    Dear Smart Investor,

    15 days ago, Singapore reported zero cases of COVID-19. 

    For a brief moment, there was hope.

    But the flare-up of the KTV and Jurong Fishery Port clusters threw a curveball at the nation’s plan to lift movement and travel restrictions.

    It’s a timely reminder that even the best-laid plans can go awry. 

    Fighting for our financial freedom

    The path of your financial freedom is not always paved with a bed of roses. 

    You have to prepare for the curve balls that are thrown your way.

    An excellent first step would be to start with an emergency fund to cover unexpected expenses.

    Park these funds in a place you can access when you need it most; investment returns should be a secondary concern here. 

    Beyond your emergency funds, we are advocates of only investing with money that you don’t need for the next five years.

    That’s because no one can predict what will happen in the stock market in the short term. 

    Bottom line: you don’t want to put any short-term cash needs at risk.

    Then when you’re ready to invest, it’s time to find stocks that will fight for your financial freedom.

    There’s no better way to do that than to hold a Survivor-style competition.

    Get in the ring!

    Recently, we asked our readers on Facebook to pick 3 stocks for us to analyse.

    They chose the first contender between two businesses that have done well during the pandemic. 

    It was either the data centre REIT, Keppel DC REIT (SGX: AJBU), or our local supermarket operator, Sheng Siong Group (SGX: OV8).

    The majority chose Keppel DC REIT. That’s some food for thought. 

    Next, we asked them to vote for their favourite property mogul, a popular source of wealth among Singaporeans.

    We pitted two property-related companies against each other, Frasers Logistics & Commercial Trust (SGX: BUOU) and PropNex (SGX: OYY).

    The vote went to the REIT. 

    Finally, we let readers choose a blue chip stock, as it is often well regarded for its stability and ability to pay dividends.

    We lined up two titans. Singapore’s largest bank, DBS Group (SGX: D05), and Singapore’s largest real estate developer, CapitaLand (SGX: C31). 

    DBS Group walked away with the most votes. 

    And there you have it, three stocks that have made it through the finals, courtesy of our friends on Facebook.

    But if you thought the competition was over, it’s not. 

    What’s the right stock for you?

    The question still remains: Which of these 3 stocks should you buy?

    When you’re ready to invest, the choice is plenty. So, let us help you make a smarter decision.

    On 29 July 2021, we’ll be hosting a live “match” featuring these 3 finalists. We’ll break down their strengths and weaknesses. 

    And at the end of it, you’ll see which of these will be the strongest dividend warrior fit enough to be in your portfolio.

    Would the sexiness of a “new economy” stock that is Keppel DC REIT win over our fans?  

    Or will DBS Group deliver the uppercut that knocks the newbie off the stage?

    Or maybe you prefer the stability of Frasers Logistics & Commercial Trust? 

    Either way, be sure to attend our session where my fellow Co-Founders, Joanna Sng and David Kuo, will be joining me to break down the merits behind each voted stock. 

    It’s Fight Night on 29 July…and you’re invited! Crowd favourites, Keppel DC REIT (SGX: AJBU), Frasers Logistics & Commercial Trust (SGX: BUOU), and DBS (SGX: D05) will fight to the end for the title of “Champion of Dividends.” Be the first to find out who wins in this 3-way mayhem on the 29 July. We’ll host a webinar, and together we’ll analyse each contender’s strengths, weaknesses, and potential. To reserve a front-row ticket to this royal rumble, click HERE now.
