Hi i would like to take out 1k from unit trust and to invest 1k in high pay dividen stock? is it feasible? for 1k, is it still better in FD?

It is possible to sell ur unit trust anytime....

With 1k in hand you are not enuff to buy any dividend stock...

Well I wouldn't say not enough, but the costs of buying the stock with such a small amount may make the dividend payouts looks small and comparable to the amount of charges you pay for the initial transaction. But if you can forget that initial fee, then keep it for a long time. The % amount you earn from your RM1k in a high dividend yield counter is definitely better than fixed Deposit. But the risks of capital depreciation (share drops) is there.

I think generally companies cannot afford to pay out good dividends from now on or next year. CASH could be the mere weapon for them to survive in bad times.

They could also consider the chances that they could miss if big bargains coming next year or so.

Just 2sen opinion.

Been eyeing on Guiness, anyone own this stock?

Notice that it hardly move. always around RM5-RM6.

yup, very steady counter. anything below $5 would be a good grab.
next monday (13/10) should be announcing Final Dividend.
buy & keep, alchohol-related counters tend to surge during CNY time.
you may sell into rallies by Jan/Feb 2009

GUINESS less liquid... so tis "fat" div counter's price wont fluctuate much... same goes for BJTOTO, JTINTER, CARLSBG, people will not sell cause they r giving handsome div

No longer own, got it for a long time, one of my favourite. Sold off when it reached 5.80-6.00 back then.

It seldom moves on both way, a pure dividend income stock. Even it moves, it tends to stuck in tight range.

Dividend wise is indeed quite good, from previous around 36 cents, 39 cents, 42 cents, 45 cents. But if you wish to have significant capital appreciation like others ordinary stock, then it most probably will disappoint you.

i'm delighted when i see GUINESS at 4.98

With this kind of market condition, people drink more Tiger Beer, haha.

drink drank drunk!!! hehhe, drunk liao no need to worry about the market.

hahha, but CARLSBG better rite? cheaper + the div not much differ frm GUINESS... no?

Tiger is betting on Chinese sentiment like funding for Chinese education. Carlsbg on games like footballs.

Tiger does capture some of Carl markets.
