Outlook is definitely negative but i doubt it would affect the share prices much. oil prices also rose back to 40 dollars. unless got some craazy mega company default their loans.

Broker notified me today Maybank Trade down. just use online browser M2U Online Stocks

Not sure if i get your question correctly (you are asking whether you can trade with your M2U account?)

I suppose you can, if you have your brokerage CDS account linked with it

Unfortunately for Maybank (Traditional banks in general) you still need to walk in physical branches. Google where got Maybank Equity Investment Centre (EIC), and ask for Direct CDS (my recommendation), pay RM 10 registration fee, wait for 1 to 3 weeks to process your CDS account then can trade with the Maybank Trade.

You can also explore Nominee account in the form of Rakuten, M+ online etc.

U can have direct CDS with Mplus.

Oh okay, never tried it so i have no idea about that ~ maybe you guys can give him some recommendations

Honestly im just looking to collect at 7.60 to average down my buying cost haha (rip 8.90)

Anyways if dividend remains strong, will definitely boost up retail Investor’s confidence (can also see that institutional funds are acquiring more lately)

So much volatility incoming for this H2 2020: US election, Malaysia Election?, OPR cut, loan moratorium period, Covid induced NPL :0

Anyways tough times brothers

I only buy below 7.8.

Have to sapu now.

Sept will be div ? Which will be high.

The dilemma is take div or sell off for profit?

What strategy?

Almost finish bullet.

Wait for next month load bullet. Hopefully still remain low. 

The q for sell is long. Easy to sell?

If sell profit higher than div, might just sell off ? Dilemma.

According to people here. is sept.

No cash problem.

Just want to know how people here best plan to get most of the profit from this. Sell off vs div.

I m new here and just start this in Apr. Also lucky enough to get the 1st div in Apr.

Of course each person have his own way to invest.

Wow your entry at April must be at a really good price (7.50 ish?)

That said if I were you, there’s 2 options to go with
1) Keep the holding even after dividend, but of course we all know the upcoming volatilities. Check the upcoming dividend and use that to gauge the DPS growth and calculate your fair value using the DDM method (if growth maintains as previous should fall around RM 8.3x, at 8 or 10% return i cant remember) - but this is just me, you may have different interpretations

2) As your current intention, sell it after divi (not really an option for me because I dont buy large caps/dividend stock to sell them after dividend, imo the profit is probably too minimal, would prefer to hold them for extended period of time)

Just my 2 cents worth of personal opinion, do what you do beat with your current strategy ^^

Hi, what I mean is, these "high dividend yield" stocks usually promise a good % of yield every year, but their capital value are probably dropping year-on-year if their growth is not sustainable (note that, a higher dividend payout would mean lesser reinvestment into the company for business expansion and growth).

So, Net Annualized return for you and me as an investor (i.e. your Return on Investment), is

Net annualized return = Dividend Yield + Capital gain/losses

In this context, I believe the capital losses of the companies in the list outshadows the dividend yield, which is why 1 of the forumer here mentioned: beware of "dividend trap".

Lets take BAT(4162) for example, over the course of 1 year, their share price slide from RM 22.50/share to RM10.40/share.

in terms of capital loss, thats about -53% in terms of capital value lost.

If my memory serves me, they have been pretty consistent in providing high dividend yield to their shareholders (around 9-10%++?).

So the annualized net return in this case, should you have invested in BAT 1 year ago from today, is approx. -40% ish.

Of course, taking BAT as an extreme example wouldn't be fair for other dividend stocks (there are good dividend stocks with sustainable growth), but this is just to illustrate what i've meant.

I hope this clarifies.

Cheers

I only buy defensive blue chip dividend stocks as of now.
Probably won't lose all money before retirement 😅

Maybank at last minute shot up 💪 RM7.30😃

Having said this, Maybank shares dropped to RM4 during the sub-prime crisis. So I'd reasonably expect the bottom to be RM4. Anything lower than that probably will just hold until it recovers.
