Stock is up slightly by 0.59% to close the week highet at $356.6. The strike of $370 is holding up well and provide a temporary resistance for it to test. Sold new covered call to replace this one. Will continue to be bullish on UNH as part of value play. With the strings of negative news on UNH these past months, I believe most negative news have been priced in, and whoever still holding the stock have stronger conviction of the company and likely have better holding time horizon to unlock its value.
