Hi all;
Just a question.
FOr counter: 5191 Tambun Indah;
This is about dividend and price adjustment during ex-date. My dealer told me when a company pays dividend, the share price will experience a downward price adjustment.

Example: today's share price (19/08/2013): RM1.54
Pay dividend RM0.033 by today
Hence, the share price will experience a downward price adjustment; RM1.54 - RM0.033

Don't really quite understand how can this happen? Any advice? I thought share price should appreciate when dividends are paid.

Also, where can i read up on investing in share market?

Thanks in advance.
