If Compare to Tomei, I think Tomei more attractive with dividend 3.5sen pa (dividend yield 4.67%). Poh Kong's dividend 1.4sen pa (dividend yield 2.85%)
If you look at Tomei's cash flows statement, there is negative cash flows from operations most of the years. This means that Tomei has to borrow money even for its working capital, not to mention that it needs more borrowing to pay its interest of its huge amount of loans (160m), and for expansion of its business (capital expenses). So the dividends the shareholders received every year obviously come from more borrowings. What a stupid way for company to pay dividend and surprisingly shareholders are happy about it! Poh Kong is different. It has positive cash flows for the last three years from operations. It even has free cash flows after capital expenses of about 10 m last year which is used all to pay dividend.
king kong, there is nothing ethical or unethical to borrow money to pay dividend. That is what most shareholders want and the management gives to them and they are damn happy about it without even knowing that the money come from borrowings. There is actually another thing. Dividend paid out are subjected to company tax which in actual fact come from shareholders pocket. What a stupid way to try to satisfy shareholders with borrowing to pay dividends. Tomei is not the only one. Many other companies do the same thing.
Kong, i have seen how the managers give discounts to my wife who is a regular at poh kong for their diamond promotion. sometimes i wonder if the diamond inventory belongs to the owner or poh kong
haa..i dunno how they manage their inventory and buy gold in bulk from the miners...they must have a good system to be able to determine at what cost and when gold jewellery that was made when gold price was only us$700-800 and sell them to retail at current gold price of us$1600-1700. Maybe they stockpile gold and made to order...but i think most probabaly yr wife is a good negotiator when it comes to buying gold too get huge discount.
