Tks for posting the property link .:)  That website Property Guru, one property appears in many pages and i wonder why they never update their website?

 

RE: my dream retirement property -

If the apartment comes with  valet parking, breakfast prepared.....I know of someone staying in States and the condo has this excellent service...but, the maintenance is like US$1000 plus.   phew......

Actually, singapore's peroperty is still considered 'not so expensive' compared to japan, Us and korea, their psf is already $1000/2000  plus minimum .  In s'pore, 2000 plus psf is already considered  super-ex like those in town areas.

Negative asset is based on current asset, net asset (non current) is still positive as you have indicated. That is probably why humblepie pointed out to consider the long term cash flow. Depending on how you see it, the rationale of having negative asset (attribute mainly by its loan) but yet still distributing 10% dividends with long term loan decreasing year over year, could simply indicate it is better off to bear the low interest debt and maintain a high yield return to shareholders.

Some people might not like this combination, as it might indicate company is taking the stand that shareholder is better off investing the 10% payout themselves as compared to Starhub reinvesting into the business for future growth.

If starhub can maintain its cashflow for the next few quarters, with some organic revenue growth, then it should be strong indication that it has achieve a good mix of cash return and growth that should propel the stock back to $3 region. The future competitions with SingTel and M1 is something that put some investor away, .

Those who have many hobbies and interests during their younger days before retirement are the ones who will find life interesting when they reach their retirement age and stop working.

Whereas those who simply hangs around with friends will surely find life unbearable...

The moral? Cultivate as many interests as possible while young.


hehehe... Smiley
