I think the Spore market is only for punters, people who have insider info, etc. If you are a long term investor you are better off investing in Malaysian stocks e.g. those producing commodities. They will always be around & the dividen they provide is decent. Just my opinion

wilmar should be ok. plus some indonesian plantations listed in singapore.
keppel for offshore rigs. market leader.
tech stocks are mostly rubbish. volatile and little in terms of dividend.
gaming, numbers,punters, good during down turn.
too bad hin leong is not listed. one of the largest oil trader in the region.
any other stock of companies leading in terms of market share of a particular product.

I regret selling my Keppel shares, but that was just before the big crash:)

I'm a investor with a long term view. Still hanging onto my CLOB shares & US share which I bought 15+ years ago. Investing in Spore has become less attractive ever since they implemented that $12 per month, per counter charge, just for holding your shares. In the past I had plenty of $$$ invested in Spore: unit trusts, stock market,CPF investment.. I now only have the CPF investments scheme. It's actually losing money but since I can't touch, I'm ignoring it.

In Malaysia & the US they don't charge you a holding fee. Brokerage fees are also much cheaper. In the US I can buy or sell millions of dollar of stock for just US$10:eek: Money is mobile & not constrained by the rules & regulation of the PAP, so why should I bother with the Spore market:confused:

Singapore Stocks-Up by midday; rigbuilders extend gains

Wed Jan 11, 2012 12:59am EST

* Index up 0.3 percent at 0500 GMT
* Rig builders extend gains on order hopes
* JPMorgan downgrades SGX stock to underweight

By Eveline Danubrata

SINGAPORE, Jan 11 (Reuters) - Singapore shares rose by midday on Wednesday after U.S. stocks advanced to a five-month high on hopes for strong corporate earnings, and rig builders extended gains on expectations of more orders.

By 0500 GMT, the Straits Times Index (STI) was up 0.3 percent, or 7.15 points, at 2,726.98. About 529 million shares worth S$583 million were traded, compared with 454.6 million shares worth S$449.9 million at the same time on Tuesday.

However, market sentiment is likely to remain cautious, with the primary focus this week being Spanish and Italian debt auctions on Thursday and Friday. The two big euro zone economies are seen as most at risk from the region's debt crisis.

On Wednesday, shares of Singapore oil rig builders Sembcorp Marine Ltd and Keppel Corp Ltd were up 4.1 percent and 1.3 percent, respectively.

"We remain overweight on the offshore and marine sector and believe Keppel Corp and Sembcorp Marine are well positioned to benefit from increased industry spending and any upgrade/replacement opportunities," Deutsche Bank said in a report on Wednesday.

Interest has been returning to mid or deepwater rigs, Deutsche said, adding that higher activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico may bode well for Keppel Corp and Sembcorp Marine.

J.P. Morgan downgraded Singapore Exchange Ltd (SGX) to underweight from neutral and lowered its target price to S$5.30 from S$7.00, citing weak trading volumes.

SGX is slated to report its second-quarter result for its 2012 fiscal year on Jan 16 and J.P. Morgan said it expects the bourse to post a profit of S$59 million, down 33 percent quarter-on-quarter and 21 percent year-on-year.

SGX was down about 1 percent by early afternoon.

Am not surprised that SGX got downgraded.

Its turnover during the last quarter was record low.

When the BIG recession hit, heard that some depositors had problems withdrawing their money from Spore banks . The PAP had to guarantee deposits to prevent a run. There was plenty of fear worldwide :(

At least with my money in the US, I think up to US$500,000 is guaranteed. Liquidity in the US markets is also much better. The troubles are not yet over, there's still the issue of Europe. :(
