Based on charts, StarHub seemed to have form 2 bases, 3.26 and 3.380+. Technically with 2 higher bases formed, it is a sign of uptrend In my views, i believe starhub should rally to around 3.60+
On the other hand, if there were to be any adverse news or market conditions, starhub is still a good stock to hold for dividends. Starhub dividend yield is about 5.8+%, whereas CPF interest rate is about 3.5% Not to mention, there may be capital gains too, resulting to a possibility of a gain higher than 5.8%
Lastly, before you use CPF to buy into Starhub, please make sure:
1. you have opened a CPF investment account. If so, please let me know your CPF Investment Account no if your trading profile is not undated.
2. There is sufficient funds in your 'Available For Stocks' section
Of course there is not absolute way to do this. Either you can buy and hold for dividends, or you can buy and sell for profits, depending which gives you more money.
my 2 cents
