Guyz, i need some consultation... The stock i bought, I've bought quite a number of different stock. I meant to hold for long term investment, but, is it wise I take profit once in awhile? Rather than just see book profit and poof there goes the book profit.... While selling off your my holding, i may not be able to get the the attractive price i bought years ago...
I'm in such a dilemma now...
good question.
i think our senior here like cherroy, dreamer101, etc will be able to answer you well.
but from my observation, they hardly sell, unless, the company is not doing well or they are no longer in good fundamentals, then maybe you may consider to take profit...

Hey guys,
i saw my contract note from OSK, it stated that the share i bought, AISB has this:
cum dividend: exdate 5/6/2008
is this mean i will be entitled for dividend on 5 june 2008?
what will happen after this date? will the share price drop?
if they really pay the dividend, does any one know normally how much? how they pay you?
thanks in advance....

Added on May 17, 2008, 8:29 amhey guys, one more thing,
how do we check whether is a dividend counter or not?
you must buy a day before the exdate.
thereotically price will be revised after exdate, depending on how much dividend they give you.
how they pay us the dividend? some directly bank into your acc, some sending cheque to your house.
