      $SEMBCORP INDUSTRIES LTD(U96.SI)$  Added another 3500 Sembcorp shares to my portfolio in view of its bullish growth (>500%) from Yr 2020 to date. Trust that the company will continue its strong growth and expansion under the excellent leadership of CEO Mr Wong. The recent JV with India company (BPCL) to explore green renewable projects in India is a great step indeed, into the huge potential India market. Also understand that there is proposed doubling of stake in local Senoko generation company which will increase its generation business in Singapore even more. That should be a great step as well in view of increasing electricity demand in Singapore due to more incoming investments such as data centres, se

      $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$   Share price performance is really very poor despite the good results announced. Don't know what's going on with this TSM indeed. Sentiment seems to be very lousy. Could be due to this Trump's tariff issue which is still uncertain in a way. Investors confidence and US market might be largely affected in the long run if Trump still goes on with his tariff implemention. Sad indeed. Recallee TSM was doing fine prior to Trump era.

      This is good news for SGX indeed. In view of the increased trading volume, it will be beneficial for SGX in terms of revenue as well as intangible benefits such as attracting more investors and enhanced reputation as a trading exchange. Hope that SGX will continue to attract more listings into the main board and catalist board progressively. Understand the recent one is Vin's Holdings. That is a good start indeed after the government incentives are implemented. Cheers SGX. [Smile]  Go go go.

      Understand there is no regular dividend from gold ETF etc. Hence, it may not be suitable for long term investment in comparison to equities like bank counters. Gold price is increasing currently due to so called  safe haven during market turbulence times. It may drop back to below 3000 once Trump's storm is calm. Might not seems feasible to borrow money to buy gold in view of borrowing interest rate, etc. However, no harm buying some gold ETF at this stage to take advantage of the tailwind now. Say about 10% of your investment portfolio. Cheers. Have a good day ahead. [Smile]

      This is good news indeed for SGX. A higher Trading Volume is corresponding to increased revenue in terms of fees. Hope that the trading volume will maintain for the longer term in addition to the derivative product business. That is also crucial for exchange business in consideration of hedging activities during period of volatility. Cheers SGX ! [Smile]  [Smile]  

      Singapore Exchange Stands to Gain From Heavier Trading Volume

OCBC raises the stock's fair value estimate to S$14.09 from S$13.68 to reflect a rolling forward of valuations while maintaining the buy rating. Shares are 1.8% higher at S$12.78.

      Good news indeed for SGX. Understand that its revenue (40%) from derivative products is quite significant in comparison to other exchanges like Hong Kong Exchange, etc. It is practical and viable to diversify stock exchange businesses to achieve optimum revenue. This is proven by the surge in derivative volume this week in view of the global selloff issue (BT news: 11Apr). Hope management will continue to innovate SGX businesses in moving forward. Hence generating increase interest from retail/institution investors on SGX shares for the longer term investment. [Smile]
