  A reminder of the Singapore Miracle Happy Birthday to my beloved country, Singapore, a place where I call home. If Singapore was a listed company which could be bought and sold like any other securities on the stock exchange, the “Singapore stock” would have made you close to 159x return in 58years. Singapore GDP per capita started at a mere USD $500 in 1965 had risen to USD $82,000 by end of 2022. On Aug 9th 1965, a country barely half the size of London with no natural resources and 2m population comprised of mostly the poor and the hungry set out to be a new Nation with huge odd stacked against her. Our pioneer generation was given the daunting task of undertaking Project Singapore, creating jobs and attracting investments into our country. With sheer luck and ingenuity, a miracle of atomic proportion was born out of wedlock. Once again here to the Grand Old Lady, Happy 58th National Day, Singapore! 🥂  Mental Wellness  Coco Lee’s sudden death shocked the world of entertainment. A

  The result for Aug 2023 issue SSBs was under subscribed again. Roughly 50% of the 600m issue found buyers. I thought at 2.99% risk free for 10 years was not too shabby, maybe all the money had flown into 6 months T-Bills. Yield for Sept SSBs is likely to be similar to Aug issue.

  (Credit: MAS website) Welcome to Aug SSBs review. The 10 years average yield came in at 2.99% which I think is decent. Next month SSBs yield base on the 10 years SGS bond yield is likely to be similar to this month. The yield on 10 years SGS bond had came off from the 3.1%ish level toward 2.9%ish towards end of the month. The drop in inflation data coming out of US pushes the yield on 10 years UST down therefore lowering the yield for our 10 years SGS. The current month application closed on 26th July 9pm.

Lost decade of Singapore Market) I spent two nights thinking about this write up since it is a subject close to my heart. The passion and concern I had for our stock market are real. I hope SGX can see my commentary in a positive light. It is about solving problem that matters, no witch-hunting was intended. During my last monthly update. I am critical about SGX for not doing enough to promote the vibrancy of our stock market. After the blog, I have been getting more SGX senior executives looking at my LinkedIn profile. I hope people at SGX can see it as constructive criticism. I want to make my point of view clear before anyone get an impression that I am grinding my axe on our stock market. I love Singapore market, I am also a bull on Singaporean companies. How could I not love our stock market where I allocate most of my investment? The declining interest in our stock market did not happen overnight, i

Some of the best food can be found in hawker centres across the island. There are a couple of hawker stalls that stand out to be fine examples of what cheap and good really means. In Singapore, there are plenty of expensive and good food but hawkers preserving their trade by selling affordable food is a dying breed. I came across 2 stalls that are sticking their necks out by going against the trend of food inflation. They are genuinely passionate in showcasing their culinary prowess and profitability is secondary to them.  Cat in The Hat Bakery 505 Beach Road, Golden Mile Hawker Centre(#01-106) Operating hours 11am-3pm I am about to share a secret bargain for French pastries, a Chocolate Tart for $2.50?
