Wolf Money(Singapore Savings Bonds June 2023 review)

Image
  SSBs for June 2023 carry the flattest yield for any SSBs. First year yield is at 2.81%. On the 10th year, yield is at 2.82%. The flat yield curve is indicative of a slowing economy in Singapore. The current Singapore 10 years bond yield is less than 2.8%. If it continue, SSBs average yield for July issue will be lower. The closing date for this month SSBs fall on 26 May @9pm. I probably skip this month issue. June issue is likely to be under subscribed.  Please consider follow us on telegram for the latest update on Lone Wolf investor by clicking on the link below.

Wolf Money(100th Birth Anniversary of Mr Lee Kuan Yew Commemorative Coin)

  (Image source MAS website) (Image source MAS website) (Image source MAS website Beautifully design coin) (Legal tender with face value of $10) Monetary Authority of Singapore is issuing a coin to commemorate the 100th birth anniversary of our founding Prime Minister, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew. The coin is legal tender and has a face value of $10. The coin makes an excellent return on investment with no downside risk given it is legal tender at $10. I speculate it might sell above face value on secondary market. Each coin will be sold at $10. There is a limit of maximum 5 coins per person. Each will be given at least 1 coin per application with 2 coins or more subject to balloting. Only Singaporean and PR need to apply. Non Singaporean have to wait for general exchange at banks if there are any uncollected coins. Closing date is on the 9th of June 2023. More detail and application form can be found at MAS website below.  https://www.mas.gov.sg/news/media-releases/2023/$10-coin-to-commemorate-t

Wolf Bargain(Case of the missing Little Thailand)

  (Source : Wikipedia Golden Mile Complex will be saying its final goodbye in May) Since my last case , Detective Lone Wolf had been sitting easy and smacking flies. Today a new case has came to my attention, the case of the missing “Little Thailand”. Little Thailand used to locate at Golden Mile Complex. The place got its nickname for its popularity among Thai Nationals working in Singapore as a choice destination to meet their fellow countrymen. In the eighties and early nineties, it wasn’t as peaceful, it had a reputation of being lawlessness, arm robbery, snatch theft, fights caused by drunken were common during those days. Local residents had it, it was best to avoid Little Thailand during payday where trouble was one arm length away with danger lurking at Gangsta’s Paradise. In the 2000s, situation turned for the better as fewer Thai workers came to Singapore to work due to more attractive wage in their own country. Golden Mile Complex was also one of the earliest mixed developme
