Who else rubbing hands and looking to start some accumulation?

But, mostly blue chip drop. Small cap only affected a little bit only. ???

For new launch, you can submit your bid thru most banks in Singapore.

For existing one, you could buy from POEMS. Very few of them are listed in SGX which you could buy from stock broker.

more info eg lot size, CPF can? see here:

SGS can be bought like stocks trading on sgx, however the liquidity is poor and spread is wide
another way is go local bank and speak to their dealer, can place bids for SGS

reits everyday kanna sell down, most going back to their book value already
previously reits were trading at over 20% premium to book value

Dont think there is a crash as there doesnt seem to have any panic selling. Vol is not high. There is no indiscriminate selling of pennies as well.

If you think there is a crash, there will be no crash. if you think there is no crash, there will be a crash. Markets will only crashes when the "ball-room" is full of people who can not stop dancing. Ha! Ha!
WB:-

1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.

Truism of Investments.
A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

NB:-
My signature is meant for psychoing myself. No offence to anyone. i am trying not to lose money unnecessary anymore.

It depends on one's definition of a crash. Mine is if STI fall below 2k points. I think this one worst case is 2.7k. I seriously doubt STI will fall below 2k points in this year.

STI almost going into bear zone of 10% correction, I think now is down about 8% from its current year peak
I would say a 20% correction would be considered a crash for me ^^

for me a 30% correction would be called depression~

some reits going into -20% zone already

yeah 2.7k looks like a worst case, at such level STI will trade around PE 10, in which bargain hunters may come buying and supporting the prices
