This week, $YZJ Shipbldg SGD(BS6.SI)$ saw major stock volatility after its earnings release: it plunged yesterday and rebounded 2.76% today. So far this year, YTD gains are 18%, and last year it surged an incredible 116%! 💥

YZJ recorded $2.17 billion in orders in the first 9 months, four times its first-half total, bringing the total order book to $22.83 billion. However, its dividend yield among SG stocks isn’t very high, at around 3%.

Many think US stocks offer higher gains, but some SG stocks are also shining: For example, $PropNex(OYY.SI)$ has risen 150% YTD, with a dividend yield of about 4%!

As some investors say: “Compounding is the eighth wonder of the world.”

Buffett once said: “If you’re not willing to own a stock for 10 years, don’t even think about owning it for 10 minutes.” This isn’t just a mindset—it’s a strategy to let a company’s value be recognized by the market over time.

Think about it: dividends + holding for the long term—could this be a slow magic for building wealth? ✨ Plus, SG stocks have tax-free dividends—corporate profits are already taxed, and individuals receive dividends completely tax-free, another small advantage for long-term investors.

So, what’s the longest-held Singapore stock in your portfolio?

How long have you held it? Is it for dividends, growth, or both?

Do you plan to hold stocks for 10 years or longer?

    🌟🌟🌟There are investments & there are cornerstones.  For me that cornerstone has always been $DBS(D05.SI)$ . It is more than just a stock. DBS is synonymous with the success of Singapore as a global financial powerhouse!

    Founded to support Singapore's industrialisation , DBS has grown alongside the nation's economic progress & is seen by many as reflecting Singapore's financial growth.

    As my oldest holding, DBS is a testament to the power of long term belief and that conviction is paying off in a huge way.

    I am so happy that DBS has rewarded me well, not only with capital growth but with great dividends and even bonus shares too.

    I am up a massive 131% on my DBS investment , a return that speaks volumes about DBS's phenomenal growth & Singapore's strength as a global financial hub.

    As Charlie Munger likes to say The Big Money is not in the buying & selling but in the waiting.

    Go Long Go Strong Go DBS

    I hold a position in Yangzijiang Shipbuilding $YZJ Shipbldg SGD(BS6.SI)$ , so this week’s volatility definitely stood out. Despite the post-earnings drop, the rebound and solid YTD performance remind me why I’m comfortable holding it. The order book is strong, and even though the dividend yield isn’t high, I still see it as a steady long-term play.

    Singapore stocks give me a good mix of stability and tax-free dividends, which really help compounding. I hold a few SG names for both growth and income, and my longest-held one has been in my portfolio for several years. I don’t trade these often—I mainly let the dividends and business growth do the work.

    I’m also open to holding quality stocks for 10 years or longer as long as fundamentals stay solid. Compounding needs time, and combining dividends with patient holding remains one of my favorite ways to build wealth.

    The longest-held Singapore stock one can have is $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$. Is was incorporated during the Great Depression on 31 October 1932. It was a merger of 3 Hokkien banks dating back to 1912. During those years we held the share certificates of the bank to prove our ownership. OCBC has acquired more banks and grown steadily over the century, surviving the Second World War. This is a resilient and solid bank as good as gold. We keep it for the reliable twice-yearly dividend income. Even if one only started investing in OCBC 10 years ago, the total dividends collected and the growth in share price would amount to 119% gain over the initial cost. That translates into a compound annual growth rate of 8.2% over 10 years, well beating the long-term inflation rate. Thanks @Tiger_SG @TigerStars @icycrystal @1PC

    🌟🌟🌟 $YZJ Shipbldg SGD(BS6.SI)$ holds a special place in my heart as it has rewarded me three fold through its 2 spin offs  in addition to capital growth and dividends .

    As China's largest and most efficient private shipbuilder , YZJ isn't just about building ships .  It is also about building wealth.

    What makes YZJ special is its exceptional efficiency and cost control.  YZJ operates with an owner oriented mindset from top to bottom , which fosters  high productivity and lower operating costs .  This superior operational efficiency translates into consistently higher profit margins , with recent gross margins reaching a record 35%.

    The creation and spinoffs of YZJ Financial and YZJ Maritime are smart capital allocation strategies .  It allows each business unit to grow with a focused independent management team.

    I have held YZJ since 2022 & simply let the magic of compounding happen over time.

    I bought DBS during the COVID period around the $15-20+ range. Held it till now and the capital gains and dividend return (around 15+% yield on cost) is phenomenal. Will continue holding it for the long term as there is hardly much chance to get it at these prices. However, may sell some for rebalancing purpose in the future.
