If it drops 10% n bounce back to RM8.9+ then it makes no difference.. Or it might shoot past that to 10 or 11.

And at end of Aug they usually announce interim divvy.. Thts Sure Angpow.

DeuBank has been a sick bank for many years..

Price now is like half the price of a glass of Starbucks Frapucinno.. I'm sure can afford if u want. U get to own biggest Malaysian bank n No. 4 in Asean. .

Or u want to wait for price like mamak sirap ais? 😆

U know can buy 100 shares right??
No more minimum 1000 shares...

So what u waiting for...
Buy now 😁👍

Any stock u buy, u have to watch out for minimum brokerage.
Rather than 100 shares a month, maybe better 600 shares every 6 months.

Just enter maybank for dividend yield (replace FD) and maybe agm door gift lol

Dividend last year / stock price

Maybank 2018 dividends : RM0. 57
Price: RM8.90 (lowest today morning session)

Dy: 6.4%

Of course, dividend this year is not yet known. No guarantee that it will be 57 sen.

But past 5 years their payout has always been above 50 sen with average of 55 Sen.

2018: 57 sen
2017: 55 sen
2016: 52 sen
2015: 54 sen
2014: 57 sen

I'm looking out today for Maybank 1H/2Q results. Let's see iif the results are as bad as the price action indicates. Also inter divvy...$$$.

If u think the US and China fight will get worse soon then don't buy any stocks, banking stocks or otherwise. Buy bonds, gold or keep cash.

but banking stocks will only be indirectly affected, no? Especially Malaysia is so far away. Even the US financial crisis, we weren't affected much right??

2nd Q: how much longer will Trump be president? I assume if he's no longer the president, the trade war will be over?

Best place to be in a recession is Govt Bonds as Central Banks will cut rates. But as rates are already low, they will have to go to 0 or negative in some countries, n will also start QE.. Great for gold. For Gold I like Goldetf.

Many central banks have loose monetary policy now. And these could have postponed recession. Good for banks then.

Or maybe it's all just false hope?

You buy nothing if you have crystal ball to know recession is coming for sure.
Recession - business slow - NPL rise - Bank less profit or loss.

You buy high quality bond if you know recession is coming, as this is where money can be made during recession.

At current situation, we have slowdown, not recession.
There is a big different with slowdown growth vs recession.

Just enjoy the dividends and save up more bullets to average down if opportunity arises.
I bought my first tranche at 9.6x range, and has since been averaging down to 9.08. Still on paper loss now but the dividends could easily cover for that.

Loose monetary policy - low interest rate, inject more liquidity (cash) into financial system.

The risk, inflation and potential bubbling of sector (like property, stock market, bonds etc).

Normally it is not advisable using "time the market" strategy to invest in stock market especially for good stocks, like predict when the stock is bottom or top, or when recession is going to hit.

Those prediction is harder than predict 4D number, unless one has crystal ball to see it. 
Boom and burst is always cyclical, so does stock market.

Rm7. 00 I will withdraw my epf n put in Maybank. RM4, I will refinance my house n put in Maybank.. 😆
