tolle: I think so also....pakat pakat to ensure low DRP price...because they know management very kiamsiap, gives low discount so they ensure that they get best price...

Acutually, discount for DRP can go up to 10%....

PNB disposed 2.855M shares on 7-9-21, the last day of DRP price fixing.

@tolle...during songlap king time.....KLCI hit all time high 1800+ leh......haha.

tolle, is your name Yong Siew Yoon?

Saw this name on MBB top 30 shareholders.

Haha....staypositive, you start accumulate now, when you retire, you also, will be very rich...cheers :)

Wow...my estimate is the closest :p

Got RM1846 discount....can buy nasi lemak for many months....haha.

@tolle....actually for normal investors like us, lower discount and higher price is better (it doesn't make a lot of difference to us)....because if too high a discount, there will be more profit taking by funds like EPF and PNB...resulting more selling pressure.... to us, how the share perform make more difference than the discount.

@choysun.....my guess +/- 7.70.....about 30 sen (3-4%) discount from ex price

tolle : welcome...used up my allocation, bought last batch at 8.27 just now.

Yes, during DRP 20, announcement of price and ex date is next day after Bursa approval...and price fixing is till the day of announcement of Bursa approval...if same, means till today.

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 7): Malayan Banking Bhd's (Maybank) foreign shareholding rebounded to 16.28% as at Aug 27, 2021 after foreign investors appeared to have accumulated more Maybank shares in the two weeks since Aug 13, 2021, according to the latest updates on Maybank’s website.

CIMB also.... is about to announce it's DRP price...same same also down today.

tolle...not I jaga here....but the big boys jaga MBB DRP price fixing till the very last day....today should get approval from Bursa...they are still pushing down...haha.

I still got allocation for 10...will buy during pre closing.

Haha...tolle...15k if buy MBB...it's kacang putih only...2 lots also not enough....

Juliana, betul. Beli yang untung and ada beri dividend memang lebih safe dari yang rugi dan tak ada dividend dan tak tahu bila boleh pulih untung...haha :)

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 6 — Total monthly foreign net inflow reached RM1.1 billion in August this year, the first monthly foreign net inflow after 25 consecutive months of foreign net outflow, said Bank Islam Malaysia Bhd economist Adam Mohamed Rahim.

Haha.....all MBB Club members also very rich leh....this stock is not for trader to play play...but long term investor to buy and keep :)

@jeff....yes Tenaga is also a good stock to keep....try to get some at 9.9+ on 24-8-21 but my Q didn't matched....gave up after it broke 10 the next day :(

https://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/ptres/59261.jsp

hi jeffchan, last year I bought into Mahsing (average 0.65), CIMB (average 3.49), Genting (average 3.80) and RHB (average 4.52).

I started buying MBB only March this year after most stocks that I follow have rebounded sharply...and I only find value in MBB then, which is low beta, stable and gives one of highest dividend yield.

Recently, I have taken profit on some of the stocks I bought last year and switch the proceed to add MBB.

If you do home work and read their 5 years plan (Target to achieve EPS of more than 100 sen), MBB not only provide a good steady stream of dividend but also very good potential of high capital appreciation in the next few years.

As a long term value investor, MBB is now my No.1 holding.

@tolle...over here you are the pioneer/sifu...we still need to learn from you.
What I shared is just 2 sen from my observation.
...and I observed from the previous DRP...the closing price on ex date was the same as the closing price on announcement date....meaning during the period, the share price gained 39 sen.

@tolle...based on past record, Bursa only takes 1 to 2 days to give approval. When they apply, I guess DRP price has most likely already been determined.
Announcement of ex date will most likely after obtaining approval from Bursa....probably Tuesday......look at today's trading, there was no "road block".....likely up next week if market is positive.
Cheers....

Haha.... :p

Ambank...I cut loss at 3.13 on 17-3-21....and 2.96 on 2-4-21...

My average price 3.30 :(

I switched to MBB....at current price, make about 40 sen (inclusive of previous dividend)

Thanks tolle.....staypositive...cheers :)

Tomorrow is DRP price is fixed...then it will probably rebound.

Haha....save some nasi lemak money....1 sen :p

I Q at 8.28

@tolle...now that BN is back (ASM is their baby) and economy and market is expected to do better, may be can expect better dividend from ASM from next year onwards....I still keep about 40-45%.

https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/analysts-maintain-overweight-calls-banking-sector-they-foresee-improving-outlook-govt-eases

RHB Investment Bank Research’s analysts Liew Wai Hoong and Fiona maintained an "overweight" call on the banking sector, with their top picks being Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) (TP [target price]: RM10.30), CIMB Group Holdings Bhd (TP: RM5.70) and AMMB Holdings Bhd (TP: RM3.50).

AmInvestment Bank Research’s analyst Kelvin Ong also maintained an "overweight" stance on the banking sector with his top buys on RHB Bank Bhd (TP: RM6.80), Maybank (TP: RM9.90) and CIMB (TP: RM5.80).

MBB gives a yield of 3-4% cash dividend and 3-4% DRP shares....

....but ASM now only gives 4% dividend..

....though ASM is fixed price, therefore no risk ...but also no price appreciation.

...but MBB at current level...is only trading at about 11 times PE....got very good potential for capital appreciation.

@tolle...I am lazy to manually calculate my average cost ....but just accept what the system show after the inclusion of DRP shares as my average cost...and the cash dividend as my net dividend, which should be around 3-4% of my cost...which is also quite close to current ASM dividend...so the DRP is my bonus on top of ASM dividend ....haha :)

DRP price and ex date will probably be announced tomorrow, 5 trading days from announcement of 2Q21 report....

Haha....typical pre DRP price fixing "road block" :)

Haha...revise up 8.32 during pre closing...matched at 8.30...saved 2 sen :p

@tolle...not additional fund from ASM...but proceeds from sales of other counters...need to put back to work :)

...not bcos of too greedy...haha.

Cheers :)

@tolle..noted, thanks.

If my 8.30 is not matched by late afternoon, will revise up the price...need to use up my allocation by tomorrow....cos I think the announcement date and DRP pricing can be any day from this Friday.

Current trading is typical pre DRP trading....funds converting some of their DRP shares into cash dividend while keeping the bench mark price low.

Bought 8.36....8.35.....8.32.....another q at 8.30

Kenanga Target Price MBB 10.65 PBB 3.90

HLB Target Price MBB 9.40 PBB 4.50

AmInvest Target Price MBB 9.90 PBB 4.40

https://www.bursamalaysia.com/market_information/announcements/company_announcement/announcement_details?ann_id=3188713

EPS 10.80 sen

Dividend 10.44 sen

Will probably trade like this for another 2 more days...

All my Q not match :(

@tolle yes...5m n 15m

Add another Q at 8.37

Yes, please sell..to make my Q at 8.36 8.35 more easy to match...when matched, will say thank you
