Sold my Capitaland and HLF

Last week,  I decided to sell my capitaland (CL) and Hong Leong Finance (HLF)stocks holdings.

Both stocks were bought using my cpf monies.

Sold CL at 3.55 and HLF at 2.7

Made a total profit of approx 6k.

One reason for selling them now was because I decided to buy Singtel.

As shared in my earlier post,  one yardstick which I used,  is that the dividends from stocks bought using cpf should be >2.5% (interest rate in OA) as these monies came from my CPF OA.  If the monies we're to come from SA,  the dividend should exceed 4%.

Why singtel. Based on current price of 3.27, the dividend yield is >5%, doubled of OA interest. Although dividend is not a guarantee, i thought it is a decent return. With the 4th telco coming in soon, Singtel share might take another beating which would make it even attractive.

I don't have to do anything
