hi guys, i have some questions here:

2) What's the minimum LOT to buy ?

Nowadays I just realised some investors are only rely on the dividend counter as their income, my question is, does it mean for every quarter there will be a dividend? or it only paid once per year? Assume that this is a good counter like TM, or Digi or Maybank or whatever it is ..  . How the dividend distributed? 3 month? 6 month? or more than a year?

BJTOTO would be the best counter wic never late in giving div quarterly 

3 months? 

Okies, how about this example :
Can you give a little summary about this and how to read it?

P/s: Noob here ..

So, if 1 shares split into two. Isn't that it's still the same value in price?

Example:

1 lot= 1000 shares = Rm 1

After entitlement :

Split 1 share to become two share but par value half : 2 shares : (1000+1000) = 2000 share = Rm 1

Like that? Or I'm too noob here ..

Owh, the important one is the premium, if no premium, there's no profit right?

this is a nice piece of info... thanks for sharing

Hi, I'm viewing online live stock data provided by my broker. Is the dividend per share net of the 25% tax or gross dividend?

No means, net or gross?

Thanks.
Wow, means if the dividend yield is 10%, then the after tax dividend is only 7.5%. This sucks.

I'm in a low tax bracket. That's why I feel dividend income...straightaway deduct 25% for tax (if no imputation) is expensive.

Hi all,

Please bear with me as I am new to the world of stock exchange.

My basic question is what should one do with your stocks?

My remisier's answer is sell at higher price than I buy and make profit. To me that sounds like a gold prospector/speculator rather than as a true investor.

Now to explain my train of thoughts:

I am having a regular source of income (as in having a regular 9-5 job).

I have extra saving by not spending more than I earn.

I used to put my money in FD.

I realized that money in FD was very lazy... it is giving me lousy returns that will not beat inflation.

I have been buying dividend yielding counters hoping that they will give me better Rate of return than FD, I am targeting a conservative yield of 8 - 10%. I am not speculative, but I rather buy them small pieces at a time with the amount I am comfortable with (based on my budget)

I want to keep these dividend yielding counters as part of my retirement plan, hoping that they will give a source of income after I am unable to work anymore.

However, my remisier thinks that my plan is a joke. He cannot understand why I want to keep the stocks when I can make a profit during a bull run.

I cannot understand why I must do like he said.

I hope to hear from second, third or fourth opinions.

Thanks.

I intend to buy regularly, but of course not as regular as those speculators.
Yeah, will KIV during the bull run period. But I don't see it happening in the near future... maybe late 2009 or 2010. I think now is a good time for bargain hunting. 12 months of bargain hunting/sale period... better than our Malaysian Mega Sales eh, which only last one month?

I guess I see myself as the tortoise rather than the hare. Strutting along leisurely along the road called life. Picking up my "rezeki" along the way, using it prudently and whatever is left once I reached the finish line (aka death) I'll give to my next of kin or charity which ever need it more, since I cannot bring it along to my grave.

Sorry for my rambling... biz is slow these days.

P/S So far I have in my portfolio: Tanjong, Carlsbg, Guiness, Amway, Toto, a little bit of here and there.

Xuzen

Understood... cash in FD/Savings targeted at 3 to 6 mths of take home pay equivalent.

If you experienced people have anymore stable high dividend yielding counter to suggest please feel free to put it here or PM me. Thanks.

So far I have a simple screening plan... I select stocks that have PE btw 10 - 15 and DY above 8%. From this short list, only then will I zoom in to study the individual stocks. Its past history, accounting ratios etc...

P/S Chemical Company Malaysia (CCM) looks good to me, and if CI hits 700 or below, I am going in to grab Bursa share especially if it falls to RM 4.50 below.

Hey people,

I got a new question. This is regarding AGM. If I have like 100 shares in Nestle and another person has 10,000 units in Nestle.

When it comes to voting, is it like I have 100 votes and the other person has 10,000 votes?

How does the shareholder vote work?
