Calculation (price adjusted for splits) :
Price at Dec 28 was 4.46.
Price at Nov 21 was 3.50.
Total loss (price only) = 4.46-3.50 = 0.96
End of 2007 there was only one div for 0.0714 (Ex date 26/12, he bought 24/12 so won't be in time for T+3, so no divs for 2007.)
for 2008-2014 = 25.9+25.21+20+14+27+22+22 = 1.5611
Total gain = 1.56-0.96 = 0.60 per share.
Total percentage gain = 0.60/4.46 = 13.45%
So percent gain per year = 13.45/6 = 2.24% per year
Compared with 3% a year for FD, still a loss
If you invested Rm9,812 at that date :2200 shares at 4.46 = Rm9,812
2200 shares at 3.50 = Rm7,700
Total capital loss = Rm2,112
Add brokerage costs = Rm2,112 + 43.26 = Rm2,154.26
Total dividends = 2200 x 1.5611 = Rm3,434.42
Total gain = 3,434.42 - 2,154.26 = Rm1280.16
If you deposited Rm9,812 in FD at 3% p.a :Rm9,812 Compounded Annually at 3% for 6 years = RM11,716.04
Total gain = RM11,716.04 - RM9,812 = Rm1,904.04
Total difference = Rm1904.04 - 1280.16 = 623.88
I was stalking the past and looking for a dividend paying stock to invest and came upon this post by woodenus. (fyi thank you buddy again for the write up).
