The weekly 4 Stocks This Week column on DollarsAndSense was started in 2017 with a simple objective was simple: to provide a convenient read each week for busy investors to stay updated with what is happening on the Singapore Exchange. 4 Stock This Week is not a recommendation from us to buy or sell any of the stocks that wke feature. Its purpose is to highlight interesting stocks that investors should be aware of, rather than to analyse these stocks.

Over the past year (51 weeks), we’ve covered 123 SGX-listed stocks, 4 ETFs and 8 Daily Leverage Certificates. The most covered stock was Sas

This week, besides Food Empire which caught my attention (click HERE), Yangzijiang (“YZJ”) also caught my attention for being a laggard. It has given up all the gains since its large 7% jump on 5 Nov 2019. Notwithstanding the recent mild profit taking, it seems to be holding up well above its uptrend line.

This week, the Securities Investors Association (Singapore), or SIAS, celebrates its 20th anniversary with a series of commemorative events. In 1999, the group that now came to be known as SIAS was the voice that campaigned for the interests of more than 170,000 retail investors in Singapore who invested in stocks on the Malaysian-run Clob (an over-the-counter trading platform) and were left stranded after Malaysian authorities suddenly banned trading and implemented capital controls. Today, SIAS continues to serve retail investors in three main areas: investor education, championing investors’ rights (working things out with management in the boardroom, and not the courtroom) and encouraging good corporate governance among listed companies. To recognise excellence in these three areas,

The group’s products include instant beverage products, frozen convenience food and snack food.
