Nowadays you can trade 1 lot with 100 shares, so 10.00 or 1.00 make no different.

10.00 you buy 10 lots equal to 10K, 1.00 stock you buy 100 lots, still equal to 10K, so what price or whether got split or not makes no different at all, as you can trade as low as 100 shares, which equivalent to 1K per lot only.

protonw,

To accumulate big cap stocks like PBBANK, you will have to increase your capital by the thousands (though you are only buying 100 each time). Smaller cap stocks < RM3 can be bought with only RM300 for 100 units. That is the only difference.

Also, when buying small cap stocks, the possibility for appreciation is higher. So you could have sustainable dividend and capital appreciation.

Well I only have Digi. no idea about BAT cos i feel that its too expensive lolz

Yes, you are right.

Seriously no one looks at the reserves or retained profit they have, in order  to give special dividends year in year out.

To me this co is downsizing  quite a lot . Reserve drops to mere rm 33m, a big part generated from Other Incomes and Gain from disposal of property ( totaling  70% ) and EPS is at best 28sen ? previously 46sen. Operating profit is about rm 9m a year from 500m turnover.

Bank bal is low at 28m

Where is the  rm One dividend to come from  ?
"Too high a hope may result greater disappointments " in the future.

Good luck to all.

And plse correct me if I am wrong.
