The ‘Ang Bao’ Watchlist: 5 Stocks Paying You While Everyone Else Buys Bak Kwa
While the crowd spends, we collect. Here is your strategic roadmap for the January/February dividend season, covering Privatizations, Spin-offs, and Staples.
The Lunar New Year is approaching. For most Singaporeans, this is a season of outflows—red packets, overpriced Bak Kwa, and new clothes.
For us, the “Smart Money,” this is a season of inflows.
While the market gets distracted by the festivities, corporate earnings and dividend declarations are rolling in. The goal isn’t just to buy stocks that pay a yield; it’s to buy businesses where the check in the mail is supported by real cash flow or a massive valuation disconnect.
The Authority Drop
If you’re new here, welcome. I’m Iggy, your Singapore-based Private Investor and Market Researcher. Since October 2025, we’ve built a community of over 5,300 investors and produced over 1,300 videos and 400 articles. We are home to a growing ‘Inner Circle’ of over 100 paid members across YouTube and Substack. I don’t guess; I look at the numbers.
Quick Housekeeping: If you want the best value, the YouTube Premium Membership (S$9/mth) bundles these deep-dive articles with the podcast videos. Substack alone is US$6, so the bundle is the “smart money” move.
Now, let’s get to the numbers.
