$Sheng Siong(OV8.SI)$ Regretted selling sheng siong on 7/3/25. I thought i was a stagnant stock at that time at $1.64 per per share. With a dividend of around 3.7%, i felt that it was better to sell sheng to buy ocbc which appreciated higher and had a higher dividend yield of more than 5%. To my surprise, sheng siong only dropped a few percent during the trump tariffs saga but then rallied to a juicy $1.76 per share. If only i had hold on to sheng siong, i would have made a larger profit. Hindsight is 20/20, it's easy to see the correct course of action after an event has happened, even though it was not so clear beforehand. Now i know how stable sheng siong is as a stock. A really recession proof stock where the goods they are selli
$ocbc bank(O39.SI)$ Price dropped but hopefully in the long run, OCBC price will rise higher. Nice dividends of 5% and banking presence in many southeast asia countries and China.
$STI ETF(ES3.SI)$Interested in buying this ETF but the expense ratio is a bit too high, 0.3%. Considering the fact that the fund manager is only managing 30 top SG companies. Compared to the S&P 500 ETF, the expense ratio ranges between 0.03% to 0.07% but the fund manager manages 500 companies. Would i be better off just buying the 30 shares of the top SG companies, collecting dividends from them and i wouldn't have to pay the expense ratio. Also, the historical price of the STI ETF does not increase that much. It was $3.0334 on 1/2/08. Today, after 14 years, 1 share cost $3.285. Any advice, thoughts and discussions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
$OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ Does anybody know why OCBC price is down for the past few days? Or is just normal market forces at play? There are 6 Types of Major Market Forces. Supply and Demand, Competition, Economic Conditions, Production Costs, Consumer Behaviour and lastly Government Regulations. I'm not so sure any of these market forces impacted the price of OCBC.
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$With the 3:1 stock split making Tesla stock more affordable for more retail investors, I'm bullish for Tesla. And latest news of California banning new gas car sales by 2035, it will only increase the demand for Tesla as Tesla is the industry leader in the EV space. California has a massive economy, ranking as the world's fifth largest if it were a sovereign nation.Starting in 2026, 35% of new passenger cars, SUVs and small pickup trucks sold in California would have to be zero-emission vehicles. This would most definitely drive sales of Tesla upwards.Source : https://seekingalpha.com/news/3876554-ev-age-california-set-to-ban-new-gas-car-sales-by-2035
