Maybank is holding up very well today but wonder if it could hold at this level should the situation in the Middle East worsen.

Don't buy any stocks now. Better to wait until the situation in the Middle East is clearer. Should a war between Israel and Iran break out, Genting would surely dip below RM4.

Already lost over 10% in one month and LKT still refuses to lend support. Does this signal more bad news are coming?

Unlikely to reach RM5.80 within the next two days before it trades ex dividend.

Apollo's share price shot up by over RM2 after it announced a second interim dividend of 50sen a share. Keck Seng can easily afford to pay a final dividend of over 50 sen a share but its directors chosen not to.

Ex dividend next Monday. Hope it can stay above 80 sen.

Those who had heeded Maybank IB's advice and bought Genting about 5 weeks ago have all landed in Holland.

Now highest in 52 weeks but still a long way to catch up with CIMB which was at about the same level as RHB just 5 months ago.

Some people are always obsequious to Western people, wagging their tails whenever they see them. They should read this article by Jeffrey Sachs, a world renowned US professor.

Buy while it is still low.

Earnings have increased by over 150% over the past 10 years but dividend has increased by just 50%. This has disappointed many small investors.

I have been using a Huawei phone for over 6 years without a single problem. This DickDickMEE views China made products with a jaundiced eye.

Now if we have a dog which happens to be travelling in a Boeing plane and its door suddenly drops off. How would this dog feel?

Nothing so special about its special dividend. I thought it is 50 sen a share.

"Majority of Chinese products are cheap and shitty. It is designed such a way based on repeatable business."
Wow! We have a parrot here parroting Western propaganda. Why does the US ban China's access to many advanced technologies? The simple reason is it is afraid of China 's rise which threatens its dominance and hence has to make life difficult for China.

You are living in an ivory tower DickyMee. Why does the US impose tariffs on goods from China? Why is it so difficult to export rice to Japan? India does the same thing to certain imports from other countries. Why only blame your own country?

@DickyMee, are you too free? Can start selling Mee Rebus to occupy your time. I certainly don't enjoy your antics.

@DickyMee, the one who is being carried away is you. Maybank doesn't need government support. It has been doing well and paying handsome dividends for over 10 years. As for Tenaga, it is not allowed to raise tariffs and hence it has to be compensated in the form of ICPT. To say that both would end up like Sapura without government support is a crazy assumption which no one, including you, believes.

Crescendo Corporation Bhd has just disposed of another piece of land in Pulai area, this time to Microsoft Payments (Malaysia) for RM132.47 million or RM120 per sq ft. Keck Seng has over 600 acres of development land in the area. Imagine how much this piece of land is worth if it fetches the same price as Crescendo's land. This is only a very small part of what Keck Seng possesses.

Slowly but surely moving up.

"RM 3 coming soon!"
@DickyMee, you posted earlier on that Tenaga would drop to RM4.50 and Maybank to RM5.80. Can you tell me how much is Tenaga today?

Highest in more than half a year. Hopefully RM5.70 would become its support level now.

Should make over 1 sen per share for financial year ending 31/03/2024, hence dividend shouldn't be less than 0.6 sen a share. NTA is 38 sen a share.

I only mentioned that all Khazanah owned stocks have high PEs, didn't say that they bought their shares at high prices. I know the stock market dynamics well.

Khazanah owned stocks all with very high PE ratios, eg IHH, Airport.

This company has been keeping over RM150 million cash for over 10 years. It has no viable business model. It should just sell all its assets and distribute its cash to shareholders and fold up.

Volume too low, price movement could be easily manipulated.

Just four months ago, CIMB was trading at about the same price as RHB. Today it is RM1 higher after ex dividend. How not to feel frustrated with RHB's performance?

Maybank investors have already received their final dividends. RHB Bank should emulate Maybank and pay dividends early.

Dividend yield is around 5%, more or less meets my requirement.

Above 18 sen can start selling already. Can achieve 22 sen average selling price good enough already.

Suddenly becomes so active. Could be a sign that it is going up. I have already stocked up over the past few weeks.

Those who had bought Maybank exactly a year ago have achieved total return of over 20%.

Keck Seng's price movement has been quite lethargic since the beginning of February. Looks like consolidation could be over by now.

Looks slightly more promising this morning but I am not so confident. Still believe it might drop back to around RM5.60 again at the end of trading.

Has been trading at below RM5.70 a share for over a year now. Already lost hope on RHB Bank.

Assuming Maybank's earnings improves to 80 sen a share this year and dividend is maintained at 60 sen a share, it is still not advisable to sell Maybank even at RM10 a share. Perhaps if it spikes to RM12 to RM13 before the next GE, then may be we can call it a day.

Capital gain plus dividend, just like Maybank and CIMB Bank, would be much better.

Buy this counter and be prepared for its price to be stuck at this level for the next two years.

I believe 60 sen a share is attainable within the next few days.

DickyMe likes to live in tents. Go to Gaza to experience tent life. It should be memorable.

Renewed interest in property stocks again. This should be good for MRCB.

KLCI shouldn't have dropped by over 11 points this morning. Maybank trades ex dividend this morning and it has actually gone up by three sen as of now. I believe the system has mistakenly regarded as a 27 sen drop. This alone already constitutes a 5.5 point loss in KLCI.

Same modus operandi by the big boys, occurring again and again and again......Good if one is not greedy.

A word of advice: Don't invest in counters where EPF is the largest shareholder, eg RHB Bank, MRCB. Invest in counters where Khazanah is the largest shareholder, eg CIMB Bank, Tenaga, Malaysia Airport Holdings etc.

Hope it could spring a surprise, but this is empty hope only.

With huge investments pouring into Johor Bahru and the opening of the RTS at end 2026, Keck Seng's property division is expected to do very well in the coming years. Whether these translate into better dividends or not is anybody's guess.

RHB Bank investors have to accept this harsh reality. You invest in the bank for its generous dividends, there would be practically little or no capital gains.

Some guys have been talking about Taurx on this forum for some time. There is nothing new about Maybank's report.

Dropping towards RM4.80. Many have been trapped.
