Conclusion

A free to join contest with attractive prizes to be won - a no-brainer for me to join! From what i see in the full list of DLCs, they are predominantly underlying blue chip stocks and indexes from both SG and HK markets. Given the on-going protests and poor market sentiment of Hong Kong, I think i would be underweight HK counters since the contest will only last until end of November. Or probably just the Short underlying indicators for a more active trading. Feel free to join & follow me at my DLCs portfolio simulation here. Looking to lead a comfortable retirement?
