They only obliged to do so if they have significant interest (>5% normally, or insider...). They normally won't hold >5% in one company (with exception for PNB).

So, due to not an intention of being one of the major shared holders, with a huge capital and based on equity trade sell profit/dividends, should they considered as one of the 'sharks'?

hey there people,
what is the "C' means beside my stock?

Dividends ...

brother, where to check huh?im refering to sealink.dunno how come today volume so low.

I think that's not possible to cover every aspect of life, bro...
You can see law & accounting, rules after rules & standards after standards but people still manage to fool around with them...
Sometime only GOD can control

C stands for Cum-dividend......that is dividend soon to be issued.
X stands for Ex-dividend.....dividend has been issued.

The volume for Sealink last time is this low. If like me you have monitored this counter since May, you will not feel that this volume of any concerns. Recently high volumes due to people want to eat oily food. Now they all in hospital already, so its back to what its volume should be.

For dividends you can check Bursa site.

Ex-date = 1 July2009
PayDate = 17 july 2009

My question:
1. Can still buy on 1 july ?
2. Can sell before pay date as it got symbol "X" now?


Thank you

1. to get the div? NO.... u must get it b4 ex-date
2. payment date is just the date they issue out the cheque...

2. that means i can sell now? and still entitle for dividend?

Yes.

Hi,

can you all suggest where to start learning technical analysis if i'm a beginner in stock market..?

Hi guru,

can someone please guide me how i can know what are the top 30 highest dividend company in malaysia ?

Why do you want to know the Top 30 highest dividend company in Malaysia.
It is just a waste of time.
If High dividend can increase your chances to profit in share market, then, you just need a list of Top 3 instead of top 30.
Don't tell me you plan to buy stock that ranked number 27th or 29th right ?

If you are beginner in stock market, then start by learning basic investment, accounting and how to read financial report.
Do not waste your precious time and energy on method that has been proven "fallacious" by Nobel price winner in Math and Economy.
Even all the super investors and richest men say the same thing.
Why ? You think you are better then them ?

Hi Nagisa,

I intend to get high dividend company for long term investment, for the case of top 30, i would like to know which are those affordable and suit to my profile

short question, how can i gain those info ?

Jamal, you can visit this website which has a pretty good beginner's guide to Technical analysis. Though it is geared towards Forex trading, most of the terms and basics are the same. Only the strategy is different. Babypips Training

Hmmm I'm not aware of anywhere you can get a list of those. Normally only see such list which are independently compiled and it changes frequently as share prices moves.

My best suggestion is the REITs counters which are naturally high in dividends, as most counters are at least above 5% DY.

Others on top of my head would be; (not in any order)

1. YTLPOWER
2. DIGI
3. BAT
4. GUINESS
5. CARLSBERG
6. JTI
7. PBBANK
8. PANAMY
9. LPI
10. AMWAY
11. UCHITEC


You can try to check the "Dividend Counters" thread as well, might get some ideas from there.

Hi Nagisa - Everyone has their own cup of tea. There's Technical Analysis and Fundamental Analysis.

There is no right way or wrong way. Nobel Prize winning economists can write up what they want, do what their research are. There are so many factors out there for the individual trader, that no one way can be determined as right or wrong. Mind share who is this Nobel Prize winning economist and the title of his study?

Hi Jamal - TA books are available in bookstores. Best to go online and check it out first. I suppose since you are online you will have access to internet. Find out more about TA and how its used in stock markets. Mind you, your mathematics has to be good. You will need to understand how the charts are read, what are candlesticks, stochastics, moving average, convergence, divergence, etc. and then also how to identify what you see - dark cloud cover, hammer, spinning top..... Not mean to scare you, but be ready.

Hi Officeboy - Last years top dividend company may not be this year top dividend company. What you are looking for is a top dividend company that can consistently give you good dividends, whether economy is up or down.

skiddtrader already provided one list. Its a good list, and i have 2-3 counters in there. But you also need to learn how to understand their financial reports, because from there you can determine the company performance and whether it will continue to give you exemplary dividends. You can start with the list provided by skiddtrader but mind you, some of the syarikat syarikat are not murah....

Cheers

Nope .... there is no way TA can help in analysing stock in share market.
Warren Buffet, Munger, Peter Lynch, Fridson, Alvarez are all very successful in stock and say TA is fallacious although it is popular.
The only one say TA can help is conman in the advertisement and all the name who we never heard off in stock market.

Thanks Skiddtrader !!

How can we go find out REITs counters ?
