Heard that Panasonic Japan is having problem in their plasma TV sector due to competition from Samsung & LG. Similar story closer to home with Panasonic Spore. Electrical revenue for Spore has dropped, relying more on revenue from the medication sector, as per the recent newspaper.

With this gloomy headwind, will Panasonic M'sia continue to give such high dividend ? Appreciate your comments. Thanks,

What do you guys think of Amway as dividend payer ? My concern is the association with the USA's volatile economy with its parent company in the USA.

Any other good dividend paying stocks ?

Thanks.

Also interested and thus did some homework.

Luxchem DY 2009 = 12.1 - 5.7, 2010 = 8.1 - 6.3, 2011 = 8.4 - 7.0 (dividend range - based on the highest and lowest share price for the year).

Can't find data for the 2nd company.

Good one to invest ?

A head-up for those with FD in BR and the like. I don't quite understand the report and hope one with banking/financial knowledge can summarise the problem in 1 or 2 sentences for lay-person like me. Thanks. I now have 80% of my FD in BR. So, need to keep a close eye on this.

Read it twice and I still don't see the problem. Lending too much for personal finance and thus higher NPL (non performing loan) potential? The lenders are mainly govt servants and the NPL issue will only be a problem if the govt is in dire strait financially. So ...?

I put it here more as an alert for those with FD in BR. Then they can decide whether to continue their deposits there or not, if it is really that risky.

Cheerio.

Wah!

If you don't mind, what were your portfolio annual total returns (dividends & capital) for the past 3 years? Just curious.

Cheerio.
