Frankly, I' d be in the queue once the coast is clear.   
For LT investors, it' s a good time to pick up when mkt softens, it' s still a bullish mkt trend.  Unless otherwise proven, need to see if STI holds up above the critical support of 3313.
Some background on the current sentiment:
Ebola is no one to watch (the hospitals are badly looked after coz nurses abandoned ship as some caught Ebola and died, leaving docs manning the station, will Ebola be contained?)      If Ebola hits HK, mkt is gonna crash.  Right now Hang Seng is flying high, but don' t be deceived.
Second thing to watch is the US employment and inflation figures, read the mind of the Fed before the next FOMC.  There are strings of figures pouring out from the US.     China PMI (softened).
Argentina I think is a non-issue.
Gaza, Israeli troops are withdrawing, hence the crisis could simmer down which is positive to the stock markets.
Iraq - a new development where the nasties have taken control of a strategic spot, see how they resolve that.
Russian sanction will affect Europe exports, there' s a small downside to that.
Day to day mkt sentiment in the morning seems bearish on DBS, need to watch closely the MD and sales.
Here is the DBS market depth:
Notice there are sellers on the queue as well (these are risk aversive investors who may have bought in at lower price and are taking profits just to be on the safe side).
Of course, if one is a LT investor, one would not worry about the day to day price.    Nevertheless, entry price is still the key to maximising profitability for stocks.
 
 
When can start buying?

Blue chips are being sold down in the first minutes of trading.
Best to wait for mkt direction to clearer.
DBS, UOB, OCBC, all down.
STI is down to 3333.92 minus 10.5 at this very moment.       
Basicially today is a day when the mkt is directionless due to decline in Wall Street last Friday.
 
Agree.    When the new rules on smaller shares of 100 per lot are implemented, there will be more retail participation in these bluest of blue chips. 
From The Edge (31st Jul 2014)
DBS Group Holdings, Southeast Asia&rsquo s biggest bank, vaulted to the top among takeover advisers in the region for the first time in its history after winning more business from Temasek Holdings Pte, its main shareholder.
The bank climbed from No. 24 a year ago following work on US$16.6 billion ($20.7 billion) of deals in the first half, including the region&rsquo s largest acquisition in the period, data compiled by Bloomberg show. DBS&rsquo s jump may lead to higher investment-banking income at the Singapore-based bank, which will probably report a 4% gain in second-quarter profit tomorrow.
Led by Chief Executive Officer Piyush Gupta, DBS is expanding outside Singapore and focusing more on fee-generating businesses such as wealth management to bolster growth. The bank and its rivals had the busiest first half since 2006 on merger- and-acquisition advisory as companies globally tap more than US$4 trillion of cash and low interest rates to fund purchases.
&ldquo It&rsquo s pretty impressive,&rdquo Jim Antos, a Hong Kong-based analyst at Mizuho Securities Asia, said by telephone on July 30. DBS was &ldquo taking market share apparently from global banks in trade flows between mainland China and Southeast Asia. Now it&rsquo s M& A.&rdquo
 
DBS has a strong presence in HK and  understand Shanghai and HK Exchange will unify a few months later meaning more trade and fundraising. China is also slowly loosening credit control and encouraging banks to give more loans to support business in needs. So, I think DBS & OCBC should benefits in the coming years.
Very pleased with DBS' s performance.      And Gupta' s explanation.      The only worry is their exposure to China through their sub which could put a dampener on performance if a credit event happens in China.
Saw Gupta on CNA, he seems a very capable and smart leader.         
 
0.28. If you follow its pricing trend, this quarter onwards, it will not lagged behing UOB anymore. I am invested in DBS for future. Not intention to sell any banking stocks.
agreed.   Did DBS declare any dividend in their recent announcement?   Not very clear I must say
Think DBS will go up in place of UOB. UOB is in downtrend due to hugh NPL. In term of dividend payout, at this current price DBS is better than UOB. If DBS can keep up this performance, it may even have special dividend for year-end.
First half earning $2B is it good ?..Div 28c...
