WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT DBS AND STRAITS TIMES INDEX RIGHT NOW?

-
Image
Dear readers, it is another week for the Singapore stocks markets. So, what are the developments for Singapore stocks this week? Let us find out from this post today. First, of all, the Straits Times Index (STI) closed the week ended 3 May 24, at 3,292.93. This is a resistance level and I believe the STI will be testing this resistance level going ahead. At the current level, the STI is in a neutral region.  But what is interesting is that the STI ETF (ES3.SI) is trading in an Overbought region. Based on historical trends, most of the times the STI ETF is Overbought, the STI ETF and STI is likely to correct next, hence investors vested in the STI may want to take note of this. On the broader front, the STI stocks are trading in neutral RSI region, except for DBS stock which is trading in an Overbought region. This is inevitable as DBS stock is currently trading at one of the highest levels in recent years. That's it for my insights for Singapore stocks markets for the week, catch

HOW TO INVEST BETTER WITH DECREASE IN INTEREST RATES ?

-
Image
Investing in a falling interest rate environment can present unique opportunities and challenges for investors.  As interest rates decline, the prices of fixed-income securities such as bonds typically increase, leading to capital gains for investors holding these securities. However, falling interest rates can also lower the yield on fixed-income investments, reducing the income generated by these investments. Additionally, declining interest rates can make it more challenging for investors to generate a reasonable return on their cash and fixed-income investments. In this article, we will explore several investment strategies that can be effective in a falling interest rate environment. Consider Long-term Treasury Bonds: Long-term Treasury bonds are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates, meaning that their prices tend to rise when interest rates fall. Investing in long-term Treasury bonds can therefore provide investors with capital gains as interest rates decline. Howev

SHOULD YOU WAIT FOR STOCK MARKETS TO CRASH TO MAXIMISE YOUR INVESTMENT WINDFALL?

-
Image
The stock market is a complex and ever-changing system that can be both rewarding and risky for investors. Many people have tried to time the market by waiting for a crash or a downturn in stock prices before investing, in the hopes of buying low and selling high. However, the question remains: Is it good to wait for a stock crash to invest? There are several arguments that can be made on both sides of this issue. On one hand, waiting for a stock crash to invest can be seen as a smart strategy for buying stocks at lower prices. When the market is down, many stocks are undervalued and can be purchased at a discount, potentially leading to higher returns in the long run. Additionally, investing during a downturn can be less risky, as stocks are already at a lower price and have less room to fall further. On the other hand, trying to time the market by waiting for a crash can be a risky and potentially costly strategy. The truth is that no one can predict when a crash will occur, and

HOW TO USE POSITIVE THINKING TO ATTRACT WEALTH?

-
Image
Positive thinking is a powerful tool that can be used to attract wealth and abundance into one's life. The Law of Attraction, a universal principle that states that like attracts like, suggests that by focusing on positive thoughts and feelings, individuals can attract positive outcomes and experiences, including financial prosperity. One of the key ways to use positive thinking to attract wealth is to start by changing one's beliefs about money. Many people hold negative beliefs and attitudes about money, often stemming from childhood experiences or societal conditioning. These beliefs can create blocks to abundance and prevent individuals from attracting wealth into their lives. By consciously choosing to shift these beliefs to more positive and empowering ones, individuals can open themselves up to receiving wealth and abundance. One effective way to shift beliefs about money is through the practice of affirmations. Affirmations are positive statements that are repeated

HOW CAN FRUGALITY LEAD TO WEALTH?

-
Image
Frugality is a key factor in building wealth because it involves living within your means, spending wisely, and saving for the future. By practising frugality, individuals can develop good financial habits that will lead to long-term financial security and ultimately, wealth. One of the main ways that frugality leads to wealth is through the concept of spending less than you earn. This may seem like a simple concept, but many people struggle with overspending and living beyond their means. By being frugal and mindful of their expenses, individuals can avoid falling into debt and instead, save and invest their money wisely. Frugality also involves being mindful of small, everyday expenses that can add up over time. By cutting back on unnecessary spending, individuals can save more money each month, which can then be invested or put towards paying off debt. This kind of discipline can lead to significant savings over time, helping individuals build wealth gradually. Another way tha

HAPPY LABOUR DAY 2024 EVERYONE!

Dear readers, today is Labour Day and I wish all employees a Happy Labour Day 2024! As we celebrate Labour Day today, I thought it is timely to know how Labour Day comes into about. Let me share these with you as follows. Labour Day is a public holiday in many countries around the world that is dedicated to honoring the contributions of workers and the labour movement. The origins of Labour Day can be traced back to the late 19th century when the labour movement in the United States began to advocate for better working conditions, an eight-hour work day, and higher wages for workers. The first Labour Day parade and celebration took place on September 5, 1882, in New York City, organized by the Central Labor Union. The event was meant to bring together workers from different trades and industries to demonstrate their solidarity and demand better working conditions. In 1894, Labour Day was officially recognized as a federal holiday in the United States by President Grover Cleveland,

Dear readers, a reader’s contribution is as below: In the year ahead, I am going to focus on growing my Net Income. A lot of people have the misconception that real income matters. But there are so many cases that show that the more one earns, the more he or she will spend, hence the real savings that this person has may be equivalent to one who earns less but saves a lot.

I have decided to start by creating a detailed financial spreadsheet that includes a section specifically dedicated to tracking my net income. This will allow me to see exactly how much m

WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE REACHED YOUR SALARY CEILING?

-
Image
A salary ceiling is a predetermined maximum amount of money that an individual can earn in a specific position or within a particular organization. It is set by the company or regulatory body to establish a limit on the amount of compensation that can be received by an employee. The salary ceiling may be based on factors such as the individual's level of experience, qualifications, and performance, as well as industry standards and market rates. It is designed to prevent excessive compensation and ensure fair and equitable pay practices within the organization. A salary ceiling can also serve as a benchmark for salary negotiations and promotions, providing a clear framework for determining appropriate salary levels for employees at various stages of their careers. It helps to maintain consistency and transparency in the organization's salary structure and prevents disparities in compensation among employees. Overall, a salary ceiling is a tool used to control costs, p
