you mean why the price adjustment?

all stocks are like that. The price is automatically adjusted on ex-date.

if major shareholder taking out money,then y is company still giving out dividends?

Just a thought, is it wise to use another trading account to make some quick profits when the share prices drop?

I have 2 accounts and 1 account is not used. For example, airasia dropped a lot today and there's nothing much I can do besides average down with my main account. On the other hand, i was thinking about using the other account for quick profits. Any thoughts/advise?

LOL, 2 account 3 account 4 account, money also come from same pocket.

There is no different in your net position, whether you buy from 1st ac or second ac.

Want to ask, if i buy stocks AA with contra account, will i still get the deviden? For AA, when will the dividen come in?

because without dividend payments, price will fall even more

Lol, of course same pocket. What i meant was if i have 5 lots at RM3, i will need to pump quite a lot to average it down based on the latest price (Rm2).

Instead, with a fresh account, i can buy at Rm2 and perhaps sell it off at Rm2.20. Quicker to make small profits, that's all.

Same money, no difference. U can have as many accounts as u like, u r not getting any richer.

But I guess if it makes u feel better then why not...haha

Short the position.
Sell now and buy back lower.
Rinse and repeat until back to parity?

Previously, you had 5 lots at Rm3.
Now buy new fresh batch at Rm2.00 and sell at Rm2.20, you don't make a profit?
Must use fresh account to buy, only consider profit?

This kind of math is beyond my understanding...

Also, you need to take in account of the previous bought Rm3.00, should be adjusted to Rm2.10 due to special dividend ex.

Stock market is about making money only, not about find a way of inventive "syiok sendiri" figure.

Can just treat it a different batch, ABC-batch1 or 2 in excel, if really want to.

LOL! Exactly what I thought

The logic really take my breath away.

Now i get what you mean, regardless of which account. Didn't see it that way earlier because i usually sell the whole lot one time so my mind was stuck with the final average down number vs current price

nobody discuss about:

RHB Bank share trade suspended on an asset disposal announcement?

https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/rhb-...al-announcement

Selling RHB Insurance, no big deal.

With September interim dividend incoming for many stocks, any recommendations?

Right now, I only have:

Malakoff : August
Maybank: Sept

Japan and South Korea trade war: any opportunity here?

too early to tell.

hi-5 for maybank!

Im into power sector as well. Is malakoff a good growth stock in your opinion? Some other great ipp like ytlpowr seems to fetch a good price too
