The Million-Dollar HDB Lie (What the 2026 Data Really Shows) |🦖EP1367 #investingiguana
(If the video is not showing, please use this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w40CbJk78Uc) 🟩 Are you treating your HDB flat like a sanctuary or a sinking ship? For many Singaporeans in their 50s, the home is their single largest asset, yet it’s often a "dead" investment—rich on paper but providing zero cash flow. As we head into 2026, the market is flashing warning signs: transaction volumes are cooling, lease decay is accelerating for older flats, and a massive supply of MOP units is about to flood the market. If you’re sitting on a million-dollar flat but have an empty bank account, you might be piloting a luxury liner that’s slowly running out of fuel. In this deep dive, we unpack the hard numbers behind the 2026 HDB market shift and what the "MOP Surge" means for your property’s
The "Boring" Bank That Pays 6.1% Yield (Safe Cash) (7 Jan SGX Stock News) |🦖EP1366 #investingiguana
(https://youtu.be/yYnuHQnge70) 🟩 The Straits Times Index just smashed through a historic ceiling to close at 4,732, but whenever charts go vertical, prudent investors have to ask: is this the start of a super-cycle or a classic bull trap? We are witnessing a level of euphoria driven almost exclusively by the banks, leaving many skeptics wondering if they have missed the boat or if the music is finally about to stop for this blue-chip rally. In this analysis, we dissect the math behind DBS Bank’s massive new payout structure to determine if a 6.1% forward yield is sustainable as their fixed-rate hedges roll off in 2026. We also uncover a massive valuation disconnect in Stoneweg Europe Stapled Trust, where private buyers are paying premiums while the public market prices it like a distressed
Stop Buying The Wrong Bank (6 Jan SGX Stock News) 🦖
🟩 The Straits Times Index (STI) has just smashed through 4,728 points, hitting staggering all-time highs, yet many investors are looking at their portfolios and wondering why they aren't seeing the same green returns. We are witnessing a historic bull run fueled by AI optimism and robust GDP growth, but a rising tide does not lift all boats equally. The critical danger right now is holding "value traps" while the rest of the market rallies, leaving you with underperforming assets during a rare window of opportunity. In this video, I break down exactly what this record-breaking momentum means for your money. We analyze the massive turnaround story for Digital Core REIT (DCRU) and why the "Ghost Facility" risk is finally dead. I also address the heated debate in our community regarding the B
Operation Starfall: Why the US Capture of Maduro Changes Your 2026 Portfolio |🦖EP1359 #investingiguana
🟩 The removal of Nicolás Maduro has sent shockwaves through the market, with retail investors rushing to buy into the "Venezuela Rebuild" narrative. Everyone is expecting a massive boom for offshore marine stocks like Seatrium, betting on billions in infrastructure spending. But if you are following the headlines, you might be walking straight into a trap. The institutional data suggests the real story isn't about an infrastructure boom—it is about a supply glut that could crush energy prices in 2026. In this deep dive, we strip away the political noise and focus on the "plumbing" of the market. While the herd chases the crowded trade in shipyards, the "Smart Money" is quietly rotating into a hidden winner in the transportation sector that benefits specifically from the coming oil price cr
DBS vs OCBC: Why 2.0x Book Value is a Risk (SGX Stock Check 2 Jan 2026) |🦖EP1355 #investingiguana
🟩 The Singapore market currently looks deceptive—while the Straits Times Index appears flat and peaceful, tectonic shifts are happening beneath the surface that could catch unsuspecting investors off guard. The "easy money" era of rising interest rates lifting all banking stocks is officially over, and we have entered the "NIM Squeeze" phase. If you are a retiree relying on bank dividends or holding onto REITs without understanding the new financing realities, you might be exposed to significant downside risk just as the market dynamics decouple. In this video, we tear apart the numbers behind the "Banking Divide," analyzing why DBS's record run might be flashing a rare valuation red flag compared to the hidden value proposition seen in OCBC. We also dive deep into Keppel REIT’s controvers
The “Iggy Paradox”: Why I Said “Hoard Cash” and “Buy Stocks” on the Same Day | 🦖EP1354
🟩 Are you confused when market analysts say "cash is king" one day, then recommend buying stocks the next? If you've ever felt whiplash from seemingly contradictory investment advice—bearish on Monday, bullish on Wednesday—you're not alone. Many Singapore investors struggle to understand why the same expert can hold two opposing views simultaneously, and it's costing them money because they're using the wrong tool for their specific financial goal. In this deep-dive analysis, Iggy breaks down the three critical scenarios where investment advice appears contradictory but is actually strategically consistent: The Forest versus The Tree (macro vs. micro analysis), The Retiree versus The Hustler (income vs. growth objectives), and The Chart versus The Business (trading vs. investing timelines)
