beginners normally do not have 'big' fund to invest in high dividend share...(high dividend normally for top maket capitalise stocks),, wht is in their mind in active stocks/ (penny) to have fast return..hope those beginners take ur advice..

Jordy...i eyeing on this stock quite some time...only i'm still thinking of this counter price is a bit high..my target price is RM11.60, that y i don do anything yet before discuss with all big gunn here..hehe even though i'm topgunn here..
i'll expecting tomolo opening price will be at least 30 cts above..i'll Q at 12.60 in 9:00 a.m tomolo, hope can get thru...

Well, wht u quoted is right also..wht is in my mind is only to hold this share less than a month..i foresee there will be a sudden surge due to dividend payout..if u will look back the price chart similar date (announcement on dividend in 2007). 3/1/07 RM9.50 (announcement date) next day surge 40cts to RM9.90 close. Within a month b4 ex-date in feb 07 price surged to RM11.00; Past profit 11.00 - 9.80 = 1.20; I assume the price may surge to RM 14.00 within a month before ex-d. I'll make RM1.40 within a month. Of course..if market is too valatile, i must be wrong..Any way no risk no gain..(pick small volumn)..this is not an investment. For safer..Of course i'll only pick it after ex-D...Thanks.

Ex-Date has not announced yet..i think will be soon or later this week.. price will up after the ex-date announcement..


KUALA LUMPUR: LPI Capital Bhd has declared a special dividend of 25 sen and a final dividend of 55 sen for the fourth quarter ended Dec 31.

Including the interim dividend of 30 sen less 27% tax that was paid in June, this brings the total dividend to RM1.10 for the year ended Dec 31 (FY07).

Revenue rose 16.5% to RM551.6mil in FY07 against RM473.5mil in the previous year. Pre-tax profit increased 10.2% to RM121.8mil from RM110.5mil in FY06.

Earnings per share improved to 63.8 sen from 56.6 sen previously.

The strong performance was attributed to an increase in premium income by 16.5% to RM494.3mil.

LPI was anticipated to record "another year of positive results for 2008," said chairman Tan Sri Teh Hong Piow in a statement yesterday.

He noted that wholly owned unit Lonpac Insurance Bhd continued to produce consistent underwriting profits, thanks to prudent and selective underwriting of general insurance.

The solvency margin surplus of RM75.5mil above the minimum required margin of RM490.2mil as at end Dec was a reflection of the group's financial stability, he said.

Last year, LPI was awarded the Sectoral Winner in Financial Services Category in the KPMG Shareholders Value Award 2006 and the Malaysian Business Corporate Governance Merit Award 2006.

I grab this morning at 12.60; decision is in ur hand...good luck

GOD Bless..Hopefully the Ex-Date annoucement for LPI...CI is up trend that day..

Ya..This is what we (Jordy & me) expected. 55+25=80cts (FD+SD).
Interim+Final=RM0.30 + RM0.80= RM1.10; It's DY= RM1.10/RM12.60=8.7%
Mate..this is what we talk abt, high dividend share in this forum!!!!

i bought 1,000 shares today @ RM10.60 to try the trend. Will keep more after ex-date..

APOLLO - food industry really can growth?

I bought in today @ RM12.60 1,000 shares..that is not enough. remember!? i told u i'll only hold for the 1st mth..my expectation LPI will surge to TP RM14.00 in a mth time, i will sell out this 1,000 shares to make few hundred..After Ex-D, price will adjusted, then ppl start selling price will drop some more...i'll pick again in the lowest price...(i think <11.00 if possible).

**Should be good news for MayBank share holders right, why the share price drop today?

You will entiltle dividend as long as you hold/buy before ex-Date. Pls take note that the share price will be adjusted after the ex-Date.
Example - PBBank RM11.30 (before ex-date) dividend 0.20
Next market day, price will adjusted to RM11.10 and you will received you cheque on 0.20 dividend.
