I think the issue here is not which asse...Hi hdtv,<br /><br />I think the issue here is not which asset class is more volatile. It's how the underlying companies issuing the bond is doing, and hence affecting their solvency affects the bonds indirectly. If the company issuing the bond is not doing well financially, then it'll affect the payment of the bond, hence the strength of the company is a matter of great importance when looking at bonds.<br /><br />I agree with you that bonds should be kept to maturity, but you can't apply that to just any bonds. We don't often see bonds defaulting here, esp for retail bonds traded over sgx, but that doesn't mean it won't happen. la papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-4497988090515687542016-03-31T16:12:18.972+08:002016-03-31T16:12:18.972+08:00I think bonds should be treated differently from s...I think bonds should be treated differently from stocks.<br /><br />Why are people so fearful of bonds but not about shares that can drop from 1 dollar to 5 cents.?<br /><br />Bonds should be kept to maturity and not for trading unless it reaches a good price above par. So, depending on your available funds, it would be good to allocate a bigger portion into such fixed income instruments than to dabble it with stocks or reits for that matter which fluctuates a lot in pricing.<br />passive incomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06130664708288106011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-3216616458770814732016-03-29T22:41:18.689+08:002016-03-29T22:41:18.689+08:00Hi Angie,

But let's just say the amt invested should be as much as you can afford to lose without feeling any pain. I really don't know whether to recommend a first time to try this bond. la papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-48467882827783619602016-03-29T17:21:18.277+08:002016-03-29T17:21:18.277+08:00Hi,

However, would you still recommend a first-timer trying this bond? At a pretty minimum amount of 2-10k ? <br /><br />Appreciate it.<br />Thanks,<br />AngieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-25024834896229129092016-03-29T00:37:58.860+08:002016-03-29T00:37:58.860+08:00There are 5 OCBC perpertual bonds running at the s...There are 5 OCBC perpertual bonds running at the same time, aren't u worried?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-84736525242915468972016-03-27T21:47:54.099+08:002016-03-27T21:47:54.099+08:00It may not have problem paying the coupons next tw...It may not have problem paying the coupons next two years but how will they find money redeeming the bonds maturing within a few months?
