May i ask a dump question. Lots of you seem to be sifus here. For a beginner like me, how and where should i look up for information pertaining to some potential and cheap shares?

Just feeling lost, and dont wanna just be a follower, following what others buy without doing proper research.

Thanks.

any good and comprehensive investment book to recommend to a newbie and yet not to dry?

thanks.

what is the difference btw the following 2?


1) The above Company's securities will be traded and quoted [ "Ex - Dividend" ]
as from : [ 6 May 2010 ]

2) The last date of lodgement : [ 10 May 2010 ]

i know for (i) so long is bought before the date and sell after the date will also get dividen

what abt (2)

thanks

jz to ask if we trade online do we have to give the remiser fees?

no wonder my remiser was quite pissed when i asked him abt online dealing thingy
haha

hi wanna ask the following:

how do we calculate the following:
1. Final ordinary dividend of 5% per share of RM0.20 each less tax at 25%
2. Special dividend of 2% per share of RM0.20 each less tax at 25%

1A does that mean once we get 1 we wil not be getting any dividend until the next financial year?

2A giving free shares and dividend, which is better?

3A 红股 in english is what?

4A is it when a company has issued a NOTICE OF BOOK CLOSURE that would mean is about time to give dividend?

5A can i say In-dividend & Ex-dividend technically are the same (alth i know it differentiate the entitlement of dividend).
I am saying it same because even if we buy ex-dividend counter, the price will deduct the dividend allocated. so technically we suffer no lost even we buy at ex0dividend date. correct?

cheers
