$DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD(D05.SI)$...DBS 's last minute buy-up at yesterday's closing is the main reason that $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ended positive/flat instead of negative.STI jumped c.10 points at the closing.

$SINGAPORE TECH ENGINEERING LTD(S63.SI)$...a defensive and recovery stick to invest and hold.STE has three 3 businesses;- defence, which is by nature defensive; let alone we're at a time when the world is having a on-going war- aerospace engineering, in recovery from from COVID slowdown. Besides,STE has invested into aerospace OEM business like nacelles.- smart city solutions. STE has a plethora of solutions in this space from road to rail to sky (satellite communications).

$TENCENT(00700)$...Tencent fell while $Lion-OCBC Sec HSTECH S$(HST.SI)$rallied? What's going on?!There were 2 pieces of news yesterday: - Naspers/Prosus plans to reduce Tencent stake by selling it 2-3% of market daily volume each time. This was not really news. Market reacted negatively but measured.- Tencent announced partnering c.40automotive companies to provide a custom-built cloud for EVs. I think thisis a big news, a great growth area. The market is yet to take in the potential fully.Net net I am still positive on Tencent for a recovery rally. I see its share price to break $400 any time!What do you think?

$Lion-OCBC Sec HSTECH S$(HST.SI)$...is HST on an up trend?It surely looks like that to me.It has higher lows since middle March's all time low at 0.584 and has crossed the 50-D MA line. Further crossing 100-D MA line is certainly a good indicator of a middle-term rise trend.Fundamentally, Chinese techs have experienced a broad and significant decline during the past 2+ years due to China's regulatory actions and geopolitical pressures.Since middle March, HST has recovered from its ATL for c.40%. China has reaffirmed policies to support the technical industries including the all powerful Internet platform companies.So it certainly looks like we're gettinga better time ahead of us, and HST could be a good co

Most of the REITs, particularly industrial, those costsa
