Good analysis Frank, I noticed that too on his blog posts. He gave almost no stop loss just to eke out 20 or 50pips and then cheer. Just one of millions of wannabees.
It's a small country, but it's also not so small to give you a "typical" rental price. If you are wealthy, there is the St. Regis Residences Singapore http://exclusives.stregis.com/St-Regis-Singapore-1533/so.htm?IM=PP_LHN_SOP_US_ST_1533&iATANumber=
I didn`t mean a spa or manson.If i want to live there for a while and rent some two bed condo.I used to live in Costa Rica and rented two bedroom condo for $450 a month.But then,a friend of mine - local,recommended me to the owners.Otherwise i would pay at least $700-$800 per month.That how it goes there.
Rental prices vary alot depending on the kind of comfort you looking for, ...... this one probably the best resource if you are serious http://www.singaporeexpats.com/
It depends on what you rent.Certainly there were some rat nests for $150 in Santa Ana or Tres Rios or wherever.But 10 times, c`mon. You can rent room at the ''hotel'' in San Jose,can`t remember the name..''Washington'' or some like that, for 1000 colones,though.
http://www.singaporeexpats.com/guides-for-expats/relocation-to-singapore.htm the site also has useful guides beside rental pricing, offering an expatriate's view of relocation.
I think it depends if you have a family, your life style, and how far you are willing to live from your office/work place. I live near Raffles place very close to my office with a family and have to caugh up SGD5.8k for a 1200ft in a nice condo. My best friend living with a family 30minutes away by subway from his workplace lives near the airport and spends SGD2.5k for the same size as my appartment. My junior lives in an HDB (government housing) which from a comfort point of view is not tip-top but still okay for a young single chap, spends SGD1.5k per month.
