• Not very good news for the US markets this week, QQQ went down as much as 4% for the week as shutdown continues.
• PLTR beat earnings but got sold down to lows of 170 from last week 201s before closing at 180 aftermarket.
• Went to as high as 210 on Tues morning but Burry's news of shorting got the better of it.
• Sold out of remaining US positions, holding only CSPs on IBIT.
• Thankfully DBS managed to beat expectation despite earning lesser than 1year ago but still higher than Q2.
• Stock went up as high as 55.55, a new ath but closed under 55 on Fri.
• Not so good for UOB as they took 600m as additional provision, do they see something DBS n OCBC don't?
• OCBC also hit ath on Fri after earning more than last year Q3, very surprising.
• Anyway, not much catalyst for local banks imo till next earnings.
• Good news for DBS dividend policy, another 6c increase w the 60c extra payout till 2027.
• Still left with more than 2.6B for share buybacks only if prices are low according to TSS.
• Upcoming earnings will be from LINK in 12 days time.
