@stkoay you are right. when I heard RHB skyrocketing I was tempted to buy last year but I knew I was too late. also.noticed how RHB you only last 2 years was 40 sens? before that dovidend consistently between 15 to 20 sens. i didnt have time to dig deeper but i sudpect could be n extraordinary event that triggered the sudden surge in dividend payoutwas already

all banks depending on which branche also have bad service. you think Maybank better? all the same

okay.. seems you have done your homework then and have made the choice right for you. good luck

not bad not bad... from paper loss back to paper gain. i might pair down half of PBB holdings and move to Harimau. or save as bullets for next top up to average down. However the dividend from PBB also quite good.... been increasing over last 3 years since 2020 (13 sens), 2021 (15.2 sens), 2022 (17 sens). lets see will decide after August announcement and see

@happybuying another tip which I have shared before with the Harimau fans here last time is that I do not average down just to make it dropped a few sens (which in your case for RHB is only 0.03) this is because you sacrifice possible Maybank dividend of rm1160 i.e. average dividend 0.58 * 2000 in order to average down only 0.03 sens for RHB. worth it? - only you can decide. for me if i want to average down, i make sure that when I average down the price different is at least 5-10 sens depending on the amount i spend (depending on the share price) or i can feel the impact. . if i invest least then 5k to average down 5 sens it is worth it, if i spend 15k-20k it better be at least 10 sens otherwise i would be committing more funds in the counter which may drop further. ever heard of some investors and their 'falling knife' theory? no? its okay, we all live and learn eventually. what would kill you will hopefully make you stronger. day trading is very stressful as you need to monitor daily. question is do you have the stomach to enjoy the roller coaster? for stkoay and myself at this moment we are sitting back enjoying our glass of ice tea and chilling out in the sidelines while we wait for August announcement ;-)

@happybuying depends what is your long term strategy. being a day trader or valued dividend stock investor. calculate your possible annual DY for each stock. whichever gives you the possible higher yield based on the average dividend returns annual ideally should be your choice. on this note, if u managed to buy stock low at low price and enjoy the 'paper gain' and high DY consider your luck. if one chooses to be a day trader, one better be day trading in HUGE volumes. otherwise it's only a waste of your time and cause you to be stressed just to make a quick buck. if day trading is your cup of tea, then if you see the same few old foggies here enjoying their yield and steady income stream, dont ask why they have what they have and what they did the things they do to enjoy where they are now.... peace

@happybuying in addition to just pure Dividends, consider taking up their DRIP when the chance arises. it will pay off handsomely in future too. Nothing beats FREE shares. It lowers your average holding price too! This tip I learn from brother @stkoay

@stkoay, '...bullets to top up when there's sharp correction. A very safe investment strategy. ...'

like last dividend, before ex-date it was last traded at 8.74. I parked my funds at 8.44 for next day expecting it to drop 30 sens before increasing back so try luck to get at the price. of course we all know that it when further down to 8.34. reason why i didn't buy prior to ex-date was because I didn't was to buy at so high a price just to get the dividend and increase my overall average price, for me at least every increase in average price will reduce my buffer should Harimau again drop very low down to below RM8 and I want to plan my 'exit' before then.. additionally, when you buy low, you will also gain when price will go up again eventually .... like now. so its a safer bet for me...

Nobody can tell if another similar catastrophic event or global recession will happen again in future. No one foresaw Germany entered technical recession last 3 weeks. Now the media are saying the same about to happen to Europe too (https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/business/eurozone-in-recession-at-start-of-2023/articleshow/100848910.cms). maybe am playing too safe as an investor but when your life savings at stake better safe than sorry

@aNoobie 70% EPF ... Its currently the best place as it is well managed.

@stkoay, currently 70% stuck at EPF. I'll keep pumping in for next 2-3 years. switching portfolio instead of holding too much liquidity. waiting to capitalise on EPF free annual dividends. As long as I withdraw less than my annual dividends, my EPF should keep on increasing. FYI, am now semi retired (not by choice) and will reach official retirement in a few years time. Hence why less in riskier investments for me. In case anyone wondering, our EPF is currently one of the best managed funds in the world. if the government continue to leave it alone and not interfere in their investments, members will also be good when they retire. Manny like me no choice but need to think out of the box for cashflow liquidity as very soon will soon be unable to find meaningful employment. The government isnt going to help you unfortunately.

For EPF idea, just sharing with fellow Harimau investors only. All it takes is some caring and sharing and we all reap the benefits together. Stay strong, invest smarter and prosper together.

@stkoay thanks for the headsup. Didnt know that had already bump up to 100K as at 1 june 2023. anyway I just topped up to max the balance. going to transfer all from ASN soon too. currently i am at 30/70. TBH Harimau DY is good for me atm as I average down due to previous DIRP issues. but for the amount I invested in Harimau which is almost 12 x which I had invested in YTLP, my paper gain is the same amount... which is sad. on the hindside, if i had switched all my Harimau and add to my YTLP, I would have made at least a cool 291K in clean profit instead of just 15K now! with all that profit, park all in EPF and slowly nibble the yearly dividends!

guys noticed how some share prices jump erratically today?. Bcos today is Quadruple Witching Day, Case in point, Airport got hammered almost daily and today jumped up 16 sens. Happens every quarter 4 times a year. Fund managers doing portfolio rebalancing. I bet monday back to normal. surprised no one play with harimau

@linges youre welcome. I started putting voluntary contribution of 60k this year and i calculated within 4 years together with EPF dividend at minimum 5.0% (drew up a spreadsheet to auto calculate.. if dividend more than 5.0% I will meet my goals faster) I would be able to get free money every year when I retire. that is my goal. I'll sell off most of my portfolio stocks and just maintain Harimau, YTLP and maybe IGBCR for cashflow to spend.

guys not surprised. you all forgot that today is Quadruple Witching Day? Happens every quarter 4 times a year. Fund managers doing portfolio rebalancing. monday back to normal.

Actually if you have more than 1M in EPF, did you know that you can draw down a minimum of 50K each time as long as balance maintain 1M in EPF? at EPF annual dividend of at least 5.+% I figured that as long as you maintain 1.2M in your EPF, you can withdraw 50K 'free' money annually while maintaining 1.2M in your account?. that;s a sweet way to get free money to spend or invest in your share portfolio. sweet idea isn't it?

no problem, if it drops to 8.00 or below I will be only too happy to pump in another 150K-250K to harimau. sit back and wait for dividends. as it stands now, my DY from harimau better than EPF at 7.3%. Beside harimau, my other high DY is YTLP at 7.4%

@Huangbk72 haiya.. that kuching moved on to Maybank d.. still TCSS a bit but dare not full force. Harimau supporters surely wallop one

this is a good dividend stock for me as well

should have allocated more funds earlier and bought a bigger slice way back last uear

I would love to add for YTLP in my portfolio but I hesitate as don't want to increase my low buy in price as this share is long term for me

haha.. price going up. bilis who panic sell kena kencing by sharks and fund managers

higher highs, higher lows..

and MBB is in the fall front of digital banking solutions which unfortunately PBB is trailing behind and depend mostly on deposits and auto segments

part reason why PBB does not perform as well as MBB is bcos MBB has more overseas business income than PBB

rm0.40 to rm0.45 .. am I correct?

Exp: FY20, they paid rm0.17 x 5 = rm 0.85, granted price also 5x, ard rm15-rm16. if divide btly 2 to match MBB, their divi would fall ard

also, tbh, if we compare historical dividend payout, since the last Bonus Issue 1:5, the payout for PBB is actually quite good.

also, be mindful that the next QWD is on June 16, something could come up fast when window dressing comes along

bro @stkoay, not only the ASNB twins, even EPF now doing so.. switching stocks to lock in high divi like YTLP, etc

@dragon 328, thanks bro

Thanks dragon328 for the detail insight on HLS report, may I ask if I could have a copy as well? TIA

somehow got a feeling, they might give shares instead of cash next dividend.. anyone feel the same? seems like every 3 years they give out from treasury shares..

for those who bought cheap like me, i just file into 'No eye see until divi time' and look for opportunities elsewhere during this time

me thinks frying by IBs to shake billis and collect. also apart from BNM expected to maintain rates, a lot waiting for signal on succession ownership of THPs legacy

seraya power plant SG, green data centre coming up

unfortunately my holdings in YtLP is only 10% of MBB, otherwise I already Fatt Tatt lol

@stkoay I went in at 0.67, current up 56%. if DY is still 0.045, returns about 6.7% slightly less than MBB at 7.2%. nevertheless a good alternative seeing PBB is lagging

@stkoay bro check out stock 6742, growth stock.. up 52.6% and good DY too

nice .. above 1.xx... who else want sell take profit mother share? ..

and patiently waiting for IGBREIT to announce next QR

steady only... letting this counter push higher highs and higher lows.. now monitoring my Banking stocks

did you guys see trade at 4.53pm? big sharks park buy at between 0.905-0.91-0.915 and sell between 0.94-0.945-0.95 trapped if u want day trade and cannot escape quickly the jaws of death.... sharks park volume 998 / 997 lots for each band. nice....

@myloh123, my entry at 0.67... looking forward to enjoying my 6.7% DY and also the BIG windfall when they sell off the assets in future ;-)

@hg33 how to add more at 0.60? lowest is 0.63 since borders reopened. that also when trade and commerce just restarted. now most economies in full swing and power consumption for manufacturing and business already almost in full swing, you sure earnings will be worst than before? I doubt it. with sale of electricity to SG and earning in SGD will be good profits. also dont forget when time comes for YTLP to dispose of SG assets another possible BIG Windfall..!!

lol.... lock profit so fast? maybe most bought at high price..... if you want to see whether this stock is worth keeping, see whether the directors buy back or not... since 2022 can see they buy back and obviously EPF collecting now in anticipation of +ve June QR. if you sell now, no guarantee you can buy back low in future. soo...... please continue to sell and lock in profits, let EPF make tons of profit so we can all continue to have high returns next year... TQ

0.95, niceeeee.....

good morning y'all.. US market all green, today Stocks will fly.. hoping Harimau at least pre Ex price 8.73

wah this stock really got power.. @0.91 +35.8% .... go go go...

@stkoay, bro, best to keep low profile especially in the cyber world.. not safe.
