I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

DBS net profit up 9%, beats expectations


DBS Group Holdings, Singapore's biggest bank, beat expectations as first-quarter core net profit rose 9 percent to record, helped by strong growth in loans. 
 
DBS said core net profit came to a record S$1.033 billion ($823 million)for the first three months of 2014, up from S$950 million in the same period a year earlier and above an average forecast of S$857 million from six analysts polled by Reuters. 
 
Net profit including special items, climbed 30 percent to S$1.231 billion, boosted by items such as a one-off gain from the sale of a stake in a Philippine lender.

DBS has so far largely been affected by slower growth in housing market after government cooling measures.
 
"Despite challenging fixed income markets, quarterly earnings crossed the S$1 billion mark for the first time, a testament to the strength of our franchise," DBS CEO Piyush Gupta said in a statement.

    Price To Book Value

    DBS Bank has a low price to book ratio of 1.18 as compared to the industry average of 2.97. Most of the assets of a bank can be considered to be highly liquid. A low price to book ratio represents a bargain for investors who are looking to invest in the long run.
