    It all about you, your ability to take risk, time and capital at your disposal. If you can afford substantial capital and have the time and dedication to research on individual stocks then it makes sense to pick stocks individually. However, if your capital is small and you do not have much time to do research then exchange traded funds would be a much smarter and better choice.

Also the OCBC Reward is a $10 rebate for 3600 points which I think is fare.
