It was a STI component stock., a blue chip. Must be safe.
It was a duopoly. The business must be good.
The dividend must be secured, around 4%. Nice.
It was majority-owned by Temasek. Could sleep well.

The lesson to be learnt is that 4% yield is NOT nice enough. To be on safer ground, the dividend yield must be 7% or more.

safe and secure, wont get consistent 7% in normal times.

Cyclone thanks for sharing. Yes smrt looked safe but wasn't that cheap. Blue chip status also can be over like Noble if the industry tanks.
Soros I am also a 6.5 to 7% kind of investor. Though I am flexible for 6%+ in select cases.
Opmi, agreed that's why I am waiting sti below 2000 to wack some st engineering @7% yield lol...
