Death is often a taboo subject. Yet, death (and taxes) are the only certainties in life. Amidst the emotional upheaval, as we are confronted with mortality, knowledge of what to do can be helpful. Even if the person who passes on is a loved one’s friend, it can be useful to help our friend through this difficult period on what needs to be done. Here is a comprehensive guide on what to do after the death of a loved one. Starting off, all deaths (regardless of citizenship) that happen in Singapore have to be registered within 24 hours as mandated by law. The process of doing so and receiving the Certificate of Cause of Death (CCOD) depends on where the death occurs.

LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP The on-going Ukraine crisis has sent global stock markets into a devastating tailspin. The war occurs at a very bad timing as global economy is in the midst of recovering from the protracted pandemic. In this context, how will Healthway Medical share price unravel in 2022? A concerned Lifetime member has written in to enquire the lack of vitality for this counter. Due to the request from a Lifetime Member, I am writing this article to provide my insights on Healthway Medical share price. Apart from the request, I have been wanting to cover this counter for some time because of my recent annual body check-up at one of Healthway Medical clinics. For background, Healthway Medical is a private outpatient medical service provider operating more than 100 clinics and medical

The writing was always on the wall. Having committed close to $100 billion over the past two years to tackle COVID-19, the question wasn’t so much if the government will raise revenue, but rather, how they intend to do so. As with every budget, there will be certain sectors that will be boosted by the announcements made and others that may need to contend with a more challenging business environment in the years ahead. In this year’s special budget edition of 4 Stocks This Week, we take a look at 4 sectors that will be impacted by the announcements made in the Singapore Budget 2022. If you miss the budget, you can read our full coverage here.

LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP My last coverage on Raffles Medical share price (SGX: BSL) was in June 2020. Back then, the counter was recovering from the initial impact of the pandemic. Nonetheless, Raffles Medical share price (SGX: BSL) remained sluggish for most of 2020 until news of vaccines broke out in November 2020. Since then, global roll-out of vaccine programmes and easing of border restrictions led to Raffles Medical share price (SGX: BSL) rocketing to a near-record high of $1.55 in October 2021. Unexpectedly, the bullish form Raffles Medical share price (SGX: BSL) was brought to a screeching halt when the shares plunged 12% to reach a low of $1.35 on 3 November 2021. To be honest, the volatility of Raffles Medical share price (SGX: BSL) is rather rare and it prompted a Lifetime Member of

Singapore is currently well on track to hitting her 80% vaccination target by early September with 82% of the country have received their first shot as of 17 August 2021. With more than 80% of the population expected to be fully vaccinated, Singapore has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world. Through the national vaccination programme, Singaporeans can be vaccinated for free with either Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty or Moderna. To maximise vaccination coverage of the population, Ministry of Health (MOH) has also approved other vaccines through the Special Access Route (SAR). The SAR consist of other approved vaccines are under the World Health Organisation (WHO) Emergency use Listing (EUL). This has expanded the approved vaccines from in Singapore from 2 to 6. With higher vaccinati

 I read an BT article on 5 investment pitfalls. I thought I blog about it to crystallize my thoughts. I hope I will be able to illustrate the various points made by the author with my own examples."If something is too good to be true, it probably is" I wonder what is considered "too good to be true"? Dividends yield of more than 10%? I remember I used to own APTT, LMRT, Sabana Reit and even SPH at $3.6. Most of them have yield around 10%. except SPH.Even suspended Qingmei gave an yield of 15% for me, once. I think there is big difference here between trailing yield and future yield. Looking back, buying counters with trailing yield of around 10% or more usually does more harm than good to my portfolio. There are indeed years where I harvest the above 10% yield, but it is not

 Market continued its uptrend from 2020, and with the Covid-19 situation stabilising, the old economy counters have started to recover as well. Overall, the local market had moved up along with the rest of the global indexes. As such, some of the sectors are not as cheap as they were during the massive correction last year.TransactionsWith the recent run up, I took profit on the following counters.KimlyDBSOCBC (Partial)ExxonSTI ETF (Partial)Some of the counters were mentioned in this post. For DBS, using 5 years average dividend of $1.09, at $25 it is fairly valued. Of course it can go higher but I am happy with my profit.The reason that I took profit is they have given me decent returns, most up to 5 years worth of dividend that I would have collected. With the sale, I can use it to

 Equity market had a good start of the year and STI has finally touched 3000.00 last Thursday! But it felt short of my expectations as I was hoping the index to breakthrough 3,000 psychological support/resistance on Thursday itself.  Hence I am expecting some pullback before it stays above 3,000.Whereas Nasdaq continued its climb to record high but ended modestly lower last Friday when Biden announced his $1.9 trillion stimulus plan and his tax proposals. Well that's the nature of stock market which the stock price reacts to every news that's going on but at least we can assured that market ups and downs won't be caused by single tweet anymore.(1) Dividend PortfolioReits and bank shares in my dividend portfolio performed well in January which were lifted up my gains in STI and Ha
