      $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$   Share price performance is really very poor despite the good results announced. Don't know what's going on with this TSM indeed. Sentiment seems to be very lousy. Could be due to this Trump's tariff issue which is still uncertain in a way. Investors confidence and US market might be largely affected in the long run if Trump still goes on with his tariff implemention. Sad indeed. Recallee TSM was doing fine prior to Trump era.

      This is good news for SGX indeed. In view of the increased trading volume, it will be beneficial for SGX in terms of revenue as well as intangible benefits such as attracting more investors and enhanced reputation as a trading exchange. Hope that SGX will continue to attract more listings into the main board and catalist board progressively. Understand the recent one is Vin's Holdings. That is a good start indeed after the government incentives are implemented. Cheers SGX. [Smile]  Go go go.

      Understand there is no regular dividend from gold ETF etc. Hence, it may not be suitable for long term investment in comparison to equities like bank counters. Gold price is increasing currently due to so called  safe haven during market turbulence times. It may drop back to below 3000 once Trump's storm is calm. Might not seems feasible to borrow money to buy gold in view of borrowing interest rate, etc. However, no harm buying some gold ETF at this stage to take advantage of the tailwind now. Say about 10% of your investment portfolio. Cheers. Have a good day ahead. [Smile]

      This is good news indeed for SGX. A higher Trading Volume is corresponding to increased revenue in terms of fees. Hope that the trading volume will maintain for the longer term in addition to the derivative product business. That is also crucial for exchange business in consideration of hedging activities during period of volatility. Cheers SGX ! [Smile]  [Smile]  

      Singapore Exchange Stands to Gain From Heavier Trading Volume

      0334 GMT - Singapore Exchange stands to benefit from heavier-than-average trading volume on the local bourse, OCBC Investment Research's Research team says in a note. Several Straits Times Index component stocks have posted trading volumes exceeding 5X-6X their average six-month trading volume, the team says. Also, SGX will benefit from increased hedging activities for its derivatives business given heightened market volatility, the team says. Moreover, OCBC views management's focus on cost control as a positive amid current macroeconomic uncertainties. OCBC raises the stock's fair value estimate to S$14.09 from S$13.68 to reflect a rolling forward of valuations while maintaining the buy rating. Shares are 1.8% higher at S$12.78.

      $ST Engineering(S63.SI)$   Despite STI in the high red (-1.8%+) , ST Engineering rose about 5c from previous closing price.  This shows the resilent of the defend stock counter amid the uncertainty of Trump's tariff issue.  In fact, it reached a day high of $6.69. Hope that ST Engineering will continue to maintain its resilent and move upwards to the target price by DBS Research (4 Apr 25), which is $7.50.

      Good news indeed for SGX. Understand that its revenue (40%) from derivative products is quite significant in comparison to other exchanges like Hong Kong Exchange, etc. It is practical and viable to diversify stock exchange businesses to achieve optimum revenue. This is proven by the surge in derivative volume this week in view of the global selloff issue (BT news: 11Apr). Hope management will continue to innovate SGX businesses in moving forward. Hence generating increase interest from retail/institution investors on SGX shares for the longer term investment. [Smile]

      $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$   This horrible TSMC. All other tech counters in high green yet it is still dreaming away. Don't know why its sentiment is so lacklustre. Need to invest more in US most likely. [Tongue]
