In today's market, with fluctuating interest rates and economic uncertainty, it's essential to make savvy investment moves. One strategy catching the eye of many investors is seizing the opportunity to lock in high interest rates with long-term bonds and treasuries, while also considering the currency exchange risks for those buying overseas securities. Let's explore w...
I'm doubtful that we will remain in a high interest rate environment for a very long time. The fed's dot plot had shown that interest rate will drop in the long term, and now with the$SVB Financial(SIVB.US)$debacle, some are speculating that the fed will pivot sooner than later. So I'm eyeing out for safe long term high interest investment grade (preferably government backed or linked) bond to lock in the high yield no...
TLDR: Most of our portfolio got REKT, so I had been sending my US portfolio into "hibernation mode", while staying the course to use PUT options to DCA, and trading options to try and earn some extra dough. Luckily, I had learnt how to use options to reduce the pain, and it had helped a lot mentally and financially. Being a long term investors, this high interest rate environment (hopefully temporar...

thanks for sharing. I learnt something from your post about BBBY. Be Patience. In the case of selling Put, market fluctuations always drop near to the strike price, and one has to buy over the shares. I have no intention to keep the shares. So sometimes i choose "Buy to Close" the positions, just get rid of it and incur losses. Next day, the market reverses. and there you go, pulling my hair again. Paper loss is not the worst, but if you can roll the options and wait for months, and get back your money with some profits, why not?! Always remind myself, roll if possible before close.

glad this had been of help to you yea rolling option is an interesting concept as we always earn the time value... the drawback is opportunity cost and taking on continued risk of the share price dropping or company going bankrupt. but if there are no better alternatives, then rolling is not that bad.

yes, options preferably traded on good stock with sound fundamentals. For speculative stock, have to exit fast and also protect with a spread. BBBY is one example.
I'm doubtful that we will remain in a high interest rate environment for a very long time. Even the fed dot plot shows that interest rate will drop in the long term. So I'm eyeing out for safe long term high interest government backed bond to lock in the high yield now. If we look at Singapore 10 years Savings Bond (SSB) that is issued by the Singapore government we can see that the yield of the bond had increased significantly. Precovid most ...

The fed do release what they expect their interst rate to look like in their report, so from the dot plot, as of now, we can see the expectation as of Sept 2022 is that they expect interest rate to start dropping from 2024 onwards. This may change, as it is just expectation. so if they keep increasing, then I will buy more longer term bond so as to lock in the higher interest rate for many years again hehehe https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/files/fomcprojtabl20220921.pdf

More than that in my calculation. Nearly 5% now excluding the 0.5% bonus, calculate till the end of the first redemption period.
sociable Dingo_8604 :
Eye opener. Good read. But if you withdraw or redeem from the fund and then subscribe in again using coupon, wouldn’t it lessen your daily yield from cashplus? Wondering if this method works out..
doctorpot1楼主sociable Dingo_8604:
I just checked and it seems like there is no gap in the yield for withdrawing and resubscribing. so I'm getting both coupon yield and fund yield all the time
sociable Dingo_8604doctorpot1楼主:
Interesting, this method will ensure you get the coupon yield and yet no additional cash needed. Do I have to ensure my existing coupon duration end first before I attempt redemption?
doctorpot1楼主sociable Dingo_8604:
I usually wait for this line to disappear before redeeming and resubscribing again using another coupon. I try my best to maximise the coupon as there are max amount the yield can be applied to. Usually 5k is the max but some can go as high as 20k
Today marks the 3rd month-niversary of leaving a toxic job environment. Leaving without another job lined up, yet it was without hesitation or stress. Leaving was therapeutic instead. So today is the 3rd month of being "unemployed". The 3rd month of not seeing a regular paycheck hitting my bank account. The milestones in your life Thankfully, I have my side hustles, dividend and options premiums to ...
Astrea 7 bonds are open for application. It is the fifth instalment of the Astrea private equity bond series. Usually retail investors don't get to participate in private equity (PE), only the accredited investors do. This is because not every investor can stomach the risks associated with PE. The clever way was to wrap the PE investments into a bond and offer to the retail investors. They can a piece of the PE action but have the assurance and certainty of a bond str...

There is an old folklore in Singapore that you can easily make money by buying IPO via ATM machine. So to test that saying I started crunching the numbers. After crunching the numbers on SG IPO over 2018 to 2020 (comparing IPO price and first day closing price), there are 26 winners and 10 losers. if we just buy all IPO (do note that we might not get it if it is oversubscribed) and then sell it at closing, the average returns was 2.56%. ...
toomanyscammers :
usually after one successful project by an up and coming tech co, they tend to still enjoy good market impressions subsequently, I feel. Esp in this era where tech is rising, more eyes will be on them I feel and more opportunities may knock on their door, be it from govt projects etc. thus, I do feel they may have potential but I haven't read up on them yet too or checked out this IPO enough - heard about it on the day it was released. so due to the lack of knowledge, not going for the IPO yet. anyways, too late alrdy. but also, I noticed that prices tend to rise then drop after the IPO, based on some past two to three IPOs. so I am thinking this will drop below IPO price soon too xD which I think it alrdy has :) just whether it's a good long-term investment - that's the one I need to ensure first too
doctorpot1楼主toomanyscammers:
yea, my biggest worry for this ticker is that once trace together is phased out and their business goes back to normal then the PE is >200. Too crazy already. hahahha watching but not buying
toomanyscammersdoctorpot1楼主:
Haha I need to read up more on them first, to see what other opportunities or skill sets they have besides the tracetogether project. If they can expand their product line or services from there, maybe will have good potential. Maybe like an sg crowstrike? Hahah
High Profit Low Loss :
I usually do not like to subscribe to IPO. I like businesses that are in the market for more than 5 years and above. This allows me to look into records. Moreover as you said trace-together is a one off thing. Subsequently their business has to be sustained by other means. So absolutely agreed with you on this crucial point.
doctorpot1楼主High Profit Low Loss:
I like to look at IPO companies because they usually debut below fair value. This is because they want to sell all of their shares offered so usually that mean giving discount on the price. If they set too high the IPO will flop and they won't get enough cash to fund their needs, plus the underwriters won't get the full fees. so usually the underwriters will price it at a discount to ensure the IPO will be oversubscribed and they earn the sweet sweet profit.
