@RainT There's a dividend? This has been a total "tembak" for me, simply jumping in without doung enough research. I haven't even read the quarter report yet. But if this 20 sen is true, I think I'm going to keep this for a while.
Phew! This is going well right now. Thanks to @hng33 too, because seeing him entering gave me courage :-) But I'm not clear about the said dividend. Haven't checked yet. This might end up being a genuine investment for me, not trade.
I've just gone to check the announcements at Bursa Malaysia's website (normally I'd do research first, then buy. But today is an exception - extraordinary situation). YES, there is a 20 sen dividend. This is from the 2015 financial year. AGM to approve this is on 2 June. Ex. Date for the dividend is 8 June.
I think I'll stick around instead of taking a quick contra profit. Maybe wait for the next quarter results in three months. The recently reported results might be one-off. This is an attractive company. Unlike Shell, Petron Malaysia isn't just about the refinery business. It includes the retail side. Might not be as big as Petronas Dagang but it's good enough.
@kinfatt999 You shouldn't beat yourself up too much. Buying at RM7 isn't greedy. It was, after all, on an uptrend. It's just that you were a bit late. And didn't put a stop-loss in the event it slipped. But that's something in the past. Better to focus on the now and future...think of some way to mitigate the situation.
