Rakuten is cheaper if you trade below RM 1k or above RM 100k each transaction. So up to individual if its "cheaper".

wah, border not open yet already all in genting?

It seems to be perpetually hyped.

Why dont separate? it helps potential investors to analyse the dividend trend. If its a special dividend, then there is the possibility of it not recurring in the next quarter or year which is useful information.

Potentially the management itself feels that the high profits are not sustainable.
While you mention the rest of 2021, thats only one year, 2 years if you include 2020. Maybe even more years, but 10 years from now?
Some people look at a longer term at that. Just because some information is irrelevant to you does not mean it is not useful for other investors.
Assuming just for example that these profits are only for 2020 and 2021, it will be useful for investors to separate the special dividend to normalise the trend.
Dont supposed a company would want to make so much trouble for themselves to get approvals for a 2nd dividend distribution. If you feel its pointless you can raise it at the shareholder's meeting.

they announce open, then announce interstate travel still restricted, not surprising.

Since you are so interested in serbadk, you should have noticed the multiple private placements throughout 2020 right? many people dont like it.
you bought some in there? I was interested in that counter but end up didnt buy lol

Oh I see, maybe I saw the news multiple times then. Thanks for correcting.

They lower your expectations as much as possible first, so whatever financial results appear, shareholders will be happier lol

MCO is not as big a factor as it was. Many businesses are already operating at normal capacity.
Unless you are considering those that are still prevented from operating.
For those already operating, at most there would be a short spike but the price will normalize very quickly.

Just my 2 cents.

lol how did you think of that hahaha
was thinking too bad it wasnt the burger joint. might be interested if it was lol...

Correct me if wrong but if they delay loan repayments, the interests payments will increase as penalty right? So technically on paper, they are earning more. Just that their cash flow may not look great.

But not necessarily in the same period and that's the catch.

When thinking rationally...
But too many people affected by many "gurus", many convinced that big risk big rewards...now SD become the most "stable" stock while KLCI index going down.

Don't mind if I ask why is the speed of funding one of your concern if your intention is long term investment?

The earnings don't come from nothing. A strong balance sheet is important. Just that many gurus out there hiding behind "strong balance sheet" for the lack of any research or explanation. Forward PE is based on projected numbers which is basically anyone's guess. Its better to look at the financial statements and company plan as a whole. Not just selected parts of information that you like.
