x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Not if the much awaited 10% to 20% drawdown has started. If tonite Dow drops -800 pts intraday and Nasdaq drops -500 pts intraday and S & P drops -100 pts intraday, then most likely the correction has started. Then we will see a sea of red on Friday.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Its unfortunate that we have a string of bad events happening one after another. First, Optus outage and service disruption issues which impacted SingTel. Then comes allowing tons of Ah Peks and Ah Mmms to sell SingTel discounted shares. Followed by sentiments turning from bull to bear with this correction. A string of unfortuanate events for SingTel fans and diehard shareholders. The only comfort is the 10.3 cts dividend. Small comfort. But better than dun have.  sanvan      ( Date: 04-Jun-2026 10:26) Posted: singtel... the selling continues. 4.29 : 4.30. looks like we will see 4.20 soon.  sigh.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	" The sky is falling." I think the long awaited correction has started. Anything from 10% to 20%. " Even at 10%, it will feel like a bear market" quote unquote Tom Lee. Brace guys. Brace. Dont go selling in panic. If your strategy is to chase stocks on good news and sell on bad news, you will lose money in the long run. It should be the reverse - buy slowly to accumulate on bad news and sell slowly to take profits on good news when markets recover. Then you will make money. Having said that, I dont mean buy now. Wait for 10% down first. Then reassess whether market wants to go to 15%....or 20%. The silver lining is when this correction ends, it is time to load up. Becoz quote unquote Tom Lee " we are going to see the best gains in the stock market in 2027" .

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	gave you a Like Bro Wave for another info nugget on timing top up date wavehunter      ( Date: 03-Jun-2026 00:10) Posted: Bro koala, Make your decision quickly and then top up your RA by 15th June. Why ar? Top up your RA using electronic payment like Paylah. It takes only 1 or 2 working days for CPF to process your payment. If you pay by cheque, they require at least 7 working days to process your payment. 7 working days is their own self-imposed service standard. If for whatever reason your cheque payment is processed only in early July, then you will lose out one whole month of interest. How it works is your top up does not earn interest in the month you make the top-up. It starts earning interest from the following month. So if you top up in June and your payment is processed in June and reflected in your RA, it will start earning interest in July. If your topping up is made too near to 30 June as a result of which they process your topping up only in July, then your top-up starts earning interest only in August. This is important. Interest lost for one whole month affects your subsequent years' interest becoz interest also earns interest. It is incorrect to think you lose interest for one month only if you procrastinate and do your topping up too near to 30 June. Becoz the interest which you earn for that one month will be credited to your account in Jan 2027 and it will earn more interest for you plus compounded interest for the next few years until you start your payout. Starting point is ask yourself what is the minimum sum you wish to receive as your monthly payout. Then use CPF Life Estimator to work out how much you need to top-up now. If you have the money and you are willing, then do the top-up by 15 June or earlier. If you have the money but you are not willing to use it for the top-up, then you need to lower your expectation to accept a lower monthly payout. Understand that you are building for yourself a safety net. What you want is a stable and more or less " guaranteed" monthly payout which is sufficient to meet your living expenses. Once you have this, you are set for life. Can Bian Huan Loh leow. Whether market is bull or bear or crab (you all did notice that crabs dont walk forward or backward but only sideways, right?), it wont bother you. Becoz market good or market bad or market boring, your payout will swee swee every month come into your bank account for you to La kopi and buy toilet paper and rice etc. Whatever extra cash you still have, you can go play with chickens. If can collect eggs, then BINGO. If teok stuck also no sweat one. Just LOON until win. Becoz you already bought your safety net, ie. CPF Life. You no longer rely on the market to feed you. You no longer are at the mercy of the market for your living expenses. You have done yourself and your family a great favour by exchanging trading uncertainty for CPF Life certainty. No need to crack your head. This is defintely the right thing to do. You wont regret it. Just look at me. Rain or shine, bull or bear, good times or bad times, I will receive $2350 every month. I will get the money as a matter of certainty. Regardless of whether my trading is profitable.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Final hour of Battle between the bulls and bears to keep Singtel at 4.34.  We will soon see the outcome.  Regrettably the expected close at 4.40 is out of the question. Will have to be patient to acheive that. Way too many bears/shortists.  But soon.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Siao Lian Kay Caesar, The Passion Card Seniors Travel Concession card is indeed very u$eful. Maximum fare I pay one-way for unlimited transfer between train and bus within a 2-hr window is $1.07.  It was just 99 cts when I started taking public transport in Mar 2025. Then came an increase of 4 cts and it became $1.03. A few months later, there was another increase of 4 cts and it became $1.07. Hope it stays this way for at least 5 yrs. I like the fact that there is a cap to how much I pay per trip regardless of how many times I switch from bus to train and vice versa. If I plan my journey in advance, it is possible for me to travel from Point A to Point B, do whatever I need to do within a 45-min window and then hop back onto a train or bus to return to Point A and pay only one fare of $1.07 for the 2-way trip. Becoz of the way the system is designed, it is possible to pay 1 fare for one to and fro trip. Not to say I go out of the way to do that. I dont. But if incidentally without even trying, I can achieve that outcome, then I will do it. I dont plan for it. But if the opportunity comes, I do it. Say I go to a hawker centre for a meal. After that I catch a bus to a bus interchange which is also a train station and a mall. I can spend say 35 mins to walkwalk in that mall before hoping into another bus (cannot same service but another service number) or board a train to go home. The entire trip from the hawker centre to the mall and then back home is one trip. I pay one fare for that entire trip. When you get your concession card, you can play around and enjoy free bus rides. But is it the same for others who pay normal fare? is there also a cap per trip regardless of number of transfers between bus and train ?  Caesar      ( Date: 03-Jun-2026 14:56) Posted: Oh yes, another 7 years for me. But first of all, I want to get the bus/mrt concession card. Heh heh heh ... wavehunter      ( Date: 03-Jun-2026 01:17) Posted: Bro sanvan said for him is 4 years. Bro koala said for him is a couple of years. Looks like the 3 of us are 1 to 4 years apart in age. Can say  we are all around the same age leow. So we are all members of the Ah Pek Club here in The Trading Floor. I think Bro Tong also Ah Pek. Bro Caesar also Ah Pek.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	those who hv lots of $$$ in ERS n hv some health issues may be can consider Basic plan as it leaves a higher bequest bt yr monthly payout will be lower frm Standard plan....go read up n make a wise choice... wavehunter      ( Date: 03-Jun-2026 10:42) Posted: Those of you who have been following my discussions on CPF Life, whether you are approaching 65 or 55 or whether you  have started to receive your payout or whether you were born too long ago and was excluded from the scheme, here' s additional information for you. 1. If you are approaching 55 and you agree that you should do everything necessary to secure this safety net for yourself, if you can, max out to the prevailing ERS when you turn 55. You will need to set aside at least the FRS in your RA. The rest you can withdraw. Dont do that. Set aside up to the ERS in your RA. Using cash in your bank if you have to. That way, your money in your RA will earn 4% interest compounded for 10 yrs till you are 65. On top of that, ERS is revised upwards every year in January. When you are 56, you can top up your RA to the max of the revised ERS. You can use savings in your  Ordinary Account or from your cash savings to top up. If you do this 10 times from age 56 to age 65, your RA balance will be rock solid when you turn 65. This is something you will want to have. Plan for it. Do something about it. Make it happen. 2. If you are a Spore citizen or PR and you are not in the CPF Life scheme but you are below 80, you can still apply to join the scheme. Your payout will be directly pegged to how much you wish to contribute to the CPF Life pool. The more you contribute, the higher your payout. 3. If you are already receiving your payout and you wish to have an increase in your payout, just contribute more premiums to the CPF Life pool. You can do this anytime. 4. If you had opted to defer your payout to later and you wish to change your mind to start your payout, you can. Just apply and CPF Life will process it.  5. Do not worry about what if you dont live as long as you would like to. This scheme guarantees that any unused balance of a member' s premiums will be paid to his/her family in the event of premature demise. For illustration, say a member has 500k in the CPF Life pool at the start of his payout. During his lifetime, his payouts amounted to a total of 300k. The balance 200k will be paid to his family. Interest earned by the member' s premiums since the start of his payout belongs to the CPF Life pool. This is fair. This is the only way for this scheme to work. CPF Life is a social insurance scheme where pooling of everyone' s resources enables the scheme to have funds to pay members who live very long. If everyone expects their interest to be paid to their loved ones upon premature demise, then where is the money going to come from to pay those who outlive most other people. Which can be you.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Hi Sis,  do note that market had been ignoring the potential of oil px hurting market with inflation surge and only focus headline news (maybe that' s the new trend) of ceasefire progress on US-Iran war. There are so many analysis warning about the low oil inventory. This play might comes back anytimes, especially after recent few big news on tech related for AI industries, if lack of more news to push US higher, heavy profit taking likely set in very soon, can be very deep if oil px surge at the same time.  Most ppl believed SBB will push it back to 5 dollars mark, so mark your calendars, before blackout date for SBB, take profit just my view and all the best to the singtel investor here.   halleluyah      ( Date: 02-Jun-2026 16:37) Posted: green liao... stay abv 4.48 then is uptrend....up n up....dyodd.... halleluyah      ( Date: 02-Jun-2026 14:03) Posted: most likely turning green soon.........then up n up........
