Can Genting Singapore go Lower?

Previously we posted 

Why Genting Singapore is Dropping?

Genting Singapore comparing with the other casino in the world, in 2013 where most of the casino is on a bull run, Genting Singapore is already on a sideway, in 2014 global casinos went into a downtrending bearish trend, almost all of them start falling at the same time in the beginning of 2014, and remain down for the whole year. The question now is whether Genting Sing still got room to drop?

We notice that recently alot of Casino stock start to make new low again, though Genting is still holding its level above the previous low, we see that if the weakness continue in the Casino sector globally, Genting Singapore will most likely to follow the same pattern. Making a new low. Our system show if price fall below 1.055, it may resume downtrend until next bullish signal appear.

Above: MGM resorts holding at the support

Above: Las Vegas Sands LVS made new low

Above: Galaxy Entertainment(HKEX) holding at support

Above: Wynn Resorts(WYNN) Made new low

Mid Cap Property Wing Tai & Ho Bee

Last friday we did a scan on stock that give us a first orange candle in our SuperTrend system, WingTai came out as one of the result, this show that Wingtai is going on a Downtrend again. Though it is nothing new that this stock is going on a downtrend, but we see if STI is current still at 3200-3350 region and this stock is already at its low(Weak stock). Most likely this stock is going to fall further if STI is going down(weaker market)

On the other hand, we see the other similar company Ho Bee Land, previously Ho Bee trend up from 1.00 all the way up to 2.40, follow by a downtrend for 6month, currently it is at the 1.90 support, a further downside is expected if price break the critical support at 1.90

Contribute to SRS scheme before 31 Dec to enjoy tax benefits and invest your SRS saving!

Contribute to SRS scheme before 31 Dec to enjoy tax benefits and invest your SRS saving!

Did you know that you could enjoy some tax advantages in this process? This article takes you through what the Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) is about, and the tax benefits available if you choose to save for your retirement via this scheme.

What is the SRS?
It is a voluntary savings scheme introduced by the Government to encourage individuals like you to save more for retirement, above what you contribute to the Central Provident Fund (CPF).

Keys Benefits of participating in the SRS

·         Both you and your employer can contribute to your SRS account.

·         Contributions to SRS are eligible for tax relief if you are assessed as a tax resident.

·         You can invest the funds in your SRS account.

·         Investment gains are tax-free before withdrawal.

·         Only 50% of the withdrawals from SRS are taxable at retirement.

Is the SRS suitable for me?

The SRS is intended to help you save for your retirement. If you choose to withdraw your savings earlier than the statutory retirement age, you will have to pay tax on the full withdrawal and a penalty of 5%. Therefore, when considering whether to participate in the SRS, you should review your financial circumstances to ensure that you do not need to draw on your SRS savings until you reach the statutory retirement age.

How much tax savings can I have?

How do I participate in the SRS?

You can open an SRS account in person at any branch of the Government-appointed SRS operators, as long as you are at least 18 years of age and not an un-discharged bankrupt or of unsound mind. Currently, the three SRS operators are DBS, OCBC and UOB. 

What can I invest my SRS savings in?

The SRS savings in your account can be invested in a variety of financial products, including those offered by financial institutions (product providers) other than your SRS operator. You should note however that the SRS scheme does not guarantee any specific rate of return on your investments. Your actual returns will depend entirely on the investment choices you make. Direct property investments are not allowed and certain life insurance products are subject to restrictions.

Example

Suppose you start contributing when you are 30 years old and save up to the contribution limit of $12,750 each year until you turn 62.

If you achieve a 5% annual rate of return through your investment choices, your savings could grow to $860,000 in your SRS account by the time you turn 62. However, if the performance of your investment is not favourable, you may incur losses.

In comparison, if you had kept your money in a savings account that offers an interest rate of 0.5% per annum, you would have accumulated about $400,000.

When to contribute

You and your employer may contribute to SRS at any time of the year and as often as you wish, subject to the maximum SRS contribution for the year. To be eligible for the tax relief, all contributions whether in cash or by cheque deposits must be made or cleared by 31 Dec of the year, or as specified by your SRS operator.

The maximum SRS contribution for a Singaporean/Singapore permanent resident and foreigner are $12,750 and $29,750 respectively in the year 2013.

Resource: Moneysense & iras.gov.sg

Things you need to do before 31 Dec 2014

Step 1: Check your eligibility

Step 2: Open an SRS account with any local banks DBS, OCBC, or UOB

Step 3: Deposit funds into your SRS account before 31 Dec 2014 to enjoy tax benefits for year 2014

Step 4: Link your SRS account with your POEMS trading account 

Step 5: Invest your SRS saving in Dividend stocks or ETFs via POEMS trading account

Fundamentals & Technicals of Dividend Stocks !

Do you work for money or let your money work for you? Investing in dividend stocks is one of the best ways to achieve passive income. Many people buy stocks for dividend returns as it is higher than the bank interest rates. However, investors often buy dividend stocks at the wrong price with very little dividend returns. As a result, there are more risks of a price drop as compared to the dividend payout.

To get a higher return from both the capital gain and dividend payout, investors have to purchase a fundamentally sound stock at the right timing. In this workshop, you will learn the methods to analyse the financials of dividend stocks. We will also demonstrate a simple technical method which can be used to time your dividend stocks purchases.

Learning Points

• Build a portfolio of dividend stocks to generate passive income
• How to find stocks with good dividend yield
• Analysis of dividend stocks with ShareInvestor WebPro
• How the technical charts can help you time your dividend stocks purchases
• Proprietary technical method of catching stocks at the bottom

SGX delays start of stock market trading till 12.30pm (3 Dec 2014)

The bourse said early Wednesday morning that it will delay the start of stock market trading till 12.30pm (3 Dec 2014) to allow firms to complete reconciliation of client positions.

SINGAPORE: The Singapore Exchange (SGX) will delay the start of stock market trading till 12.30pm on Wednesday (Dec 3) to allow firms to complete reconciliation of client positions – the second major disruption in the space of one month.

SGX said the delayed opening is to "enable member firms to complete client position reconciliations, and rectify any errors in the end-of-day processing for Dec 1 on the securities client-accounting system hosted by SGX on behalf of member firms".

It added that the pre-open routine will begin at noon and that the stock market will remain open till 5pm and close as per normal. The problem was caused by a software defect which has since been rectified.

The latest trading disruption follows an incident on Nov 5 when a power supply fluctuation caused trading in stocks and derivatives to be halted for more than two hours. SGX has sent an interim investigation report about the disruption to the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) but that report has not yet been made public.

According to SGX data, trading on Dec 1 was slightly higher than normal with 1.7 billion shares worth S$1.27 billion changing hands. On that day, oil-related stocks took a beating as oil prices plunged, with rig builders Keppel Corp and Sembcorp Marine losing about 5 per cent, and several smaller counters suffering drops in excess of 10 per cent.

SGX said there is no impact to investors' CDP holdings, or SGX trading, clearing and settlement capabilities. It added that customers may seek clarification on their positions with member firms.

Members of the public can check www.sgx.com for regular updates or contact SGX at their hotline at 6535-7511 or email asksgx@sgx.com.

Previously we talked about Why Genting is Dropping, one of the reason is due to the Global sector of Gaming, fund managers are dumping Gaming stocks globally. Our Genting Singapore is one of the weakest stock during the Gaming stock bull run in 2012-2013( Compare to LVS, WYNN, Galaxy Entertainment) and this time round where the all the Gaming stock is dropping, Genting Singapore just follow.

Read more on my previous post:

http://www.andy-yew.com/2014/09/why-genting-singapore-is-dropping.html

So now it is bullish already?

Base on our Trend follow system, Green candle represent Bullish, Orange represent Bearish, the purple line represent the Resistance. Currently Genting Sing resistance is at $1.12, meaning if the price can close at/above $1.12 the system will give a Bullish Signal.

If you have traded Long from Green to Orange only using the system since 2013, your return will be around 11% in 3 Long trades

If you have traded both Long and Short for this counter using our system since 2013, your return will be around 35% in 6 long and short trades

If you buy in 2013 at 1.30 and hold till 1.12, your return will be around -14%

This is Why and How we use our system. You don't need to predict where the price is going, just follow the trend using our system!
