Sold all at $0.56. 
Read so many gloomy comments from
3 different forum sites until I also didn' t
feel like holding. *sigh*
Also not happy Mr Biden was reported
to have the intent to stay tough with China.

Technology a Key Component of Singapore Quality Factor Stocks
Five of Singapore& rsquo s 10 stocks with the highest positive quality factor exposure (with high ROE and low Debt-to-Equity) represent the Technology Sector and include AEM, Valuetronics, Silverlake Axis, Venture and UMS.  
Together the 10 stocks have generated positive average (+13%) and median (+15%) total returns since the STI made its 9 June 2839 high. 
Singapore Stocks Ranked with Most Positive Quality Factors
As detailed in the recent Factor Investing in Singapore Report by Nicolas Rabener (click here for full report, Quality is one of five Factors used by modern day analysts to characterise stocks.)
Two key Quality Factors used by FactorResearch, and the broader research community, include financial returns and debt, both expressed in terms of the stocks& rsquo total equity.  The Factor Investing in Singapore Report, which was completed in collaboration with Singapore Exchange, ranked more than 100 stocks according to their Quality Factors. The 10 stocks that were amongst those with the most positive quality factor included AEM Holdings, China Sunsine Chemical Holdings, Valuetronics Holdings, Silverlake Axis, PropNex, Venture Corporation, SATS, Sheng Siong Group, UMS Holdings and  Tianjin Zhongxin Pharmaceutical Co.
As a group, the 10 stocks outpaced the Straits Times Index (& lsquo STI& rsquo ) since the benchmark made its recent high of 2839 on 9 June and since the end of 2019, through to 26 August. The comparative median total return of the 10 stocks, relative to the STI total return is illustrated below.
Traditionally, Index providers and investors have grouped stocks according to their asset class, the country in which they are listed or conduct their business, the highly cyclical or less cyclical sector they represent, in addition to their liquidity. Factor investing is a relatively new method of grouping, that looks to link past and potential performances of stocks according to common factor attributes.
Company Financials & Economic Cycles
Common Quality Factor attributes can include net profit margins, return on equity and invested capital, or the degree of financial leverage and accrued income, and the Factor Investing in Singapore Report used an equal-weight combination of return-on-equity (& lsquo ROE& rsquo ) and debt-to-equity (& lsquo DTE& rsquo ) ranking stocks with the highest ROE and lowest DTE.  Such financials can attract much investor attention in economic downturns.
The Factor Investing in Singapore report also noted that based on long term stock market and economic data in the United States - quality stocks tended to outperform in both economic slowdowns (along with momentum and low volatility) and economic recessions (along with low volatility and value). Quality stocks were not observed to outperform in recovery and growth phases.
Ranking Stocks by Quality Factors
The table below provides the list of stocks that are amongst the largest and most traded Singapore stocks that demonstrated the highest positive quality factors. As noted above this was based on ROE and DTE financial metrics.  The 10 stocks, sort by the highest positive Quality Factor at the time Factor Investing in Singapore report was published are tabled below.

Since the STI formed its 2839 high on 9 June, it has declined by 9.0%, with dividend distributions trimming that decline to 7.5%. During this time, just one of the 10 stocks has underperformed the STI, with SATS declining 9.8%.  Of the 10 stocks tabled above, SATS maintained the highest long-term debt to equity ratio. As noted in its most recent Annual Report, SATS increased its Group total debt to S$624.4 million in FY20 (ending 31 March) from S$95.7 million in FY19, which included increasing Company total debt to S$468.9 million in FY20, from S$95.4 million in FY19. This was to strengthen the Group& rsquo s balance sheet, hence allowing the Group to weather the impact from COVID-19 pandemic.
The next five stocks that ranked the highest in the Quality Factor were China Aviation Oil, Frencken, SIA Engineering, ST Engineering and Hi-P International.

Weird and scary if stock prices cannot recover 
after each XD. Buyers will all run away if
share prices keep dropping closer 
and closer to zero after repeated XDs.
