Dividend shares is expensive
Buy in low volume, u can't feel the dividend come in
Buy in low volume frequently, u making loss in brokerage fee

But better buy if got extra money
Put under bank won't do any good

buy texchem la... 10% dividend yo

problem with dividend stocks is when their profit is high, they pay higher dividend. and vice versa

take JCY for example. their dividend yield record is fantastic, but until this year. their dividend has decrease. no doubt their payout is good, but when bad things happen, they also need to save company ass 1st

another example is maxis. they have been overpay their shareholder in 2016,2015. they dividend payout is higher than their operating profit. shit will happen if they continue to do so, and the ceo reverse the direction.

well. just some example to ponder on...

Hello, i m new to stock, can u pls guide me , where can invest
"Invest in companies in SG, HK or NYSE / Nasdaq..
Gain / Loss X currency exchange rates too. Fast up / down..
Dividend also X currency exchange rates too."

i totally agree with you.

Go do homework first. Then decide what market you want to invest in.

Not if you are in the long run where you expect the RM to drop.

Faster way to learn is to get employ and work in MNC listed in SGX, Nasdaq, S n P 500, thru monthly salary's employee subscription plan, with purchase company share at 6 months lowest price and good 15% discount. create brokerage ACCT thru company.

Otherwise go open own personal brokerage like etrade, ally invest, maybank, rhb invest ..etc to invest, trade, option ..etc

Go Reuters, Bloomberg, cnbc, cnn money, ..etc reading all stories daily.. Believed you know basic financial ratios, pe, quick, current, roe, cash flow coverage/dividend ratio, ..etc..etc

Go to Apple store, Google play, download useful apps for reading and sightseeing. PM if u need more information.

anyone invest Realty Income Corporation stock ? heard dividend pay in every month

Yes with 30% dividend tax too. Lol. Don't look at yield alone. It have very lousy dividend growth. Pathetic.

better buy Malaysia dividend stock ?

There's so many stock. Don't just look at realty income. Depends on you.

I don't hold Malaysia stocks cause RM is a depreciating currency. What I earn now won't be enough down the road due to stupid ringgit.

Different people different style. Some need the money now so buy high yield stocks. But got risk kena cut
Some don't need the money buy those 0.5-2%pma stock with 10%+ growth. Figure out your own goal and style. What works for me, won't work for you. Don't blindly copy others.

from the beginning I chose Realty Income but after earning will deduct -30% tax rate, so not much I will get.

Don't let the 30% tax scare you away. Eg. I have visa, Microsoft, adp, UNP. Compare to realty income, the stocks I mentioned have peanut dividend especially visa and Microsoft (I got Microsoft aroun 200-220 mark) But they make up for it in terms of consistent double digit dividend growth.

Also start learning options. Options is essentially a way to get back the 30% dividend tax. Tax free. Again that's what I am doing.

Bro Wong,... I have been buying PFLT for many years, traded, bought and sold for profit or hold and extract monthly dividend. Even after the 30% withholding tax, it is still worth it. I have just started on Dynex.

With the coming rate cut environment, mortgage-backed securities will start to do well.

Hi LYN sifus, I'm new to stocks and I'm not a risk taker... yet.

I'm investing primarily for dividends. My current stocks are
Maybank
RHBBANK
MBSB

I am planning to sell these stocks during Ex Date, because I see in historical charts, the prices drop a lot. I'm still eligible for the dividends right if I sell on Ex Date or is there a detail I missed (eg: cut off time)?

I then plan to buy the same stocks again, hopefully at lower price, then wait for the next Ex Date and then sell again.

I know this is slow and not exciting for most sifus here, but please advise if there is any advice on my simple strategy here.. Thank you

You be wasting money due to fees.

My advice? Really take some time off to really know why you want to invest and what kind if investment you are really for you.

Have fun. Internet manyak advice.

Just hold. Don't bother trying to dividend harvest. Sometimes stock don't even drop ex dividend date.
