Thanks for sharing. Yes it is a very useful list. But Panajie has an awesome list of div cum growth stocks in her portfolio, however most are very highly priced stocks. Not within reach of humble investors like me.

True, but my funds are limited. So my purchases are normally limited to between 1 - 2K each time per counter and to accumulate over time.. An example is Digi which has now come to my range of affordability after the 10:1 bonus. Well one day perhaps I'll reach that level.........

Added on December 24, 2011, 7:34 pmThanks for sharing your 'secret'. You're an inspiration for all of us wannabe successful long-term investors. Wished these big-ticket counters do more share splits ala Digi.

I've recently negotiated with a broker that's giving me 0.25% brokerage and no minimum brokerage and no upfront cash. So I can now buy small amounts of any counter each time without penalty of min. comm. Only complaint is the Gomen Stamp Duty which is per RM1K instead of 0.01%. So I always try to maximise that by buying as close to RM1K or 2K.

You mean you can get:
1. No minimum brokerage of RM8?
2. Up to 2X trade funding for cash in your trust account and up to 2X the aount of shares you have?
That would be wonderful. If that is so, I think there will be a long queue for HLe.

But I'll check all the same as I, and I think most traders too, are looking for the best deals. That's why the forum here is a great place to share our experience and deals which we think can give us the edge

That's much better. But no need cash upfront to place buy bids? You must be one lucky fella, or HLe just simply like you.
OR
you kuehteow la......

I think brotan is correct la... at least that's what happens technically and reflected in the closing price (green/red). But occassionally, like Digi and a few others it goes North even after div N bonus, like some of panajie's shares ...

After the X-date the share price is immediately reflected (minus the dividend paid). Whether the price then goes up or down depends on how the market feels about the subject counter. Doesn't matter whether you 'feel' good or not. but in most cases (so far as I know) most counters go south after the Xdate. Some real solid counters like panamy, dlady, digi, and a few others (where the market is confident of the continuing growth and performance) will continue north even after the Xdate.

don't really understand your question. Do realise that the div paid out comes out from the real value of the company, thus it is immediately reflected in the share price on X date. Example if the share closing price immediately before X date is RM1.00 and the dividend is Rm0.20, then on X date it is RM0.80.

But if you are asking wheter a co. that gives div is better than ones that don't, then of course I believe it is, because div comes from real cash (not just paper profits which can be easily manupulated). But there are of course exceptions.

Yup. Excellent companies. But like anything else, do buy a little at a time and not all at one go. No one knows when is the lowest or bottom, so best to average out over time and accumulate these shares.

my1ststep only deals with fundamentally sound counters, so u can bet they are. but no harm doing your own research.

Absolutely. Timing is everything in trading. That's why I use the RSI model to help me find good entry and exit points. It does not work all the time (as pointed out by dinamika) but is simple and effective enough to work in the long run (anywhere from 3 to 5 years). You may lose out some opportunities during a bull run and sell a little too late during a crash if you only use the RSI. But for fundamentally sound high dividend yielding companies, the risk is much lower.

But seriously, how often does one see a super bull run or a market crash? I think many of us are anxiously waiting for the next market crash in a while now.

You can always use charts to help you to time your purchases and sales to help you with these shares. If you are more conservative, then rely more on RSI, and if you are more aggressive then you may want to try StochRSI. I've appended below the charts for these 3 counters which you mentioned. If you use RSI then there will be just a couple of times a year which you can buy and sell these shares. But if you use StochRSI then the window opens wider (of course so does errors).

Have a look at them and see if you can apply them to help you make more money.

umm yummy div cumming....
but looking at the charts and if using the rsi, they look like currently closer to the overbought position.

How's that even possible? RESPECT!!
