LPPL 6th Gear February 25, 2018 Share February 25, 2018 I don't think this question has ever been asked in this forum before. I am wondering how many here have a million cash in the bank now (not CPF) with the house they are living in now (hdb or private) fully paid and with zero debt? Please note that I am not talking about those sitting on paper assets as some bros here will probably say they can liquidate this and that property to have x millions, I am talking about those debtless people with a million cash in the bank now. If you are in this category, it would be interesting to hear what do you plan to do with your cash in the next couple of years? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think many in Singapore are sitting on a lot of cash in the bank now, thinking whether to divest in property, stocks, fx etc. Edited February 25, 2018 by LPPL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showster Twincharged February 25, 2018 Share February 25, 2018 Cheng Hu has that billion dollar also tell you can only put down a deposit and borrow max... borrow max can invest more. Agree or not is a different story. Nonetheless, I do believe there are many such people in SG. Property too ex, stocks too risky, only bonds and fixed deposits or CPF deposit (using cash). Prefer the security of cash or equivalent. In olden and developing scenarios which Govt allow boom and bust (or no choice but to allow), that strategy can be very fruitful once in a while. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piyopico Supercharged February 25, 2018 Share February 25, 2018 For discussion’s sake. If you have a million cash now. 1. Buy a property of $2M and put $1M as downpayment. 2. Buy Singtel shares. Current yield about 5% based on $3.35 share price. 5 years down the road. Which option will yield better absolute returns. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With additional 1% above 1m property and also interest from 1m, its better to pay full and rent out 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average Interest rate and rental yield over the 5 years? Singhell share prices then? It's garbage in garbage out. Top many assumptions involved, making the comparison not very meaningful... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
