Should I see DBS shares now?

  I bought DBS at $11 last year in 2009, now the price is $15.30 based on friday trading. DBS is also giving out dividends. I am thinking like after getting dividend, and if DBS rose to $15.50, can sell and cash in the shares.

  or should I wait for DBS to rise to $16 or even $17 then sell? I am wondering if DBS can rise to $20 in the next 1-2 years?

  sell liao lor before prices drop after dividend paid out.

  when Dow drop again big time, you can buy again.

  ya now with the greece debt and EURO thingy going on, is thinking of selling to cash in. even if it dropped, wont dropped till so steep like $13. even if it does, still expensive to buy at $13. maybe can buy OCBC shares like now like 8 plus dollars.

  DBS is not a cheap share to buy even if it dropped to $13 from $15.30. if u buy 2 lot, its 13k * 2 lot = 26k

  26k can be someone else one year salary or even more liao.

  oh those u own one eh? I read the banks give good dividends.

  monday gains offset by the losses on tuesday knn. looks like the rescue package does not paper over the fundamentals of these indebted countries. looks like its lehman brothers rewind.

  From the look of the Candlestick Bar charts above, seems quite certain that the recent bear trend has broken the Fibonacci Retracement levels (even 61.8%)'.  Almost all moving averages have turned down... the indicators are currently doing an adjustment... Have you have your safety belt on ?

  i haven't been loading for quite a long time... accumulating cash for more divvy stocks later.

  But I'm not selling my current holdings as I buy them for dividends, and embarking on my personal dividend reinvestment strategy.

  If successful, this is what I can expect of myself:

  Why not possible leh?

  This is just in theory. In practical, I'm doing other things as well, and I think could go faster than that by end of 10 years?
