STI trade ideas

The STI has reached its 16 years high.....Closer to home, we also witnessed an all time high for the Singapore stock market. The last time it hits 3573 price level was in 2007, almost 16 years ago............. With the banks taking up close to 50% of the index, it is also evident from the chart that DBS bank has been rallying 2016 till its current price of 37.60........ It could continue the rally and climb towards 40 or even higher........ I am a little concerned with the rate hikes for the remaining months and 2025 onwards..... This will directly DBS bank as well.... Am I selling ? Not yet as attempting to predict the top just like the bottom is anyone guess and one can potentially lose much more by being one step ahead of the market. So, I am sitting tight and holding on to the ship and watching the chart closely....... Please DYODD

Is it difficult to make money in STI ?Plotting a line graph over this random 10 years period, we can see that if one invest money into the STI, he made a loss of around 26% (if he sells out but breaks even at best if he holds till now). Conversely, in the same time frame of 10 years, if he would diversify into US and invest in the SPX index (as often encouraged by legendary investor, Warren Buffett), he would make a good profits of 171% profits or roughly 17% per year. However, it is not really fair to compare this two index since the composition of companies are very different plus the market cap of each index is also worlds apart. Not forgetting the liquidity component. As such, the devils is in the details and that is where investors spend time researching individual company and look for hidden gem. Companies such as DBS ,dividends rich companies like REITS such as AIMS ,etc. Each market is unique on its own and being a local here in SG offers benefits of researching into banks like DBS, OCBC where one can go on site and see and feel for himself. Same things for REITS where one can visits the malls, office buildings , industrial parks, etc to have a feel of the business and footfall. Investing in US on the other hand is totally different since most research is done online and whatever is published has to be taken on its own merits. In a world of uncertainty, one cannot put all his eggs into one basket and thus diversification is crucial to one's investment portfolio from geographical regions to sectors to asset classes. Of course, your investment capital plays a huge part since it is futile to spread too thin just for diversification purposes. That brings the question of having multiple sources of income and adhere to savings components (not lottery or casino wins) to assure recurring income that you can use to reinvest into the market when opportunity avails itself.

STI INDEX - AT INFLUX WITH UPWARD BAISSTI Long term index charts are trading at influx point. Caught in the bull and bear fight index is hovering around 3200 mark. See a reverse head and shoulder pattern appearing on the long term charts which may unfold in next few months when the neckline is confirmed breakout. This is a long term chart so view is mid to long term. Since STI index has over 40% weightage of 3 large banks hence any rally should be supported by banks moving higher. Likely trigger may happen when there is pause in FED interest rate hike. Looking for trend playout and see STI index moving to new all time high. With index at 12 PE there is enough steam left.
