STI is hopeless.. You see good companies delisting, and hopeless companies listed..

What future does it has.. US or HK market have better prospect companies to invest.

STI is not hopeless.

Over the years it has many changes and slowly companies like SIA and Semb marine were taken out

1. It has a good mix of commodity energy stocks like Wilma, Keppel that will be ee fit from rise of oil.

2. It now has reits which 
will benefit from opening up and rentals going up due to inflation.

3. There are still loser companies like SingTel but these have fallen so much the weightage is less important.

When I started this thread STI ETF had 4% dividends yield and PE of around 15 or lower. This numbers mean we can lock on to around 7% return when STI was 3100. Now it has gone up the return will be slightly lower. 7% is not bad and you don't have currency risk of overseas market. The alternative is S&P500 but valuations are very high so you cannot get returns of the past 10yrs.

People are disinterested in something because 1. They look at rear view mirror 2. They only get interested after it goes up. Then they want to go all in.

The normal human mind thinking and behavior does not lead to winning on the stock market.
