The stock market is not a place where everyone gathers and make money.The market is brutal and can hurt those who does not take it seriously.Today's brutal session in the market shows why people generally fear and avoid the stock market.The STI index drops about 2.1% today on session close and it is one of the larger drop I have seen in this year.One of the main cause of drop is due to the announcement made last night by MAS in a bid to tighten the mass retail market demand by raising the ABSD and tightening the TDSR.Everyone processes the same common information and outcome and you can see how folks went to rush into buying a unit before the official tightening kicks in.No, it's not a bak choy sale at NTUC for $1.10, it's a freaking condo worth $1m and above!Demand from last night units s

MARKET OVERVIEW- Expect a rocky session after a slightly more hawkish Fed raised its lending rate by 25bps amid stronger economy and inflation and signalled a faster pace of hikes this year, while the ECB could begin the process to end QE today. - Trade tensions could also rear its ugly head as US President Trump prepares to impose stiff tariffs on Chinese imports as soon as Fri or next week, which is likely to prompt retaliation from Beijing.- Technically, the STI has broken beneath the crucial 200-dma at 3,430 and could head toward the next support at 3,340. MACRO WATCH*Property- Freehold 60-unit Park House, located along Orchard Boulevard, has been sold to HK-listed Shun Tak Holdings in a public tender for $375.5m, or 22% above the reserve price.- With a site area of 46,084 sf and plot

Managers of Reits with overseas assets address investors’ concerns at symposium WHILE real estate investment trusts (Reits) with overseas assets present additional risks, they also provide higher growth opportunities, and managements take several measures to allay investors’ concerns, said experts at a panel discussion at the Reits Symposium 2018. The annual one-day event, held last Saturday at the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre, is in its fourth edition.

Are you able to catch them?For existing retailer investor, I advise you to ignore the news report and spent some time to look at their latest financials results. Hopefully you will be able to pick out their "important" numbers.There are 2 "firsts" over the last 3 years in the most ignored portion of the financial results! If you picked them out, that will
