Those who are scared of bank failures should withdraw all their money from the banks and keep cash at home. I have full faith in our local banks.

With Maybank, it is safe to average down. Buy whenever it drops by say 3 to 5%. Of course one has to have deep pockets.

SINGAPORE, Feb 13 (Reuters) - DBS Group (DBSM.SI), which has seen its net interest margins hit highs for the decade on rising interest rates, expects rates to moderate, its chief executive said, as Southeast Asia's largest bank by assets reported record quarterly and full-year profit.

Singapore lenders, like global peers, are benefiting from higher interest rates, but analysts said that as the cycle peaks and economic growth falters, rising bank profits could be curbed.
DBS has reported record earnings due to rising interest rates.

Financial turmoil in the US and Europe offers a rare opportunity to long term investors here to buy Maybank shares at cheap prices. Don't miss the opportunity.

Only affects the small banks. It is their own making.

US bank trouble not over yet. You may have to wait for much longer time.

No need one month to reach RM1. If syndicates want to play, today can reach already.

You kata tak pasti saya kata tak mungkin. Yang jual Maybank kebelakangan ini adalah kebanyakan dana asing.

RHB Bank's performance should improve once the DRP subscription price is confirmed and the dates for dividend entitlements are announced.

Alamak! Genting isn't doing well today. It must be because 007 is not around to support the counter.

Genting hasn't followed other blue chip counters to trend slightly up this morning. Genting promoters must be very disappointed.

Pure speculation. Better not to follow. Small investors might get their hands burned.

I have lost faith in this company. Hope the major shareholders can take Keck Seng private at a reasonable price (over RM6 a share) soonest possible.

"I hv collected enough Genting Berhad shares."
James_Bond, should continue to accumulate until you become a substantial shareholder. I am sure it is not beyond your capability.

RWG boy, daddy had reminded you not to forget to take your medication two days ago, have you forgotten daddy's reminder?

@PM WA, very enlightening explanation. Someone who keeps spewing out rubbish on this forum should read this comment.

Check the fear and greed index of CNN Business, investors are in the grip of extreme fear. Soon Warren Buffet would spring into action.

"Enjoy the feast all!"
@NatsukoMishima, Maybank investors have been enjoying their feast since 2020 with the RM1,770 safely in their pockets. They will have more feasts next weekend.

"Pbb fair value around rm 2.5 - 3.50 only !"
@NatsukoMishima, that is your opinion, few many people would agree with you. You should immediately short Pbb shares. Have you done this already?

Despite the country being seriously hit by Covid19, Maybank continued to pay irresistible dividends in 2020, 2021 and 2022. Total dividends paid during the three years amounted to RM1.77 a share. Another 30 sen a share is pending next week. Only a handful of counters can match Maybank's generosity.

"pbb will be credit suise"
@RWG, don't waste time posting something that even you yourself don't believe would happen. Just tell us the probability of this happening.

Opportunity to accumulate Maybank shares at lower prices. Not a bad thing actually.

@calvintaneng alias tuapautan, if you had put all your proceeds into Maybank shares you would have made tons of money. Maybank was trading at less than RM7.50 a share at end of 2020, it is RM8.35 today. It paid dividends amounting to RM0.58 a share in 2021 and 2022. Another RM0.30 is pending. I am sure this is a much more rewarding investment than your oil palm counters.

"pbb will be svb bank next week"
RWG will lose all his money next week.
@Income, didn't see the inverted commas? It was my reply to RWG

"pbb will be svb bank next week"
RWG will lose all his money next week.

"hadi awang will invite genting to open casino in terengganu soon"
@RWG, you posted the above comment last week. A perikatan win should be good for Genting.

Other counters drop already will rebound fast, Keck Seng takes time to rebound.

Jangan simpan duit dalam Maybank. Lebih elok beli saham Maybank.

Wow! Cannon Tan promoting TSH again. How long have you been doing this? The first day you joined i3investor? That would be almost 10 years already. I only invest in bank stocks, can't afford to make any mistakes.

Accumulate more RHB Bank to enjoy the bumper 25 sen a share dividend. Don't miss your chance!

Of course we are different. US bank shares can drop by over 90% in a single day. A 10% drop in Maybank shares would be considered disastrous.

If you want more discounts, then you must vote PN in the coming elections in six states.

People often say in times of uncertainty, cash is king. This doesn't seem to be true for Keck Seng.

In order for more investors to post comments on this forum, MRCB's share price must spike to above 40 sen. Hope this would come true in less than half a year.

Those naysayers won't rattle me and won't affect my decision.

You are right man! Never belittle others and never belittle the shares they have bought.

"Look at the banking stocks.. drop like a stone"
@Michael_chan2022 your Genting didn't fare any better. Take Maybank and RHB Bank which I have investments in as comparison. Including the 30 sen dividend, Maybank has fallen by about 20 sen or 2.5% from its recent peak and RHB Bank has fallen by less than 7%, from RM5.80+. Genting has fallen by over 12%. Which counter has dropped like a stone?

"maybank will be singnature bank soon"
Remember to take your medication. Daddy is worried.

"Dont chase high now , wait until rm 4- 5 !"
Wait till you become a naturalized Japanese.

Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank which collapsed recently are small banks in the US. They don't even rank among the top 15 banks. When Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy in 2008, it had more than US$600 billion in assets, probably equivalent to US$1 trillion today. No comparison. Don't pretend that you know a lot of things.

After getting your RM250 dividend, your cost becomes RM5.25 per share. You have made the right choice.

"queue at RM 5 .."
@Henryjohny, possible to get this price if Malaysia registers -5% economic growth for 4 consecutive quarters.

EPF picked up 30,000,000 of these 94,900,000 shares, the rest picked up by institutional investors/fund managers. They have the confidence in Maybank, no big deal.

EPF bought 30,000,000 Maybank shares on 6 March.

Does this sell call come from you? Show me your credentials.

"klci collapse soon"
@RWG, to me it means falling by over 5% in a single day. KLCI has already fallen by over 450 points since early 2018. It won't happen, it is just your wishful thinking.

"Genting highlands is good land, too"
Good land where almost every one comes back poorer. Are you joking?

"Melting down of the banking stocks.."
5 years ago Maybank was trading at over RM9 a share and Genting at over RM8. Over the past 5 years, Maybank has dropped just RM1 compared to Genting's drop of RM4. Maybank has consistently paid an average yearly dividend of 55 sen a share over the past 5 years. Which counter has suffered a melt down

DRP subscription price not confirmed yet, that is why RHB Bank not yet ready to move northwards.

@nicholas99, how much has Maybank dropped so far today?
