Replying to @Aqa:thanks for sharing//@Aqa:[USD][USD] It has been a good year 2025 for $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ with a total return of 25% including dividends. This is one of its strongest performances in the past 15 years. Both large , mid- and small-cap stocks are up with trading activity clearly heating up. I believe SGX stocks still have upside in 2026. We should keep a portion of our investment portfolio for SGX stocks because it is clearly a safe haven.

 🌟🌟🌟While the rest of the world chases the volatile highs of AI and crypto, a powerful story of resilience and wealth is being written right here in Singapore.  Recently the market watched in awe as DBS$DBS(D05.SI)$  and OCBC $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$  surged to new highs, proving that these are not just "local banks" - they are Global Wealth Powerhouses. Resilience in the Face of Falling Rates  The big question on every investor's mind :  What happens when interest rates fall?  The narrative for 2025 and 2026 has shifted.  Analysts now see our Big 3 Banks as remarkably resilient. The secret sauce?  We

2025 proved Singapore's market resilience and evolving breadth, delivering remarkably balanced returns across all capitalizations—from the $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ 's 21% gain to the Fledgling index's 31% surge—while buybacks hit a decade-high at S$2.15 billion and dividends are poised for another record. What distinguishes this rally is the structural shift: daily turnover in non-STI stocks jumped from 14% to 25%, indicating institutional money is finally flowing beyond the usual blue-chip narratives. This isn't just momentum; it's a fundamental repricing as companies like $DBS(D05.SI)$ , $Singtel 10(Z77.SI)$ , and

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ Singapore's stock scene is straight fire this year, with the Straits Times Index clocking a jaw-dropping 25% total return including dividends, smashing through highs not seen in 15 years amid regional resilience and global easing vibes. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs' fresh Global Equity Outlook 2025-2035 drops a bombshell warning: The S&P 500's wild 15% annualized ride over the past decade is a rare "super-bull" anomaly, and mean reversion's knocking—expecting just 6.5% annual returns ahead as valuations stretch thin. Emerging Markets s

Following a strategic corporate restructuring, PC Partner Group Limited (SGX: PCT)—formerly dual-listed as 1263.HK on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange—has completed a voluntary delisting from HKEX, with its shares ceasing trading on 8 January 2026 and full migration to the Singapore Exchange (SGX) under the ticker PCT.SI. This transition is not merely administrative; it is a deliberate move to enhance the company’s position in the global AI hardware supply chain, particularly with NVIDIA. Strategic Rationale: Securing NVIDIA Partnership in a Fragmented World According to official announcements, the primary motivation for the SGX-only listing is to strengthen supply chain stability with NVIDIA and secure eligibility for next-generation GPU allocations, including the upcoming RTX 50 Series (Blac

$DBS(D05.SI)$ $UOB(U11.SI)$ $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ Singapore's banking giants are flexing hard today, with DBS hitting a fresh intraday high of $55.33 and OCBC peaking at $19.45 on December 17, 2025, riding a wave of robust wealth-management fees that jumped 25% in Q3 and solid capital-return strategies keeping investors hooked. 😎 These moves aren't random – they're backed by resilient business models that shrug off falling interest rates, with wealth inflows offsetting NIM squeezes and dividend yields clocking 5%-6% into 2026 for that reliable cash flow drip. Buybacks are cranking too, propping up shares amid global jitters, turning these banks into quiet com

$Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$   📈 STI at New Highs: Is the US Super-Cycle Ending — and Is Asia the Next Beneficiary? Singapore’s equity market is doing something it hasn’t done in years — outperform quietly. 🇸🇬 The Straits Times Index (STI) has delivered a ~25% total return in 2025 (including dividends), marking one of its strongest years in the past 15 years. No AI frenzy. No retail mania. Just steady capital appreciation and income. At the same time, Goldman Sachs’ Global Equity Outlook (2025–2035) raises a question global investors can no longer ignore. ⸻ 🧠 The US “Super-Bull” Was Exceptional — Not Normal Over the past decade: 📊 The S&P 500 returned ~15% annualized That places the 2014–2024 period among the top decile of equity

🏦🔥 DBS & OCBC at Record Highs — The “Boring” Trade That Keeps Beating Everything 🔥🏦 While the market argues about rate cuts, AI bubbles, and the next 10-bagger… DBS and OCBC quietly hit new highs. • DBS ~$56 • OCBC ~$19.47 No hype. No storytelling. Just cash, discipline, and compounding. And that’s exactly why this matters. ⸻ 🧨 The Big Misconception: “Rate Cuts Will Kill Bank Stocks” That’s true — for old-school banks. But SG banks have already evolved: • Wealth-management fees now cushion NIM pressure • Fee income is becoming a core earnings driver • Less dependence on pure lending spreads DBS and OCBC are no longer just banks — they are Asia wealth platforms wearing a bank licence. ⸻ 💰 Why These Highs Are Different Let’s be clear: These highs are not speculative highs. They are suppo

$Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$   My Personal View on STI’s Breakout and the Shifting Balance in Global Equities Over the past few months, I have been paying closer attention to how global equity leadership is evolving, and one development that really stood out to me is Singapore’s performance. Quietly but decisively, the STI delivered around 25 percent total return in 2025, one of its strongest results in more than 15 years. For a market that is usually associated with stability, dividends, and moderate growth, this kind of outperformance made me pause and reflect on what might be changing beneath the surface. What makes this even more interesting is the timing. Around the same period, Goldman Sachs released its Global Equity Outlook 20

Quiet compounder. Holding both DBS and OCBC has been a steady and reassuring experience for me. Seeing them hit fresh intraday highs reinforces why I like Singapore banks as core positions — strong wealth-management income, disciplined capital returns, and clear dividend visibility make them feel dependable even as the rate cycle turns. Between the two, I appreciate DBS for its consistency and dividend clarity, while OCBC adds value with a slightly cheaper valuation and improving fee momentum. Even with some NIM pressure ahead, the overall package still feels resilient, especially when buybacks and dividends continue to support share prices. I also use DLCs $DBS 5xLongSG280330(LQSW.SI)$ $OCBC 5xLongS

🌟🌟🌟One word to describe my experience of holding $DBS(D05.SI)$ and $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ is "GRATEFUL ". I am grateful that both DBS and OCBC are performing well and a deep feeling of being secure, knowing that my capital is parked in the backbone of Singapore's economy, protected by solid returns and nice juicy dividends. Grateful that I have invested in our strong Singapore banks that are dominating the wealth management space and delivering great value to shareholders. Go Long Go Strong Go DBS and OCBC 🥰🥰🥰🚀🚀🚀🌛🌛🌛💰💰💰🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬 @Tiger_SG @Tiger_comments

I started accumulating over time the 3 Singapore banking shares (DBS, UOB, OCBC) since more than 25 years ago.  I started buying DBS as low as $18 and OCBC $4.   My original intent was to have them serve as my retirement nest egg.  The dividend payout was consistently at 5-6% yoy.   The total values plus the dividends payout had compounded to about 5 times of the initial invested amount.   This is definitely able to combat the inflation impact over time.    Since I joined Tiger platform, I started accumulating more of these banking shares.  I also invest in US, HK stock, options and other SG counters in a balanced manner because I believe all eggs must not be in one basket, neither should all baskets be in the same building.   Investing in SG ba

🌟🌟🌟This is a dilemma - to bet it all on the proven US market or seek value in the dynamic , yet volatile Asia. My answer is "Why not both?" This isn't about choosing between these 2 markets .  It combines fundamentally 2 different markets to forge a more robust , resilient and globally diversified portfolio. Investing in both the US and Asian markets allows me to capture the best of both worlds and effectively manage risk through diversification. It is about balancing growth and value .  I get exposure to high growth , innovation driven engine of the US markets while at the same time , I am tapping into the attractive valuations and steady high dividend strategies offered by markets in Singapore, Southeast Asia and Hong Kong. This is also about not putting all my eggs into 1 bas

From my point of view, the STI’s $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ 25% total return and broad-based strength across mid- and small-caps show how much rate cuts have revived sentiment in Singapore. Even with institutions taking profits, S-REITs still look resilient, and lower funding costs should keep their outlook solid into 2026. Goldman’s $Goldman Sachs(GS)$ warning about weaker U.S. equity returns over the next decade feels reasonable after such an exceptional 10-year run. It doesn’t signal the end of the U.S. bull market, but it does suggest that future gains may be slower and more selective. If I could only pick one region for the next decade, I’d lean toward Asia — especially Singapore — for its val

If forced to choose only one market for the next decade, I still lean toward the U.S. The innovation engine remains unmatched, supported by dominant tech moats, strong profitability and deep capital markets. Even if returns cool, structural compounding in AI, cloud, biotech and semiconductors keeps the long-term uptrend intact. Asia is attractive, especially Singapore, with cheaper valuations, stable dividends and healthier policy visibility. It offers steadier income and selective growth, but lacks the global profit engines that drive consistent decade-long outperformance. So my choice is the U.S., with Asia as a complementary allocation rather than the core.
