The market is getting cheaper by the day. Some people are worried, while others are happy. The most common question I faced recently is “Is it a good time to enter”. It is really impossible to buy at the lowest, but I shall attempt to show the next major support for S&P500 and STI using classical technical analysis.

Should buy DBS now to enjoy 5.9% yield?
Buffet once said “Only buy something that you are perfectly happy to hold if the market shuts down for 10 years.” One such stock for most Singaporeans is DBS (D05.SI).
At the moment of writing, the last done for DBS is 20.20. The dividend yield will then be 1.20/20.2 = 5.9%. Is it a good time to buy now or is it a falling knife?
Wait for Bullish Divergence
Bullish divergence is one of the highest probability setups, especially when used in the weekly time frame.
Waiting for Stochastic Hook with bullish weekly candle
This is a simple indicator that attempts to catch a reversal. It helps me to buy low, but it is definitely not foolproof.
Good things comes to those who wait
There are many people asking me when is the right time to buy……

Elite Commercial Reit IPO
I have been wanting to invest in UK properties for some time, as I have the view that Brexit is good for UK. I was looking for Reits listed in UK, but did not find any that I like. This latest IPO will give me the opportunity to put my thoughts into action, and without hassle of managing lawyers, real estate agents, bankers, and renovation contractors.

Nibbled Ascendas Reit at TERP
I bought some Ascendas Reit (A17U.SI) at the TERP (theoretical ex-rights price) of 3.10 today.
Comparing Debt to Earnings
I always compare my leveraged returns against the best practices in the market, such as professional REIT managers borrow banks to make money for their Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT). This allows me to evaluate the risks that I am taking vs the potential returns.
Is leverage good or bad?
Leverage is defined as the process of borrowing money to make an investment, with the expectation that the profits made from the investment will be greater than the interest on the debt.
In my investments in bonds and reits, I like to use leverage. On the other hand, some of my friends stay clear of leverage. They try to pay off their loans as soon as possible.
So is leverage good or bad?
