AUD hitting 3.44...........

No. I have not looked at ASX yet.

I have not planned for investing in ASX yet.

Nah.........I hedged in SGD and USD rather than AUD which is rather more unpredictable vs the MYR. That is the reason why I am quite big into SREITs since 2009.

They are 22 and 18 respectively.

I am an olde man.

What I have noticed over the long haul, SGD is stronger against the AUD

I do not intend to keep much MYR assets as my children have no wish to return to Malaysia. So Yes, I will be looking at AUD based assets soon.

WoW1 9% Drop! That's drastic!

Not going into ASX just yet.

Not just BOQ, but Aus banks have corrected generally in tandem with US markets

Yeah

I am unhappily paying 30% with holding tax on US stock dividends, but net yields of 8 to 12%.....so.

Yeah.....high returns is high-er risk.

Do a search at seekingalpha. Then make your own DD.

Funds do not know everything. Plus they have their own risk constraints. All I know is I receive monthly or quarterly dividends from these counters. AND their earnings more than cover these dividends. Sometimes they issues special dividends, so the yields are even higher.

No. I do not pay for the subscriptions.
Just read to get ideas.

BREAKING DOWN 'Franked Dividend'
Because dividends are paid out of company profits that have already been taxed, shareholders are responsible for a smaller portion of tax on those dividends. Since investors receive a credit for the amount of tax the business paid on a dividend, if the investor’s tax rate is below the company’s tax rate, the investor receives a refund of the difference from the Australian Tax Office (ATO).

For example, Sarah invests in a company that pays her a fully franked dividend of $800. Her dividend statement indicates a franking credit of $270. If the dividend were unfranked, Sarah would have owed taxes on the entire $1,070 ($800 + $270 = $1,070.) Therefore, when Sarah files her taxes, she declares $1,070 as part of her taxable income. Because her marginal tax rate is 20%, she would have paid $214 if the dividend were unfranked. Because the dividend is franked and the company paid $270 in taxes, Sarah receives the difference of $56.
Fully Franked Dividends
When a stock’s shares are fully franked, the company pays tax on the entire dividend. Investors receive 100% of the tax paid on the dividend as franking credits.
In contrast, shares that are not fully franked may result in tax payments for investors. Because of tax deductions businesses may claim, such as losses from preceding years, the company issuing the dividend might not pay the entire tax rate on its profits in a given year. When this happens, not enough tax is paid by the business for attaching a full tax credit to the dividends paid to shareholders. As a result, a tax credit is attached to some of the dividend, making that portion franked, and leaving the rest of the dividend untaxed, or unfranked. The dividend is then partly franked. The investor is responsible for paying the remaining tax balance.
Example of Franked Dividends
In April 2016, New York-based investment firm VanEck announced its launch of its security called the VanEck Vectors S&P/ASX Franked Dividend ETF. The security was the first exchange-traded fund (ETF) in Australia that included companies in the S&P/ASX 200 that paid out 100% franked dividends in the preceding two years and have sustainable dividend policies. The EFT is designed to track the S&P/ASX Franked Dividend Index that S&P Dow Jones Indices created with VanEck. The security was designed for increased flexibility, transparency and cost-effectiveness.
