$UOB-KAY HIAN HOLDINGS LIMITED(U10.SI)$Five reasons to buy NOW:UOB Kay Hian is UOB's stock brokerage firm. For the month of April, its price has beensteadily increasing. Why?1. Generous dividend payout.At its current price of $1.64, UOB Kay Hian will pay out dividends of 5.37% after the ex dividend date of 5/5/22. This is also equivalent to $0.088 per share. For an investment of $16,400, you would receive $880 in dividend payout. This is a very high, attractive dividend yield for a stable stock. 2. Historical price highs. Looking at the 52 week high for this stock, prices were $1.77 per share at its peak. At its current price of $1.64, this stock is tradingat a discount.3. Resilient stock. While the Singapore s

My most memorable investment in the first quarter would be my purchase of the Singapore bank stocks, DBS, UOB, and OCBC. At a time when the market was bullish on bank stocks, I opened positions in all 3 banks. Similar to many people, I received the advicethat bank stocks will not lose, and I believedthat in the long term, these investments would lead to gains. So I focused my entire portfolio on these stocks.However, the early bearishness of these stocks were quickly erased when bank stocks went on a bullish path soon afterwards. Not only did my early gains get wiped out, but I am in the red on bank stocks right now. From this, I learnt the importance of diversifying my portfolio. Putting everything into any single sector, even presumably strong sectors like finance, may lead to

$PARKSON RETAIL ASIA LIMITED(O9E.SI)$was oversold in the last 2 days, but now starting to regain its share price. If you were watching this stock, you'll noticeits price went up 5x over the last 2 weeks, from about $0.010 to a peak of $0.053. The reason for this is its much improved financial results from the last quarter. Upon reviewing those results, one strong reason for its increase in earnings is the fact that it implemented a series of cost cutting measures over the pandemic period, which contributedstrongly to its profits. I expect that in the next quarter, Parkson Asia will be able to sustain this growth. The restructuring measures it took has benefited the company, and will continue to do so. Even as the markets

I usually recommend the banking stocks, $DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD(D05.SI)$, $UOB-KAY HIAN HOLDINGS LIMITED(U10.SI)$, or $OVERSEA-CHINESE BANKING CORP(O39.SI)$. As much as this is a commonly held opinion,I do feel that these stocks and this sector inSingapore is a safe sector. Not only are there opportunities for long term growth, there are sometimes short term gains and dividends to be received. As someone who is recommending stocks toothers, I also feel a sense of responsibility. So, as far as possible, I recommend low riskstocks, especially when recommending to friends who are investing for the first time. :)

What a ride it has been for holders of $SEMBCORP MARINE LTD(S51.SI)$in the past year. Following steep declines in share price in2020, SembMarine's holders awaited news regarding an anticipated merger of SambMarine with $KEPPEL CORPORATION LIMITED(BN4.SI)$. Once the merger was confirmed, SembMarine's prices started steadily climbing, from around $0.08 per share to a high of $0.13 in April 2022, when details of the merger were finalised. The merger is expected to help the new entity, Bayberry, gain a competitive advantage in the energy and oil space, and increase earnings significantly.  But SembMarine's prices fell again after details of the merger were announced. Why? It seemed that hol

So when I first opened and funded my Tiger account about a month and a half ago, I wasentitled to certain account opening and funding rewards. For account opening, a free SoFi share, a commission free voucher, and I believe a stock voucher. For funding, a lucky draw share. Of these offered rewards, I received the funding lucky draw share, and the account opening commission free voucher. However, I never received the SoFi share, and I'm not sureif I received the stock voucher. Being new toTiger, I thought that maybe I made a mistake and didn't follow the guidelines fully, hence my fault for not getting full rewards. Now, I have referred 2 people to open new account and fund with Tiger. I was supposed to receive free GoPro shares with each person, and free stock vouchers,

When recommending ASX stocks, I believe that finance industry is the safest, especially for those new to Australian stocks. But out of the major Australian banks, which is the most promising? 1. $COMMONWEALTH BANK OF AUSTRAL(CBA.AU)$Of the three banks I am focusing on, this is by far the largest, in terms of share price and market cap. The fact that it operates in multiple countries and continents, and is diversified in that sense, might explain investor confidence. If looking for a strong bank stock, this is the one I would recommend.2. $NATIONAL AUSTRALIA BANK LIMITED(NAB.AU)$National Australia Bank is another bank thatis very popular within Australia. My sense is that this is a stable sto

May seems to have been a gloomy month for the Singapore market. Day after day, the STI seems to slide further. However, some star stocks have been gaining steadily, even in these times. My recommendation for today is $YANGZIJIANG SHIPBLDG HLDGS LTD(BS6.SI)$. Some might notice that in late April, YZJ's share price plummeted, from about $1.50 per share to just $0.80-$0.90 per share. Why?In April, YZJ split its operations, with the current $YANGZIJIANG SHIPBLDG HLDGS LTD(BS6.SI)$ continuing with the shipbuilding and marine industry that it has been involved in for years. An investing arm of YZJ spun off, to form the new $YZJ Fin Hldg(YF8.SI)$. Shareholders of YZJ received 1:1 shares i

In a time where the Fear and Greed index shows extreme fear, it's understandable why many are staying away from the markets... However, investors who are able to hold on for the longer term may find this to be a good time to enter. My suggestion for today is $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$. Tesla has been battered recently, and is down almost 50% from its recent high of $1,200 per share. However, things look to be turning around for this EV maker. Recently, it was announced that Tesla wouldbe adding a second shift at its factories, something that was impossible during the peak of Covid in Shanghai. Analysts are expecting a turnaround, with Tesla increasing production significantly in the second half of the year. Combined with the fact tha

Pretty unbelievable, and no one knows why. But there are many suspicious details: the fact it is mostly owned by institutions and not retail buyers; that there's a large spread between bids; and even that its website is vague about what it does...I'm short on this stock. In the near term, given the hype around it, there's still potential for its price to increase and traders to get lucky. But luck is the key word here; are you willing to take the gamble? 

$PARKSON RETAIL ASIA LIMITED(O9E.SI)$is another stock to watch. Since its recent financial report release, share price has climbed from $0.017 to a peak of $0.053 in the last 5 days. Before the report release, share price was staying stable at about $0.010.  The main takeaway from their financial report is that Parkson Retail has narrowed recent losses, and is projected to become profitable in the near future. At the time of writing, share price is $0.46. This could be a good buy for those who are willing to take a chance on a company that is not yet profitable. Though riskier, upside could potentially be great In future. And even in the near term, share price has returned multiple fold. 

$G. K. GOH HOLDINGS LIMITED(G41.SI)$seems to be a company that has been overlooked. The financial sector is a sector that's often recommended. And when it comes to it, mostpeople focus on banks. However, the financial sector is more varied than that, and includes company's like G K Goh, which focuses on investments and holdings. Additionally, the company booked huge earnings for 2021. Just look to its dividend payout for FY 2021: a whopping 18%. As the economy rebounds and grows, ignorethis stock at your peril. @Daily_Discussion @TigerStars @CaptainTiger

$SAMUDERA SHIPPING LINE LTD(S56.SI)$ is racing back up today. It traded at an average of $1.00 or higher before it paid out a bigdividend of about 13% in May. Looks like the stock price is now recovering from this huge payout.The company is also expected to bring in increased profits this year, as they are in the process of acquiring more ships. Additionally, a share buyback programme has been announced. With the market on the rebound, Samudera is well placed to benefit, and I expect share prices to soon increase. @Daily_Discussion @CaptainTiger @TigerStars

Tiger Events often offers very attractive coins for taking part. E.g. Coins for the Tiger virtual slots machine event, coins for creating posts. However, though I take part and meet the criteria, I often do not receive the rewards. This is after waiting the number of working days each event needs to calculate rewards. Why is this so? Do others face the same problem?

$Veru Inc.(VERU)$What are people's thoughts on Veru? It has seen tremendou volatility recently, but will its price go above $15 again?

The semiconductor companies are generallygoing strong, as the semiconductor industry is producing for the world's needs. Events like Geopolitical tensions can disrupt the chain of supply and demand, but they are impossiblefor investors to predict. Personally I like Samsung, as it is one of the best known and most trusted brands. I have faith in its future 

When we exchange currencies, Tiger says there is no commission charged. However, theamount of cash reflected in my account is always noticeably lower after I exchange currencies. Why is that so?

$Amazon.com(AMZN)$is splitting its stock today. Each share of Amazon will become 20shares While this doesn't affect the value of the company, shares become more affordable for retail investors. I'm looking forward to finally owning some Amazon shares :)@Daily_Discussion

How can I tag a stock ticker or a user when posting comments or content? When I type in the '$' sign or the '@' sign, it doesn't seemto work. 

Even as the market falls, there are some opportunities for stocks to grow... On my watchlist these days are oil and gas stocks. $Occidental(OXY)$tops the list. With the backing of Wareen Buffet, I feel safer putting my money into this stock.
