Dear readers, Sembcorp Industries released its new strategy for the future last week arising from the completion of the much awaited Strategic Review of the Group. The highlight of Sembcorp’s new strategy is the repositioning of its utilities business as an integrated energy player. And other than this highlight, there is no inkling from the new strategy on what some of the investors like myself are looking for: the possibility of the privatization of Sembcorp Marine, a subsidiary of Sembcorp Industries since there is no any mention of this.

Dear readers, just some time ago, Global Yellow Page announced that it will be placing out rights shares priced at 20 cents per share in order to raise some funds for its business expansion. What surprised me was that the right shares at 20cents each was at a premium over the then trading price of Global Yellow Pages stock. Since the announcement of the rights issue, Global Yellow Pages stock price has increased. Based on yesterday’s closing, Global Yellow Pages stock are at 19 cents per share, still below the price of the rights.

Dear readers, the verdict on the GST hike has been out and Singaporeans should expect to see GST increase sometime from year 2021 to 2025 with the current 7% GST increased to 9%. While GST hike means every one of us has to fork out more for our consumption, I am at least heartened that there is still some time away from the implementation of the increased GST.

Dear readers, I returned to work yesterday after taking some days of leave during the Chinese New Year holidays. Before Chinese New Year, I was really hard at work in my house, tidying and scrubbing during the annual spring cleaning. During Chinese New Year, I have been eating lots of snacks and gaining some fats as well as watching some well-deserved movies on TV. Now after Chinese New Year, it is back to work as usual.

Dear readers, the STI carried out a good rebound of 1.14% north yesterday to reach a close of 3,516.23. To appreciate the rally, let us look at the STI ETF, an ETF which tracks the STI. When the Singapore stocks markets corrected recently, the STI ETF went to a low of $3.35 on 9 Feb 2018. Yesterday, the STI ETF, buoyed by the STI rally went to a high of $3.52. This means that if an investor has bought into the STI ETF at $3.35 for a cool 3,000 shares at a total investment of $10,050 and sells the ETF at $3.52 for a profit of $0.17 per ETF share (around 4.82% profit margin), the investor would have profited a cool $510 before transaction fees.

Dear readers, yes, finally, the government announced that it would increase GST to 9% between 2021 and 2025 as per the Budget Speech delivered by Finance Minister yesterday. While many of us would have already picked up the clues prior to the Budget Speech of an increased GST, I think not many of us would know the exact quantum of GST increase as well as the timeframe of implementation. Hence it is with great relief that we all know that yes GST will increase by 2 percentage points and that the implementation will only start between year 2021 and 2025.

Dear readers, today is the first trading day of the Chinese Year of the Dog and I believe all eyes will be on Mr Heng Swee Kiat, Singapore’s Finance Minister as he delivers Singapore Budget 2018. This year’s Budget is especially noteworthy since it is likely, as what many expected that the Government will be announcing plans to increase taxes, especially GST since the last increase many years ago.

Dear readers, yesterday, Sembcorp Marine stock posted an almost 12% drop in its share price, prompting an enquiry from the SGX about this price movement.

All of the price movements today as well as yesterday in Sembcorp Marine stock were without any corporate announcements or news and hence I believe investors into this stock should exercise any investment action on this stock with caution.

Dear readers, the US stocks managed to inch back a little after last week’s market corrections. If you were to ask me whether as a result of US stocks markets performance last Friday, one should consider entering into the Singapore stocks markets now to bargain hunt for some good stocks at good prices, I would think that it is probably too early to see whether the stocks markets correction is over already.

Dear readers, the Singapore stocks markets are performing below many expectation in the recent two trading sessions. Many are wondering whether the Singapore stocks markets will go south into market correction along with regional peers. Some wonder whether investors are looking at an unfolding of the next financial crisis? The question many investors have on their mind now is whether the current stocks markets corrections will be a sustained one or will this be a temporary “southing” of the global stocks markets?

Dear readers, I know the Singapore stocks markets have performed not good at all for the previous two trading days. And I believe what every investor has on their minds now is whether the stocks markets are going to crash soon. It is an inevitable feeling since when stocks markets go into a bear market; it really takes some time for the stocks markets to go down by some percentage on a daily basis. Hence faced with such a situation, investors naturally thought of doing any of the below.

Dear readers, on Sunday night (4 Feb 2018), I placed a “Sell” order on one of my stocks which I held and yesterday, the stock was sold, earning me some decent profits; all against the market correction of the Singapore stocks markets yesterday which was in line with that of the US stocks markets next week.

Dear readers, time flies and we are now into February 2018 and I hope you had a very productive January 2018. For most of us who are full-time working, I understand it is not easy to juggle work and family, and not to mention trying to free up some time from the busy schedule to do something toward one’s personal goals, usually at the end of a tired workday. But my advice is always to start small. Do something small everyday, even a tiny step and you can achieve much towards your personal goals over time.
