In the post-Brexit rise of the Singapore stock market, which I feel is kind of unwarranted and likely driven by short term investors rather than any true value, I've taken profits off the table for Singtel and Frasers Centrepoint Trust.
I've written a post for my decision with regards to FCT (read here). Singtel on the other hand, was sold for other reasons. Of course, the valuation was getting a bit richer than I was comfortable with, however I'm still positive in its short term outlook, being likely to rise with fearful investors flooding the market. No, the main reason why I sold it was because I wouldn't buy in at its current price, and with the minimum trading commission from Standard Chartered kicking in soon, might as well take some profits (~$50). Also, the mid to long term outlook for Singtel is highly dependent on its overseas subsidiaries, which bears a bit more looking at.
While I've exited my position, I'll be keeping Singtel on my watchlist, and will be ready to pounce on any price weakness, likely to be below $3.80.
