$Sheng Siong(OV8.SI)$ 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.
