Opinions pls,...

Why the price of BOQ corrected lately ? Any idea

Not sure how.

Hansel,
Can u assist us ?

Elea, would u consider migrating to Aus ?

Picked up some BOQ

Don't know if the bros here have noticed that lately, Aussie bank shares have been plunging. Myself and the Aus investors had a hard time earlier trying to decipher what could have caused the drop,...

Finally, someone caught this article : http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-04-26/west...cuments/9699722

WBC dropped by a quantum of 9.94% YTD.
CBA dropped by a quantum of 9.98% YTD.

NAB dropped by only 3.72% YTD,... hence the least drop among the Big Four banks.
This is truely buying chances,.....

Sis, you already have financial sector, do you have other sector in ASX ?

A portfolio of ASX is not complete without some good mining/resources counters. Energy, consumer and healthcare are also good consideration.

I dare not touch ASX bank counters at the moment.

A word of notice here for any shareholders here in Malaysia who hold the counter : TAW in The ASX.

TAW of Australia has merged with Alliance Mineral Assets Ltd (AMAL) in The SGX.

One of the actions affecting our shares is as in the following :-

Points effecting JSE Tawana shareholders: - exerts from merge file on Tawana website

Excluded Shareholder means AMAL and its associates. Excluded Shares means Tawana Shares held by Excluded Shareholders on the Record Date. Implementation Date means the fifth Business Day following the Record Date or such other date as is agreed in writing by Tawana and AMAL. Ineligible Shareholder means a Scheme Participant whose address shown in the Register on the Record Date is a place outside Australia and its external territories, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and Singapore and South Africa, unless AMAL determines that it is lawful and not unduly onerous or impracticable to issue or provide a Scheme Participant with an address outside those jurisdictions with AMAL Shares under the Scheme.

A Scheme Participant (other than an Ineligible Shareholder) who does not validly elect to receive SGX Consideration Shares will receive ASX Consideration Shares. Accordingly, a Scheme Participant who wishes to receive ASX Consideration Shares does not need to make an election under this clause 6.1.

Quotation of Tawana Shares (a) Tawana will apply to ASX to suspend trading on ASX in Tawana Shares with effect from the close of trading on ASX on the Effective Date. ( [​IMG] After the Scheme has been fully implemented, Tawana will apply: (i) for termination of the Official Quotation of Tawana Shares on ASX and termination of official quotation of Tawana Shares on JSE; and (ii) to have itself removed from the official list of the ASX and JSE.
Hence, if your address shown in the Register for TAW shares is outside anyone of the above countries, your shares will be SOLD away. AMAL has appointed a sales agent to sell all Ineligible Shares.

This is one of the risks of investing in ASX shares. Even if your hold your shares via an account in SG, but should your address shows a Malaysian Address in their records, then you are subjected to having your shares sold-off forcibly if a specific corporate action takes place.

Above came about from some discussions I had with a shareholder from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) of South Africa,...

Haha I thought it’s a stable source of dividend,why not keep it.end up its a wrong decision and I am sitting on paper loss lol

Tq bro Ryan,...

Another personal experience of mine this morning. I bought LMW a few months ago,.. did not track much, then noticed this morning that the price has dipped. Looked at my portal of stocks updates and saw this report below :-
ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

www.lmw.com.au

20 April 2018 – LandMark White Limited (ASX:LMW)

Trading Update and FY18 Guidance

Following release of our half year results, we provided full year guidance which indicated revenues of $46.6M and profit before tax of $7.8M (EBITDA $8.6M).
Based upon unaudited management accounts, LMW has generated revenues of $32.4M and EBITDA of $4.6M for the 9 months to 31 March 2018. LMW now expects to generate revenues of circa $43.8M and EBITDA of circa $6.6M for the financial year ending 30 June 2018.

The reduction in anticipated earnings arises due to the lower than expected revenues within our government services division. Other divisions continue to deliver in line with previous expectations, including residential which has performed strongly for the 9 months to 31 March 2018.

The outlook for the government services division remains positive with the expectation of higher revenues in the second half of calendar year 2018 and through FY19.

Notwithstanding the reduction in full year earnings forecast, the synergy savings arising from the 2017 acquisition remain and LMW expects to deliver a circa 10% effective dividend yield (inclusive of franking credits) to shareholders for FY18 based on our current share price.

CEO Chris Coonan said: “It is important that the market is aware of changes to the financial performance of LMW. The lower forecast profit for FY18 is driven by the reduced revenues. The revenues from the government services division are anticipated to pick up in the final quarter of FY18. We have various opportunities in progress that are expected to deliver additional revenues which are likely to fall into FY19. LMW is in a strong position to capitalise on its highly profitable existing business and deliver on its organic growth and diversification strategy.”

Goes to show,again,... that ASX stocks need a lot of monitoring,... I missed the above news for one-month from April 20th.,.... 

Exactly,... this one : why want subscribe the rights at 5.1 cents when the market price is only 4 cents... ? Lol,... I too do not understand the rationale of the Aussies here,... who would want to subscribe,... maybe it's the institutions,.. but again, the institutions would be thinking like retail investors too,...   

Are you selling off Tawana because you don't want to be involved with the SpinCo ?

Yeah,... this ASX,... lots of work, lots of monitoring,....          NO need to do other everyday work already,....

Yeah,... mine too,... pulled dpwn by the banks,....it's okay,...

Wondered what would be the fallout from this below,...

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd <ANZ.AX> said on Monday it would remove sales incentives for financial planning bonuses, in a move that comes amid intense scrutiny of Australia's financial sector.

The lender would also terminate the employment of financial planners who provide inappropriate advice, it said in a statement.

“We know it has taken too long for changes to occur, so where we see solutions we will act. That is why we are getting on with these initiatives now,” Chief Executive Shayne Elliott said in the statement.

ANZ also committed to completing compensation by the end of the year on about 9,000 current cases where inappropriate advice occurred.

The bank said last week that increased regulation and fierce competition would likely crimp revenue growth, as would more cautious lending practices after an inquiry into misconduct in the country's finance industry by the Royal Commission.

On Thursday, fellow Australian "Big 4" bank National Australia Bank said it was looking to exit part of its wealth management arm by 2019. - Reuters

I checked the returns :-

                        1 Mth 3 Mths 6 Mths    1 Yr 3 Yrs p.a.      5 Yrs p.a. 10 Yrs p.a.  Inception p.a.
Price return  1.16 -3.88 -7.82 -12.44 -3.54          --                --              1.06
Income return  0.00  0.00  2.64            5.01  5.07                  --                --              5.55
Total return  1.16 -3.88 -5.18  -7.43  1.53                  --                --              6.61

Don't you think if we buy the individual banks ourselves,... we can do better ?

Since incepton,... the total return at per year calculation is only at 6.61% ? And the 3 year return at per year calculation is only 1.53% ?

Did I read wrongly ?

lately I get dividend ard Aus500. I guess also worth it. I just want round up the units I have to thousand. will keep top up when have chance.

Thanks.

etf charges are supposed to be low, for junior investors to participate in the exchange.

Looking back at the performance table earlier, the three-year performance at a total of 1.53% for every year in the past three years is really bad. If, say, we buy just BOQ, MYS and NAB three years ago, we would have beaten this performance easily with just the dividend payout alone.

How about US Shares held in Stanchart - must call them too to take any divvy payout in Cash ?

The dividend is declared as fully franked dividend. So the amount is net already

http://dividends.com.au/dividend-history/?enter_code=BOQ

If you look at the details,

Net dividend = $0.38
Franking credit = $0.16286
Gross dividend = $0.54286

So, as a non-tax resident, you cannot claim the franking credit of $0.16286

Based on the closing price of $10.08, the dividend yield net of tax is still 7.5%. Very good !
