I am buying in for sure. 

Even dividend stock king like Maybank are only giving 6-6.5% dividend..but at higher risk factor..

Exactly...i managed to average down slowly for past two weeks between rm8.53 - rm8.55...before QR and dividend release yesterday..luckily the announcement was within expectation...

have to play with high risk to earn extra 1% return

ASNB 5% only but boleh goyang kaki and sleep peacefully

Rule No. 1: Never lose money.

Rule number 2:Get rich slowly but surely.

biar lambat asalkan selamat

Asnb now buka.anyone managed to buy?

5% damn bad!!!!

Time to sell everyone !!

Suggest u all also blast email to pnb to flood them. Else they will think 5% is acceptable then other funds will follow suit . They like to test water to feel people sentiment. Don’t wait u do or I do ... we all unite and do.

1,06 / 21,6 = 4.9% ???

Bagi 5% also bising. Bagi 6% still bising... PNB has no obligation to please every investor. If dont like just dont dump money into Asnb...

0.1% indirectly contributed by people who sold/bought middle of the month aka other than 1st day of the month who are not entitled for dividend for that month.

even if reserve also not surprising. During the good years, we only received 6%.

30% above market with many allowances

if they feel headache to catcha once for every 30k, i don't think we will get 5%.

remember the bumi reserved quota? catcha once terus strike?

No. I am assuming that most of the ASN staffs are bumi. Bumi just need to catcha once to strike (at least, for ASB1). So bonus unit or bonus MYR, not a big difference because just need to catcha once to buy. Won't cause a headache unless they have, say, $3m to buy per person.

ASB2 and ASB3, from what I read here, depends on unit availability. If not happy, just buy ASM2 and terus strike the bumi quota. very sure no headache.

PNB still owns SPSetia, MahSing and Sapura Kencana right?

Their shares are not doing very well.

in terms of allocation, don't know.

in terms of return, quite sure around 3% unless they put in promotional FD. Back in those days, I think sukuk higher much higher return than FD but rumor say very difficult to buy. now i don't know how's the return.

so the more sukuk or FD they put in, the less return you get. promotional FD was 4.4% tops. after BLR go down, I think 4% will some occasional 4.x% promo. well below 5% loh.

banks can rebound easily... but can Sapura Kencana return to its former glory?  :confused:

#define lower

lower than previous year or lower each year? I believe it's part of their diversification. if i don't have a memory crosslink, I saw somewhere they even put inside maybank2me's FD at 3.x%. so to give dividends higher than that, sure sapu a lot from KLSE
