Anyone familiar with buying Singapore Government Bonds?

[Lala81]

 

maybe try something different this time?

 

like getting off the roller coaster first to take a rest?

 

 

Problem is you don't know when to get back on.

By the time u get back on, u may already at the top waiting for another fall.

jokes aside, with potential retrenchment looming (at least for me)

 

maybe temporarily getting off the roller coaster is worth considering and re-enter when the next big growth can be identified

 

60% to 70% drop in value may just kill me this time

definitely. My friends are all on the sidelines.

But from my observation, i know most of them won't get back into the game until it's too late.

 

That's why i just do something like dollar cost averaging every few months.

1st time SSB over subscribed  Huat ah!

Siao ah, like we dont give them enough through our CPF.

Still want to lend them money os cheaply through SSB?

 

Only very very very very rich people who got nothing better to do with their money and can full cash every damn thing including islands and mega conplexes should buy SSBs.

saw this in seedly.
Better returns than Singapore saving bonds

 

is PARF by LTA guaranteed? it does not drop, right? so LTA's PARF is considered safe as an asset?

I can think the counterparty risks by the offering company, but LTA's PARF shld be relatively risk free right?

Provided the car is under ur name .... 

U also have to factor in cost from this company that it wan to earn ... and dealer also wan to earn.  

And generally works for car with little lifespan. 

Dealer can earn only if they rent out the car.

yeah, from what i read in the article, the company is issuing the loan to the scrap car dealer, which is already at profit

1) interests is taken from the car dealer first

2) capital is paid back 100% via the PARF value

so it seems that the only risk now is if LTA drops PARF? as far as i remember, thats not possible right?

the 2nd risk shld be the company counterpart risk, but other than that, it seems ok right?

5% not a lot, but its way better than current bond siah.
