Forummers,... let's discuss,...

First reported at 4.37 pm this evening by CNBC and subsequently updated within the same evening : https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/04/hong-kong-e...-wednesday.html

The HSI soared by 4% in the afternoon following reports that a controversial extradition bill was set to be withdrawn. By mkt close, the HSI pared some gains to close at 26,523.23 points today giving-up 0.1% from the height of 4%.

On a personal basis for the counter that I'm watching,....

1) HSBC (0005.HK) rose by 3.5%, closed at 57.900 today. Opened at 56.000 this morning.
2) PCCW (0008.HK) rose by 0.7%, closed at 4.300 today,... but this counter opened at 4.300 this morning, hence, there was no real movement if we look solely at today's performance.
3) Public Finance Hldgs (0626.HK) rose by 1.7%, closed at 3.030 today. Opened at 3.010 this morning.

How about other counters, bros and sis ?

Fortune REIT has moved up,... too late,..

So, which counter is for dividend and which is for cap gain ?

Just off the top of my head,... for these two counters : China Mobile and ICBC,...

1) Payout is only twice a year.
2) There will be a 10% WHT on the dividend payout.
3) Payout base currency will be in RMB. Tendency now is for the RMB to weaken further,... hence, your dpu collected will be affected negatively.

Any opinions to the above ?

China Mobile's Net Profit Growth and EPS Growth has been negative except for FY2017. You think this will improve later ?

I learnt my lesson from Starhub,... I should have sold when the IDA announced that a licence has been awarded to TPG for the fourth mobile operator rights in SG.

Having said this,... I think I will stop monitoring on PCCW too,...

I can't agree with the above. I invested hard into the ASX, and into Telstra because Telstra has always been a 'dividend darling' with the moms and pops of Australia. But Telstra is having lots of problems in Australia, and had to cut its dividend payout.

After this happened, the sp plunged,... I had to cutloss.

In terms of coverage and size,.. Telstra is the 'China Mobile' of Australia,... so, a large mkt is not always healthy for a telco. We need to compare across the mkts that we invest into.... and to draw experiences from inside to help us decide in other jurisdictions.

recently i added Bank of China instead of HSBC.
i more interested in finding div counters. any recommendation?

suddenly noticed that my AGX banking shares all green and in profit already...

Bruh,... any opinions on CLP ??

Ok, bro,... tks,...

At a price of 53.55, the yield of CKI was at 4.53%. Business is spread out all over the world,... well,... one thing negative for me here is : the dpu is paid out twice a year. I would prefer to get my money earlier,...

CKA pays out 4 times a year,...

Lower yield but paying faster, ie four times a year,... rather than higher yield at 4.53% but paying slower with only two times a year,... wouldn't being able to take our money in-hand for reinvestments be better than waiting longer for our money ?

After all, there is no dividend-handling fees here. If there are dividend-handing fees, then it would be different,...

Opinions, bro(s) ?

Tq bro,..

I'm thinking of GAPACK then if I'm to accept payouts only twice a year ! At least for GAPACK, the yield at current prices is 6.50%. Why would I settle for CKI, paying twice a year only, at a lower yield of 4.53% ?

Only thing is I noticed is GAPACK has been retreating in price since January 14, 2018. Hence,... there could be some weakness in this ctr naturally,... and the low price is not really sentiment-driven by the protests now !

I have not done too much studies onto GAPACK yet,... I'm only using some infos I acquired from Aus which have heard of this company. HK, being a trading centre, would have great packing companies too,...

'Electricity' is an infra entity, and many countries would view this entity as a strategic asset. If regulations change, or the political environment changes, the effect can be huge, especially for an infra co that has so many assets across international boundaries. You can get just one politician who may not like the company, and you can get an overnight change,...

An eg would be like ERM Power in Aus.

But having mentioned GAPACK,... I still have Public Finance (0626.HK) which pays out dividends two times a year,... with a current yield of 7.12%....

Just wanting to add : Investing in the ASX taught me one more important risk,... the angmohs are very conscious of this risk : it's called Regulatory Risk. In the SGX, our attention to Regulatory Risks are not so obvious,... for our SG Gov't is more 'stable'.

I spent the whole day today forumming,... 

Greatview Aseptic Packaging Company Limited (0468.HK)
today drop after div.. drop more than the div.

why u no choose
Hung Hing Printing Group Limited's (HKG:450) ?

also dividend stock.

Globally Greatview is the third largest manufacturer of this packaging and has a market share of around 5%

TetraPak's market share in aseptic packaging declined from 90% to 60-70% in China with domestic players like Greatview Aseptic gaining market share at the expense of TetraPak. In FY2018, Greatview Aseptic's international revenue grew 24.8% YoY to approximately RMB894.0 million, suggesting that the company is gaining market share outside China as well.

hi, im newbie here.

wanna ask which platform to recommend for buying the HK stock and IPO ? 

U guys think that the political risks to HK stocks has abated?

any malaysia brokers can buy HSI stocks?

Sometimes I wonder if there is hidden hands supporting market. Logically speaking, market should be bearish right? Retails, tourism, property outlook, banks all are affected ...,

" HKRMA Calls on Landlords to Halve Rents for 6 Mths; Worries Ongoing Protests May Spark Massive Layoffs & Shutdowns "

From the above,... tying this over to the Festival Walk Mall there, perhaps the SG landlord Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust (MNACT) may be impacted,...

I guessed I have to fallback on what I commented earlier,... after the Global Financial Crisis, investors have becomes smart and are today, holding on to good counters tightly 'to their chest', never letting sentiments affect them too much.

If a counter is really good,... there is really no chance for new investors to go in at a good price.

anyone invested in HK REITs?
