CIMB starsaver account

My dad was asking me again on a savings account with a higher interest rates, after looking at a full splash page of SCB advertisement on the newspaper.

I took another look at the CIMB website and was simply amazed at how easy it is to open a CIMB account, plus some goodies for Referrals :) (pm me for my IC number)

Simply print out this form and mail, together with your enclosed cheque (written in your name, so this is safe!)

Expensive Punggol Watertown Condo

Was at the pre-launch of FarEast's Watertown condo over the weekend

Though situated at the most prime space of punggol town, boasting of the MRT and punggol waterway facilities, personally i felt it was abit overpriced at $1300 psf (indicative)
ATresureTrove condo (by Sim Lian), just a stone's throw away, was going at only $1000 psf, few months ago. With the latest govt intervention on ppty prices, was expecting the big FarEast to be more realistic in pricing (well they do have holding power for their size)

Well anyway just looking for fun :P

Partial divestment of DBS pref shares

Hi friends

fyi, I have partially sold off my DBS4.7% pref share at $107.5

After some 13 months, for a reasonable good yield of 12.2% (dividend 4.7% and capital gains 7.5%)

For those who have an even lower risk tolerance (~0% risk), I am also looking into Singapore Govt bonds for 2012. Will share more when I have more knowledge :)
