Starhub @ $3.80

Sell @ $3.80

Contra off… David sent a link to TheEdge article where DBSVickers is projecting that there'll be no 4th TELCO and have raised target price of M1 to $3.30…

Take profit first as I'm expecting govt to ensure there'll be a 4th TELCO for political reasons… Am keeping M1 for the time being as it's still in the red (even after Div collected) and next results will be mid-year, likely maintaining Div = 7ct (last year)… 😀

Starhub @ $3.74

Buy @ $3.74

Buy back some as -6ct and -12ct from my last sell… STI -5.89 @ 2864.67, finally -ve after 5-days of +ve and +140pts…

Starhub @ $3.86

Sell @ $3.86

Jump-Q during 8:58am matching… Cleared those which are close to BE after one year Div = 20ct…

Quite a number of stocks were highly +ve during matching… May be panic "short-covering" as Brexit is becoming a non-event with STI having recovered from the big drop after the referendum… or Quarter-end windowing dressing… ??

Starhub @ $3.75

Sell @ $3.75

Another batch on the edge of BE with one year of Div = 20ct collected… I'm left with the >$4 ones… With 4th TELCO tender anytime soon from Q3, my exposure to TELCOs via Starhub + M1 is making me feel uncomfortable… 😀

Starhub @ $3.74

Sell @ $3.74

Big loss…. but after collecting a year of Div = 20ct, can recognise a profit for 2 batches bought previously at $3.84 & $3.92… Still have more loss-making ones at higher prices… 😀

+16ct today, with STI +26.68 @ 2756.53… After early AM -ve, BREXIT fears disappeared… Am expecting mkt to continue to be volatile and will sell into any strength…

Starhub @ $3.3367

Sell @ $3.32, $3.34, $3.35

Contra off and sold the last two profitable ones which were bought for the Double-xd play… Unfortunately, STi was -ve for 10 straight sessions… 2nd xd on 11-May, decided not to hold for longer term as M1 Yield is now better… Didn't expect the sudden demand after I Q'd so long to sell…   Range $3.31 – $3.38… 😀

 

Sell @ $3.38

Jump-Q at 5pm matching… a different account and taking losses… Try out a "short" or "switch" (to M1) play… I'll be very tempted to "short" more tomorrow (last day of cd) at $3.38 or higher….

Starhub @ $3.30

Buy @ $3.30

Originally Q’d to sell $3.34 but too late… Hit a high of $3.35 and dropped back very quickly… 😀

From the Table below, Debts had been fairly constant but Cash had been declining due to Div > FCF for the past 3 years… For FY16, Q1 FCF > Div, but need to continue to monitor closely as it’ll determine if Div = 5ct / Q can be maintained… especially since competition will become more intense with the 4th TELCO… or even 5th ….

Starhub @ $3.345

Buy @ $3.35, $3.34

Selling continues today in the afternoon on the last day of cd…  Range $3.33 – $3.38… If it drops more than 5ct tomorrow (xd), I'll likely buy more, to stock up for next xd in May… 😀

Starhub @ $3.40

Sell @ $3.40

My last profitable lots… 😀

 

Buy @ $3.35

So nice of the big seller to sell down to this price! Sometimes I wonder if there's a tax benefit for Funds / Institutions to sell before xd ie Is there a Difference in Tax treatment for Dividends vs Capital Gains?

Starhub @ $3.38

Sell @ $3.38

Changed my mind to hold till just before the 2nd xd… STI was weak today due to the failure of the DOHA meeting to cap oil output… However, Starhub stayed strong… Range $3.36 – $3.40… 😀
