My posts are " fact driven" , I like this observation........ but the problem is some maybe " coffee shop" sourced, and if these views come before the fact, I have to careful how I tell them, otherwise I may step on " some people" toes.... so what I normally do is to throw them in the sea of " fact driven" news media.... some times I tease people that some interesting news are coming, like I did say here there will be on on DBS and Keppel..... but they are largely ignored, no body seems interested.... all I can say now is that piece of development , if happened, is worth another $2 to $3 to the price... which means at the rate DBS is moving, sixty will be done in the coming days..... don' t have to wait till the next results to smell it...... Enjoy when it happens....., for me, I leave it as that, and look forward to all kinds of catalytic scenarios that could bring DBS to the next level...... no post from me, doesn' t mean I sold all.... the bulk will always be with me, I think I' m the most loyal and bullish DBS investor here....so I say what I advocate, No $100 No sell.... if this doesn' t come, I' ll leave them for my grand kids to enjoy..... Will post only if there' s another earth shattering development going to happen......

I am actually one of your followers. I do not post much. I do find your posts insightful. But since it is fact driven, the masses may not be able to appreciate it. The other thread feels more like junk food and people tend to gravitate toward rubbish. Just my 2 cents worth on the view nos. |

NO WORDS 2.0...... won' t be providing any more such latest views and news from here on......too little views.......waste of time ...... imagine, a post like this garners only 100 views......whereas a fake news from a screwloose nutcrack can get 500 views, and someone who sent Christmas greeting at the other side can get 1000 views!......crazy man! Any way, I got some veryinteresting news on DBS and Keppel to share, but as they are from the coffee shops, I have to wait for gangsters confirmation before I move them here...... because the gangsters are UNBELIEVABLE and so, are more believeable whereas the coffee shops uncles are UNBELIEVABLE and so are not so believable.......got it? In any case, if I don' t get a thousand views, I won' t post the tokkong news....... because there must be enough interest for me to post..... correct not?

In 2026, the potential acquisition of Income Insurance by DBS Bank is widely viewed as the " final puzzle piece" needed for DBS to match its local rivals, OCBC and UOB, who already possess large, dedicated insurance arms. This move would be strategically beneficial for DBS, though it involves complex financial and regulatory hurdles.
Strategic Rationale and Benefits
The acquisition would provide DBS with significant advantages:
2) Revenue Diversification: With over 60% of its income from Net Interest Income (NII), an insurance arm would provide a crucial buffer through non-interest income, similar to Great Eastern' s contribution to OCBC' s revenue.1) Competitive Parity: DBS is currently the only one of the " Big Three" local banks without a large, wholly-owned insurance subsidiary. Acquiring Income would complete its evolution into a fully diversified financial powerhouse. 3) Wealth Management Synergy: Integrating Income' s established customer base with DBS' s strong wealth management franchise would create immediate cross-selling opportunities and economies of scale. 4) Market Leadership: An acquisition would solidify DBS' s position as a comprehensive financial services leader in Singapore and the region. Current Status and Outlook
As of 2026, no official deal has been announced, but DBS is considered the most logical local buyer:
3) High Probability: Analysts consider the probability of a DBS acquisition to be high, contingent on navigating the regulatory landscape.
1) Failed Allianz Deal: A previous attempt by Allianz to acquire 51% of Income was blocked by the Singapore government in late 2024 over concerns for Income' s social mission (providing affordable insurance). 2) Government Openness: The government remains open to a new deal, provided the social mandate is legally and financially protected. A deal with a local entity like DBS is seen as more likely to satisfy these requirements. Financial and Market Implications
The acquisition is expected to be financially sound for DBS, provided the terms are favorable:
1) Accretive Potential: While not immediately impacting Earnings Per Share (EPS), the acquisition is expected to be accretive in the mid-term through operational synergies and capital optimization. 2) Market Sentiment: The market is generally positive about " bolt-on" acquisitions that strengthen fee-based income. However, investors are cautious about the valuation and ensuring the deal is commercially viable and not solely a " national service" operation. 4) Capital Strength: DBS enters 2026 with a robust capital base and is focused on maintaining record high dividends (projected 6.1% yield), indicating it has the financial capacity for such a transaction without significantly disrupting shareholder returns. Role of Temasek Holdings
Temasek, the controlling shareholder of DBS (approx. 29% stake), would play a decisive but indirect role:
1) Strategic Restructuring: Effective April 1, 2026, a new entity, Temasek Singapore (TSG), will manage local portfolio companies like DBS.2) Facilitating Alignment: TSG is mandated to make local companies globally competitive while staying rooted in Singapore. This structure makes Temasek the likely orchestrator to encourage or oversee a DBS-Income alignment, potentially acting as a guarantor for the preservation of Income' s social mission. Key Hurdles and Risks The primary challenges revolve around the regulatory requirements and financial structure:
3) Execution Risk: With DBS shares at a premium valuation, there is " no room for error" . Any perceived mismanagement of the integration could lead to a negative re-rating of the stock.1) Preserving the Social Mission: Any acquirer must prove they can sustain Income' s mission without prioritizing aggressive capital returns. 2) The S$2 Billion Surplus: A surplus carried over during Income' s corporatization is " off-limits" for capital extraction, requiring value to be found through operational synergies instead. Where does Allianz withdrawal leave Income Insurance? DBS Bank, a global award-winning and the largest Southeast Asian bank by assets, may be poised as a possible local bank to acquire Income Insurance. It has historically owned the Insurance Corporation of Singapore which was subsequently sold in 2001. https://bizbeat.nus.edu.sg/thought-leadership/article/where-does-allianz-withdrawal-leave-income-insurance/#:~:text=DBS%20Bank%2C%20a%20global%20award,which%20it%20is%20already%20pursuing.Commentary: Allianz deal is off, but Income Insurance cannot just wait for a ' white knight' https://www.channelnewsasia.com/commentary/income-insurance-allianz-deal-withdraw-ntuc-options-4826651#:~:text=Lawrence%20Loh,-Lawrence%20Loh& text=SINGAPORE:%20With%20Allianz%20out%20of,public%20money%20for%20private%20gains.& text=If%20playback%20doesn' t%20begin%20shortly%2C%20try%20restarting%20your%20deviceIncome-Allianz saga: What' s next if German insurer decides not to pursue a revised deal?

It NOT nonsense. because of bank collapse This round of volatility is related to the exchanges&rsquo announcement on Friday evening to raise margin requirements for precious metals trigger global precious metals exchanges disallow speculative capital to push markets higher unchecked. Instead, they are cooling speculative sentiment by raising margin requirements and increasing trading costs, prompting some long positions to take profits

Reports have been coming in CLAIMING " a systemically important bank, a major player in Silver Futures, failed to pay its Margin Call by 2:00 AM and was liquidated by the futures Exchange at 2:47 AM eastern US time." The reports are CONCEALING the name of the bank, but it is confirmed that overnight, the federal reserve was forced to pump another $34 Billion into the Banking System through its Emergency Overnight Repo facility. This $34 Billion is on top of the $17 Billion which had to be pumped-in two days ago, on Friday morning. The Bank involved is described as " one of the largest players in the precious metals derivatives market" blew past every risk limit, breached every covenant. and exhausted every line of credit." The Bank is further described as having been " massively short silver we are talking massive positions numbering in the hundreds-of-millions ounces." According to the information coming out this morning, when Silver broke through $70 per ounce on Friday, this bank received a " Margin Call" from the Commodities Exchange(s) which " exceeded their liquid capital." I am further told that " the clearinghouse gave them until Sunday morning to post $2.3 BILLION in additional cash collateral." The report goes on to say that " over the past 36 hours, the Bank Executives frantically tried to raise cash. They reportedly called their counter-parties, they tried to sell assets, they begged for Bridge loans. Nobody helped them." According to the reports, " Every major bank on Wall Street looked at the Bank' s Derivatives Book and saw the bank was " already dead " they just hadn' t stop moving yet." If these reports prove to be factual, and I have NO CONFIRMATION yet, the fall of this " systemically important" bank will have immediate repercussions throughout the entire banking system. You see, a " systemically important" bank is a counter-party to many other banks in certain financial contracts, such as derivatives. If the counter-party fails, all those derivative contracts are now failed. More info if and when I get it. Check back later. UPDATE 12:48 PM EST -- According to additional information, at 2:47 AM the Bank notified the Exchange that they could NOT meet the $2.3 Billion margin call. At 3:03 AM, the Exchange began forced liquidation of the Contracts. By 4:15 AM, the Banks positions on the Exchange were fully closed. SIXTEEN MINUTES LATER FEDERAL REGULATORS SEIZED THE BANK TO PREVENT A DISORDERLY UNWIND.
