Then Everyone Sold Them. Welcome back! On Monday SGX cut the board lot on DBS, OCBC and UOB from 100 shares to 10 — the entry ticket on Singapore's biggest blue chips fell 90% overnight. By Thursday those same three banks were more than 60% of all short selling on the market. Members spent the week on both halves of that. 📊 ## **🇸🇬 The Lot Got Smaller.
