Comments
The P/E and P/B ratios are still telling conflicting stories about the index. The STI does not look significantly cheap nor expensive by any historical measure. Valuation-wise, it seems to be getting cheaper.
Considering how the index has not pulled back substantially yet, I am still waiting for an opportunity to enter long positions. Still no rush. Zen mode.

Hi there SG Investing Success,
DeleteThanks for the comment! Oh, I think there are others that do much deeper and better analysis, I'm a bit detached from each individual stock.
Added your link on the blog roll, looking forward for more posts!
