bro, that's excellent prediction. hopefully that is so but afraid as PNB invested a lot in Sapura as well.. so let's see

@stkoay, bro, ASM 1 is up for Divi declaration by 1 April 2022. what's the possible rate you expecting?

if multi-tiered and total EPF declared for year is 6%, you wont get 6% for sure especially if you have high savings

aiyoh, you all want to guess whether this counter good or not, look at who's buying up the shares. even the director is buying up a lot of the shares, if she is confident as she is working at MV, and access to all foot fall data, financials, why be scared? Look, even EPF also grabbing lots. why you all not confident like them? you think this is Serbak meh?

like Chinese proverb, in times of trouble, there is danger and opportunity.

Where's all the loyal supporters? Paid cybertroopers? Will we see another Focus article? Will PearlWhite share another blog? Will Meow Meow Meow become active here again? What happened to the Battleships, Cruisers, Super Tankers? Can anyone guess, what's the next part of the story will be? SD rocket sighted on Mars?

So many questions, but nevermind... we all got time, enjoying the show... it gets better with time.. you'll see *eats popcorn*

Btw, dont forget Sumatec

@choysun bro, thanks for the headsup and I noticed too but unfortunately my funds committed to IGBReit at the moment and most of it in MBB already. I'll wait for the next dip before considering.

that's why dont time the market and speculate. it's an expensive teacher.

yes, unit trust is only for those who do not have the time to monitor their funds and rather employ fund managers to manage their money taking a lower returns along the way. useful if you want to temporary park your cash for a few years if and when you are young and to use your cash for down payment for a house. EPF is when you are older and you have other cash laying around for emergency funds.

For EPF, if and when it is multi-tiered, I will seriously consider taking all out and investing in other countries

well, they sure as hell won't consider PBB if given the choice (for obvious reasons)

@geniusraider agreed with you. have another source of passive income to prepare for all scenarios.

@Sharefisher, I bought my first PBB at RM14.96 (small lots to test water) or RM2.992 (after BI), then loaded up my PBB stocks to take full advantage of the BI, now averaging RM3.796 which I agree is a good buy too. Timing with some spare cash for 'chance' buy sitting around is always a good thing rather than tie up all cash into equities to make them work and miss the opportunity when it arises

@moneyontheway

I am sure many bros and sistas here will agree with me when I share my honest opinion and best advise. You will need to follow this rules:

1. wash your hands;
2. wear your face masks when going outside;
3. dont gamble with your hard earn money;
4. dont speculate in the stock market;
5. park your cash with EPF. lord knows we have some of the best fund managers there, at worst 2.5% returns, at best above 6.00% returns annually (conventional la).
6. lastly the most important of all, dont ask or listen to investment advise from any one here or anywhere else who may not understand your financial position and may have extra spare cash to burn compared to you or have ulterior motives, especially not from she males who will ask you to f**k off at the slightest chance she gets.

Meanwhile, good luck and may the force be with you!

As my brother (an ex-banker) used to say, Banking stocks are usually a sure bet as even in financially bad times, banks have assets like land and buildings to dispose of to stay afloat so the risk is minimise. banks as the financial back bone of the country, if like in the US during the great depression, no other stocks will be safe as well. banks will be the last to go

you seem to be very powerful being the keyboard aren't you?

today is witching hour day. monday sure correction

no wonder ... collaboration with Carsome

btw I still holding tight tight to my PBB.

see Apollo shares, hardly move at all, no day traders..

wei bro, I like speculative players.. otherwise how my PBB share price can go up like now?

@moneyontheway you're welcome. yes i can get a little long winded sometimes. sign of old age perhaps? my experience has been a very expensive teacher. i wont mention my broker name but i will just give you small clues. 'my broker cannot recommend this stock' and they won a few awards from Euromoney. if you know the answer just say 'i got it. thanks!'

My broker charge is 0.1% or min. RM8 per transaction. not that good. reason i stayed on is bcos of this remisier i was with for a long time and can consider a friend now. so to me since my transactions are quite a sum, the rm8 not really an issue to me. on your case, talk to your remisier to ask him to lower your transaction (i did asked mine and told him that I trade with my own money without credit facility and place my own orders without anyone's help so I should enjoy lower rates), and show them that other brokers are cheaper (just make sure compare apple with apple - cash account only, no margin account). if you trade big enough or they value you enough to retain you, they will reduce as 'special case - dont tell anyone' if they dont, then you may like to follow what sreemani1316 suggestion to change broker, you just need to register with a new broker at RM10 and transfer fee of RM10 per stock (if not mistaken). check out the link and install the app now.

To answer your query on AA being PN17, you need to be very good at goggling for the answer. perhaps you can try key words like 'Air Asia' 'PN17' 'theedgemarkets '. with the keywords i found this:

@Peterng123

Ceterus Paribus, when interest rate go up, which of the following is the correct answer?

a. MBB benefits;
b. PBB benefits;
c. CIMB benefits;
d. AMBank benefits; or
e. All the above

what has Russian debt got to do with Malaysian banks? Malaysia borrows from US not Russia so we may be affected by US Fed but not Russia.

@moneyontheway I am not the correct person to advise you on which type of stocks to invest - that would be your remisier or broker who is more qualified. like many others here I based my investment decisions on reading as much as possible on whats happening in the country, the industry and related environment. knowledge is power. once you find a stock that interests you, read up on the industry. monitor the price movement for past few years to get an idea of the volatility of the share price, follow warren buffet in investing in the company (for its future growth potential), above all do not follow any of us here say what or what not to buy. god knows the internet is full of trolls who are full of malice and ill intent - as they say, misery loves company.

Any company under PN17 has 12 months to get their sh*t in order and improve the books and forward such plans to Bursa. If after this 12 months, no improvement in company financial standings, they will be delisted by Bursa. Whether one would invest in PN17 would depend on how much of a risk you can afford to lose. I have a low tolerance for losses so I wont now as I once did not monitor my share portfolio when i started investing and invested in a penny stock which was quickly when under PN17 and that company is still under PN17 till today (4 years after they were suspenses), every day when I look at my stock portfolio, I see this PN17 sitting there showing a BIG NEGATIVE figure reminding me to monitor my shares. lesson learned and now i move on.

On the brokerage commission, I manage to reduce the brokerage charged by my broker from 0.24% to 0.1% after 12 months of trading when they had a promotion to enlist new investors last year. I read somewhere that Rakuten is cheaper 0.05% (o be confirm) - you would have to see what sort of support they give you. Most broker charge you cheap if you trade cash account and not margin account and you also fly solo. no support from your broker on any advice. I am lucky my remisier still advises me on my queries from time to time from what is heard from the grapevine in the stock brokers fraternity. although this I take with pinch of salt and read up to find out more - caveat emptor is the name of the game. At the end of the day, its your money, you do not have to be loyal to any 1 broker, you can transfer your CDS account which contains shares you have bought to another broker which gives you a lower fee in order for you to quickly dispose off your stocks. Previously my broker charged me high fee as they also give me credit account which i dont need as I trade with my own money. You should take charge of your account as its your right and money at the end of the day.

@stockgeek the closing price yesterday was 8.97 less dividend 0.30 is 8.67 which is the opening price for today.

for some of us who invest big in MBB, better take DRP better as you can see the free Lots. if small investment them cash seems better

well depends really on your stock average pricing. as well as your investing style.long term go for DRP, short term go for cash I suppose

Highest was in 24 May 2013 at 25.99%. Plenty of opportunity for upside since its considered safe haven

https://www.nst.com.my/business/2022/02/771238/foreign-investors-biggest-buying-spree-malaysian-stocks-year-date

wah, Harimau power today. think can close at 9.10?

those who shout price falls like some jealous prostitute probably only invest in PBB or CIMB or YTL Power only. for those who invest in both MBB and PBB banking stocks ... steady only, enjoying best of both worlds... sit back and enjoy the ride

Of course price might drop at Ex-Date. This one experience investors will also tell you. sometime in the near future price will also drop and then increase or increase then drop. Dunno when la, but some time in future. cyclical markets exists bcos some investors enter and some exit. normal to expect so

where's those monkeys screaming buy plantation? all quiet as a mouse now

@stkoay yes, the 'new' guy was actually from MBB Indonesia before and now rejoin MBB. Interestingly he joined RHB in 2014 and promoted to GMD and GCEO in 2015. The bank performance started to improve from year 2015 after a poor performance from previous years. certainly good news. Am sure MBB would have the blessing from BNM for the appointment too. A lot is at stake for the biggest banking group in Malaysia

Yes bro, agreed. Also MBB management is very experience and capable, like PBB's management, so no need to worry on it being a going concern. if both falls, I am more worried on the country's future instead

@Choysun Tenaga fell below 9.00, last at 8.97, be careful ya. as Admiral Ackbar says.. 'It's A Trap!'

@stockgeek not necessarily the case especially lately due to the uncertainty. IGBReit failed to go up prior to ex-date even thought dividend also back to pre-C19 and it has been falling almost ever since. the mall is packed by the way. but the believe that rental assistance to retailers are still there so this affects too

to be expected, no surprises there. this morning when I saw Wall Street drop before Bursa open, knew Bursa would also very likely drop as well. most stock market will follow/track regional stock market or wall street and Bursa is no different. also we know that profit taking is normal for day traders especially there is a very high increase.

Saw a video on Warren Buffet and the take away is this.. he was asked which stocks to invest in. he replied that he buys businesses that are good meaning that have a GOOD future and STRONG management. invest in the business that you (really) KNOW and not follow or time the market (trend) and don't buy value stocks (or 'soggy cigars' with one puff left as he calls them) bcos they are cheap as gains are short term. buy for the forward potential of the company business. and if you can see yourself holding on the stock for 10 years, then buy it. meanwhile just sit back and don't have any knee jerk reactions to shake your belief in that company stock. sounds like a plan if you ask me

@stevee Tollebunsmith sold all his MBB? what happened?

@choysun @Zxvvbn Thanks guys.. good to know the potential price for this stock

from the 10 year chart I see that the highest is ard 10.75-10.80 sometime in mid 2018

any idea what was the highest price of MBB share in its history?

hopefully they push and ex date price stays at 10.
that'll be the cherry on too too
