Does Digital Core Reit Deserve to Trade at Double the Yield of Keppel DC REIT?

Sea Ltd (NYSE: SE) – Turning a Profit on All 3 Segments + Revised Valuation
Sea Ltd (NYSE: SE) announced Q4 FY22 and Full-Year results last evening which came in favourably on the eye of the beholder. I have written a few pieces of articles in the past relating to SEA, my last piece was back in May last year for its Q1 FY22 when sentiment was really poor at…
Elite Commercial REIT – Is 9% Yield Good Enough for Investors?
Elite Commercial Reit (SGX: MXNU) debuted its IPO at £0.68 back in February 2020 right before Covid struck. If you had held this REIT from IPO right until now, you would probably just sit slightly underwater as it has given out £0.15 from dividends so far. Not too bad if you ask me given how…

There was a time last year when one bad news after another just kept getting into Chinese stocks – in particular Alibaba and the media could not stop heaping onto it.

This IoT Company Is Quietly Running In 2022 – Impinj Inc. (Nasdaq: PI)
Year 2022 will be remembered as the year that many tech companies and stocks crash down. A brew of macro headwinds with the likes of higher interest rates and slower growth put a heavy pressure on companies to perform in this difficult environment. As a result, many companies reported slower earnings growth, and several names…
Adding Prime US REIT (SGX: OXMU) Into The Portfolio
This will be a quick short update as I’ll be away for a short trip getaway next week during the school holiday. Long story short, I had about $10-$15k of spare cash this month which I wanted to inject into the dividend portfolio. With Jackson Hole being the centre of attention last Friday, this gives…
