It was a STI component stock., a blue chip. Must be safe.
It was a duopoly. The business must be good.
The dividend must be secured, around 4%. Nice.
It was majority-owned by Temasek. Could sleep well.

The lesson to be learnt is that 4% yield is NOT nice enough. To be on safer ground, the dividend yield must be 7% or more.

Cyclone thanks for sharing. Yes smrt looked safe but wasn't that cheap. Blue chip status also can be over like Noble if the industry tanks.

Soros I am also a 6.5 to 7% kind of investor. Though I am flexible for 6%+ in select cases.

Opmi, agreed that's why I am waiting sti below 2000 to wack some st engineering @7% yield lol...

The 2nd and 3rd reasons were pretty much the same reasons why i bought it previously. The retail biz empire that was created by Madam Saw was just too seductive for me to watch during the daily travel. It had a tailwind from the Gov's liberal immigration policies until the pumping spill into the maintenance problem that eventually burst the bubble.

The only slight difference was that i have learnt and managed to cut losses earlier.
