They do get affected because there is usually mismatch of tenure between the FDs and the loans. You will get lower margin for a few months.

Ya very strange. Maybe national team in action? Coz new PM met the funds early this week.

Anyway, good to time for me to exit my PBB positions. Will hold Maybank.

Why exit? Public Bank still good share no?

I so miss 8.2

day trader??

Yes, good stock. But the way it has gone up is like there was no interest rate cut n cure for Covid19 has been found.

Swing trader haha. PBB dividend ex date is 11 March, but I feel nowadays better take profit fast fast.

Hi guys, I have few questions:-

1) when this 0.39 dividend is set to be paid out?
2) when is the cut off date to buy this mbb share?
3) if buy now, do i still entitled this 0.39 dividend?

Appreciate all the advices! Thank you.

They haven't announced details. But looking at past years, ex date is early May and payment is early June. You must hold by ex date to get dividends. U can sell on ex date n will still get the dividends.

Thanks bro for your input. Meaning that buying their shares this month or next month is still possible right since ex date is on May?

think got ppl goreng Maybank until dividend day then it will drop again. no logic to it's price hike today.

Ya, but remember that stock price doesn't stay still waiting for u. Secondly, on ex date price will drop to adjust for dividends.

Probably true, waiting for ex date to buy more 👀👀

On Ex Date price will drop, and I buy on that day itself, still entitled dividends?

No. The amount of the drop should equal to the amount of dividend paid.
Technically there is no difference in gains if you buy before (entitled to dividend) or on ex-date (not-entitled to dividend).

Oh boy..
U needed to understand how dividend & ex price work first..
Entitled date etc.

Needed to know basic first 😉

That's the reason he is asking here?

At least he dare buy, you just comment only.. 😆

sorry for being noob... still new in stock market and i am still learning... i appreciate and thank you for the info/guidelines given to me by all the sifu-sifu / otai-otai here... next time i will do some homework before i ask ya... take it easy & happy friday!

I like to imagine it like an open top barrel, half filled with water. Occasionally someone pours out the water from the barrel, that's the dividends. The water level in the barrel will fall. There is, however, a tap that continues to drip water into the barrel. That's the profits and the water level will go up again. Until someone pours out the water again.

Now the tricky part is that this dripping water is not very consistent one. Sometimea a lot, some time less. This is where investment skill comes in. U buy the barrel based on how u expect the tap will flow.
