Lodgement date is the date the company records who are entitled for the dividends - the one who are holding or bought the shares 1 day before the ex-date. So if you want to be entitled for the dividend, make sure you bought the shares before the ex-date. If you want to sell your shares while still getting the dividends at the same time, sell it on the ex-date or beyond.

You can either go to http://biz.thestar.com.my or Company Announcements in www.klse.com.my

Revenue or sales growth rate is not so important compared to EPS, dividends and cash flow growth rate. This is because sales growth can be good but bad cost management can cause profit growth to be poor.

EPS growth rate = (Current year EPS - Previous year EPS)/Previous EPS x 100

For comparison between companies of the same industry, I would prefer to take "average annual compounded growth rate" taken in a period of 5 or 10 years instead of just 1 year. This is to overcome the problem of cyclical fluctuations in earnings.

The formula for "average annual compounded growth rate" can be found in my previous post #1291 here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/609001/+1280
Formula similar with the one for Operating Cash Flow growth rate.

It's..ahemm..a secret..

Yes, you need to adjust the historical year EPS to make comparison because even though the net profits are still the same, the total outstanding shares have changed. So you need to make the adjustment based on the current total outstanding shares.

Yes, you can bid to buy/sell after 6pm but before 12 am. Your order will be confirmed by Bursa the next morning. This is what I usually do with Maybank as well.

It is better to do research first before buying any stocks, even at a small portion

Yes correct

If you meant dividend yield of 2% from your initial purchase price, then yes

I recommend Dynaquest's Stock Performance Guide http://www.dynaquest.com.my

Supermx exercised a 1:4 Bonus Issue, meaning 1 Bonus Share for every 4 shares held. So the adjusted price for 6.77 will be 5.41 (6.77 x 4/5).
That's why you see green for prices above 5.41

You didn't experience massive lost. Your buy price of 7.05 translate to 5.64 after Bonus Issue. Are you using a nominee CDS account? For nominee CDS account, it could take 7 days for the Bonus shares to show in your account. Same thing happen to me.

Just open a trading account with Jupiter, HLe, or Maybank etc. Just sit at home and watch
