Singapore Savings Bonds: 8 things you should know

US start to raise interest rates. No more cheap funding. Current CPF also dry liao. Mdm Ho needs gambling money, so issuing government bonds...lol
According to a little bird from the West, Mdm Ho's issuing gabrament bonds is just the beginning of a series of scams to con Sinkies.
I really wonder if they will do it in June or Sept? The USD is weaker lately, meaning rate hike is not around the corner?
A friend who is in such things, cancelled our planned trip in Oct saying he needs to be around. So I think sep is a better bet.
i agree with you that MAS lack sincerity in issuing these bonds, the mentality behind is still kiasu and kiasi.
ok. last time i bought some usd share, i have sold the shares but i didn convert it to sgd yet.
i think that time the exchange rate was quite low, around last year June and Dec.
now i have earned little bit more money because of the usd strengthening.
hmm, shd i convert to sgd now or wait later...think usd will be more appreciate in the next 6 month.
Yahoo's latest news agree with you
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/sf-fe...-hike-likely--later-this-year--143121592.html
However, I believe that he is cancelling his planned trip in Oct because of China, not due to US rate hike.
Financial Raiders have entered China through Hong Kong. I suppose they are pushing the market higher before offloading their counters during the period that you mentioned. You see, there is a flaw in Chinese markets. If a counter opened up 10% in the opening trade of a trading day, it will be suspended immediately. hahaha, You don't even have the chance to take profit. Likewise, investors don't even have a chance to cut-loss when a counter opened down 10% in opening trade and get suspended. This is the concept to raid Chinese market using their own rules.
The disgruntled HK people doing what they are best at (financial markets), engineering a super bubble in China, and harvest it. They want to challenge China to eventually suspend trading for a few days, like what happened to Singapore during the Pan-El crisis. Every developing country went through such headaches to finetune their system.
It is ok to keep some USD (limited downside). Just don't itchy fingers and switch them back to shares after you exit.
thinking to buy google and apple if us market drop somemore leh. hahahaha.

the idea is to benefit govt in setting up another piggy bank ie CPF2............ just in case CPF1 forced to pay out @ 55 yrs............. it is election year song & dance. the main point is that it is done to benefit the govt and citizen is last in their mind!!! personally I think you are better off going interest shopping every now and then - you will beat the interests offered in CPF2
