Young couple they might need alot of cash for flat and marriage.<br />2. The assumption is based on the fact that older grp of ppl have a relatively higher taxable income. <br /><br />JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944902213075756335.post-22293334092297505282010-10-28T18:24:22.630+08:002010-10-28T18:24:22.630+08:00Hi SnOOpy168,

He is the blogmaster of Investment Moats and Starhub is his largest investment. :)AK71https://www.blogger.com/profile/16832145412062954289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944902213075756335.post-56880322226489713572010-10-28T18:06:52.084+08:002010-10-28T18:06:52.084+08:00You lucky.

This was when the STI was 1700+ last year. Liquidated for a 9% gain in 6 months. Everything was done online. Quite easy. :)AK71https://www.blogger.com/profile/16832145412062954289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944902213075756335.post-69311180242120287722010-10-28T12:56:14.277+08:002010-10-28T12:56:14.277+08:00This nest eggs of ours and 'better use / retur...This nest eggs of ours and 'better use / returns" on the funds will be a challenge, given the restrictions. <br /><br />Perhaps I should wait out a BE on my UT and then cash out and let compounding take effect while I wait.<br /><br />For the readers' info : Unit Trust bought with CPF$ , must be sold via written & signed instructions at the bank.

It would be trading in a guaranteed 2.5% returns for something that could be less. Personally, I am using SRS money for investment in KGT. So, it's not too bad for me.<br /><br /><a href="http://singaporeanstocksinvestor.blogspot.com/2010/10/AK71https://www.blogger.com/profile/16832145412062954289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944902213075756335.post-57236002155765929842010-10-28T09:15:57.946+08:002010-10-28T09:15:57.946+08:00Now that you have mentioned K-Green Trust (KGT) in...Now that you have mentioned K-Green Trust (KGT) in another post and using CPF $ for better returns. <br /><br />I am exploring this option. Currently, facing some paper loss on the UT that I had been smoked into believing as good LT investment. Am toying with the idea of biting that loss and reuse the $ for something with better & higher returns. After all, I have to wait another 25 years Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
