Serious Singapore Stock Exchange Is In Trouble

[ckmpd]

Mkt basically dominated by GLC's and financial institutions(and their related coys esp properties)-so its shallow and they pay miserly dividends (but high executive salaries).

Retail players getting a raw deal as seen from Clob/S chips disaster and more recently pacific Andes/china fishery.

Many of the new listing/including bonds are private placements only-so do they expect retail investors to buy at premium from secondary market?
Locals have no money left after paying the loans for their overpriced pigeonholes-so who is left?

Institutional investors who knows better (your Buffett/Icahn)are not taking the bite -can you have control/takeover CapitaLand/SIA/Singtel on the cheap?
Can a big investor take over an ailing SIA, sack all these highly paid govt appointees and turn it around?

The appointment of NOL "hero" Ng Yat Chung to a listed company like SPH says it all-will shareholders in other countries even allow it to happen? When international investors look at that appointment, what will be their impression be of the corporate sector here?
You want to invest in this type of market?

Excellent analysis. Thanks

SG market is in trouble because of pap's manipulation and control of the market.

A govt must not be in business and compete with private enterprise. PAP's model kills

Stocks are one of the first things that went global. Sinkie stocks the flux is so low you be wasting a lot of time and resources and making very little. Unless you be a lazy bastard that just want to swim in blue chips you be better off doing more research in bigger markets

agree. that's why investors are skipping the unattractive SG exchange. Coupled with the high listing costs, many smaller companies are pulling out of SG Exchange. Hence exit of the 56 companies in 2yrs. More are likely to follow in 2017 and 2018

then why are you still in it promoting stocks from the sg sexchange? is there an ulterior motive?

I share what I know be it economics, politics, singapore, share market, industry, aviation, companies, sia, Kep corp, SGX, meteorology, etc. anyone is free to express her opinions.

SIA is facing many challenges and the management has done badly in facing competition and hedging fuel prices badly. If the challenges continue to be mismanaged, we will see SIA reporting its annual loss soon despite its creative accounting. Will SIA go the way of NOL? Time will tell. Will it sell its A380 fleet? never say never

Will Sem Marine die? Keep your ears and eyes open. My take is, it will be sold just like NOL.

Do your due diligence when you read others' views and assessments

If you are not familiar with the subject matter, dont follow blindly and buy stocks that analysts recommend. do your own research and analysis

This confirms you are a jilted and bitter woman.

There is plenty of politics going on in the business world of Spore
As a part time investor without any insider connections to the elites I'm at a disadvantage.

This is why I got out of the Spore market. There is a bigger pond out there & I would recommend people get an account with a foreign broker & explore.

the share market is being manipulated by the bigger players. In SG the biggest manipulator is Temasek holdings

29 companies have recently been put on the watch list by SGX. These companies failed to meet the minimum trading price and are in danger of being delisted. These companies represent abt 10% of the number of companies listed. This shows the woes at SGX.

Many of these 29 companies are expected to be delisted.

Trouble brews on the Singapore Exhange

The lack of liquidity is causing SG a lot of problems

Developer Top Global is seeking a delisting from the Singapore Exchange to escape looming penalties it would otherwise have to pay for unsold homes a year from now.

If it succeeds, Top Global would become the fourth property firm in Singapore to exit the bourse in recent years for this reason.

Executive chairman Oei Siu Hoa, also known as Sukmawati Widjaja, launched a cash offer to buy out minority shareholders for 33 cents a share.

Popular Holdings delisted in 2015 and SC Global delisted in 2013 - both to avoid QC charges.

Soilbuild Group delisted in 2010

There should be some rules to prevent manipulation. It is considered insider trading in the sg context even though it follows the trading law.

.. I am a layman but your analysis is so true...why would Osim take it private and re-list in another country...enuf said

True. But when the govt sees it fit to manipulate SG's electoral system with GRCs and PAP controlling the Elections Dept and amending the Constitution to have a reserved PE, this problem pales in comparison.

When the govt enters into business to compete with private enterprise, who is gg to level the playing field?

So, the govt needs to get out of doing business but just concentrate on governing SG. The govt shd not own DBS to compete with UOB, OCBC. The govt should not own Fairprice to compete with the neighbourhood provision shops and Giant. The govt shd not own NTUC Income to compete with AVIVA, Prudential, the govt shd not own Comfort taxis to compete with Prime.

The govt going into business has killed SG businesses
