hey aurora...another question sry...fast one if i were to sell my kps today..would i have been entitled to the dividend?

5843 KPS Final Dividend 4% Ex date 29/07/2009

I do not think you need  a 17" one just to trade shares.

Viper should know what I mean.

I have a bit , 20,000 shares only.

Sold 10,000 shares 2 days ago.

I have one of 10" and one of 9" netbook.

Tempting  to buy  one  with  7".

Maybe can monitor share market while in the toilet.

now you mentioned it...

2006 - special dividend 203 sens
2007 - tarak kasi
2008 - special dividend RM1.35
2009 - special dividend RM1.20

Definitely Irrational Exuberance.

We are so top heavy, I'm expecting a nice pullback.. but just too many
dip buyers at the door.

The earnings are guided so low, most companies can beat 'em easily.

All "less bad" become "Recession is Over!"
This is pure madness!! I tell ya!

Everyone is taking ecstasy pill. By next quarter, reality may come in and say..
hey.. where's the earnings, where's the growth, where's the jobs?

not yet bb still got timeleh, CCB hasnt reach is peak yet.. still can take profit ...

estimate that CCB will hit at least RM 4..

this being the the dividend total is about 1.25, whilst the opening price today is 2.66 should be around 3.91

yes thats right, normally when investors buy things the normally see the 1.25 rather than the 90c ... i.e. me 

a prudent person would take 90c rather than 1.25 total would be around 3.56...

than again u can claim the tax, for rebates.

Yup, CCB definately caught my attention with chunky payouts that could have been misten for Cap Repayment.

Other counter to look at is Jtinter...

Was lookin at it together with Pana at the beginning of the yr but i think kuda dah larini...

Anyway i think i will settle for my Bjtoto

Amanah Saham 1Malaysia open for subscription from Aug 5

KUALA LUMPUR: Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) will offer for subscription the RM10 billion Amanah Saham 1Malaysia, from August 5 at a fixed price of RM1 per unit.

This would be the largest fund offering to date by PNB.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said at the launch of the fund Friday that the fresh injection of liquidity would boost the equities market as well as other investment instruments.

kasi hentam SIME!!!

Cik Aminah Amanah's favourite 

Analysts expect the launch of the Amanah Saham 1Malaysia (AS 1Malaysia) fund to help shore up the local market in the fourth quarter.

"We will see the effects in the fourth quarter as the offer period for the fund ends in early September and the re-distribution of investments takes place (after that)," OSK Investment Bank's head of research, Chris Eng, told Business Times yesterday.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak launched the unit trust fund with a size of 10 billion units at a fixed price of RM1 each yesterday. It will be managed by Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB).

The announcement had a positive impact on the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Composite Index, which closed 14.24 points higher at 1,174.90 yesterday.

The rise was in line with rallies in other Asian markets.

The AS 1Malaysia will invest up to 90 per cent of its value in equities, with the rest in fixed income, liquid assets and other capital market instruments.

While PNB has not specified the industries the fund will invest in, Eng said that it was likely to look at PNB's investment companies such as Malayan Banking Bhd, UMW Holdings Bhd, MMC Corp Bhd and SP Setia Bhd.

"The fund is a positive move for retail investors, given that deposit and savings account rates are low. Consumers can channel their money into the fund, which will invest in the market in an orderly manner," Kenanga Investment Bank head of research Yeonzon Yeow said.

The fund's return will be benchmarked against the average five-year MGS (Malaysian Government Securities) yield, which currently has a trading yield of 3.73 per cent.

The only concern raised was that the new move might artificially inflate the stock market beyond its current valuation.

"Many of us have not upgraded our earnings forecast on how fast the economy can recover. The question now is, will stock prices run ahead of valuations as the market is trading at a price-earnings (PE) ratio of 18 to 19 times currently," Yeow said.

wow -10 pts!

u sure or not, no feeling.. 

BTW, we have FBM-100, FBM-Mid 70 and FBM-Small Cap
