Not the same if view it long term. Yes, it is adjusted down after ex, you gain nothing, but if it gives the same dividend again next year, price creep back up again.

For eg. Panamy gives Rm1.00 every year, after holding 12 years, it become like free already. So even market crash or whatever, you don't lose the capital. As compared one stock never gives dividend, market crash, delisted or whatever, you lose.

Also if company ability to give dividend especially generous one, it 99% means the company is financially strong.

Sky taikor, you hold GENS, Genting, or only C1?

thats guy said the support on 0.80, now almost there already, but GENS not stop bleeding, pull down Genting as well

Fear simply sometimes over multiplied.
Is it going to be the next PN17 ?

I am totally agree with you cherroy taikor, this panamy must be my top priority in my watch list...

Yes, it is the same. But I would rather those RM12.00 in my pocket. 

If really so, why company keep those Rm12.00 unused and not giving a single reward to the shareholders? It doesn't make sense.

Give RM12.00, you can decide what to do with the money, you can re-invest back the company share, eventually it is the same again. At least money in hand, beat anything else.

The first criteria in investing listed company share is look for company management that treating well the shareholders, and looking after shareholder benefit. Without this criteria, no matter how company lucrative profit is, I don't dare to invest in it, because as minoirty shareholder, I/we don't have any protection at all.

You can invest in a company share that worth Rm10.00 in asset/cash or whatever at the price of Rm1.00, but company can decide not to distribute a single cent forever as well, if majority shareholder decide to do so. Then you just seeing those Rm10.00 in figure only.

Just like you bought a house, at RM100K, now appreciated to Rm1 million, you may jump up and down that now you are millionaire, but you don't sell or cannot sell (due to whatever reason), do you have Rm1 million?
The answer is yes, you have net worth of 1 million but you don't have 1 million.   

You invested in listed company, you expect company make profit for you and distribute to you.
You expect company make profit for you, then those profit being kept forever in the company?

We invested in listed company share, intention is to make money, we invested in listed company don't expect company to act as some kind of 'depositor' like bank.

Jusy my view.

I am totally agree with you cherroy taikor, this panamy must be my top priority in my watch list...

If buy Genting today still can the voucher ar ?

However i believe panamy dividend at current are mostly less 25% tax. So after the implementation of single tier dividend on 2014 will the dividend be reduced by 25% ?

buy now, get voucher (maybe)

buy later, get cheaper share price (maybe) 

Panamy keep going up these 2 days! must be cherroy's effect

and the upcoming final divvy is too yummy-licious, whoever sell now should bang his/her head on the wall liao

Still holding to your MAS ?

Yor, I was waiting for dips since it was at around 10 and today hits new high of 13, looks like getting it is getting farer and farer.....    Think I must set my TP buy at 12 now... Hope I can get it after ex...

Wah u got good memory

Yes, cross fingers. (actually the share will only be deposited one day before listing date)

yawn~~~ no counter has dipped enough to buy....
Dear Haio is in consolidation mode.. not bad, only down 0.22 with 1k+ volume...

Less 25% is better than single tier actually, as those at lower tax bracket will enjoy the benefit.

Rm1.00 dividend, either Rm1.00 less 25%, or Rm0.75 single tier. 

So to answer to question basically yes.

BAT is the classic example which they have implemented the single tier.
