Hi............. ..... ..... ..... ..... .....

A new year comes with new hopes Stocks to watch in 2023 would be stocks which are closer to home, stocks like staples and travel-related stocks But not to over-invest as recession has been anticipated to be coming soon, which could see US and Europe getting very heavily affected Could see a small rebound in the short term before it starts going down again Asian stocks such as Hong Kong or even SG should be relatively safer compared to stocks in US or European markets Best stocks to hold at this stage would be banks as they benefit most from the interest rate hikes If in doubt of what to invest or simply want to hold back and see how this recession fears might turn out, another great investing idea would be the 6-month Singapore Treasury Bills It provide very high short term returns, which

Why I started trading is due to boredom and to make my friend happy after I accepted the invitation to join Tiger.I initially thought the free Apple share was a joke as it felt unbelievable that Tiger would give such an expensive share just for signing up.I bought another Apple shares when it went down to 150+ and recently sold both Apple shares and made my first trade profit when it went close to 180.I bought back 1 Apple share when it went down to 171. I plan to buy when it drops and sell when it goes up.I'm thinking of playing around more before actually investing more into the market.

Manulife US REIT (UOB KayHian Research) Lower overall occupancy 2Q22 overall portfolio occupancy fell 1.7ppt qoq to 90.0%, driven by non-renewals and downsizing in existing properties (Figeuroa, Exchange, Penn and Capitol). Large tenants have been re-evaluating their office spaces amidst growing adoption for hybrid working arrangements.

To backfill these vacancies, MUST has been in negotiation with prospective tenants to take over these vacated spaces, which we reckon may take time. Hotelisation of its assets To ensure its properties remain competitive and command premium rents, MUST has

This implies recurring revenue from corporate companies that will last for many years. That's because it'll be troublesome or even costly to keep training their staff to use new systems if the companies keep changing their systems such as accounting systems.

Such as automatically linking to the bank to download daily bank statements and the system also tries to suggest matching entries and t

$Apple(AAPL)$  Market seems to have turned bullish. Hope that the worse is really over by now. I would love to see my portfolio finally turn green. It seems like permanently red shortly after I started investing in the US market. Would be good to see something different. Apple is the only US stock I'm holding now, so I'll be rooting for Apple to be bullish in this coming week. Hopefully the economy will start picking up and we won't go into a recession.
