Watches are not sunset business. Now watches are treated as accessories. Look at how G-shock and Baby-G watches are continuing provide new hype to the watch-lover. You simply search something like "G-shock lovers" & "G-shock community" in facebook. You will find numerous of groups exists. And many are Malaysian. Just a few simply research you will know how good their business.

Calculator, no one actually pay attention to. but look at the secondary students. Almost everyone are carry one scientific calculator. And what brand they are using? Casio

Marco is the distributor of casio in malaysia. They are behind of all these.

7% proposed dividend = RM0.007/share. Not 0.7 sen per share as quoted in the article.

7% 0f 10 sen share is 7/100 *10=0.7 sen.

one (1) share is 10 sen (par value), 7% 0f 10 sen share is 7/100 *10 sen = 0.7 sen/share.

Posted by m00077 > 2016-04-04 13:31 | Report Abuse

one (1) share is 10 sen (par value), 7% 0f 10 sen share is 7/100 *10 sen = 0.7 sen/share or it is equal to RM0.007/share. Current a share is sell at RM0.15 or 15 sen, so it is equal to 0.7/15 * 100 = 4.67% (the dividend yield based on current market price is 4.67%).

It is worth buying as need to wait for 3 to 4 months to get 4.67% dividend.

Well. Lets see the upsides versus the downsides. Downside is limited and there is rooms for upsides. So why not to buy?

If recommend only when it has already up a lot, people say you hourse after canon.

Now is a good chance to look into it. Upcoming result will be resilent, no joke.

Truly gem stock

Posted by shinado > 2016-04-04 21:46 | Report Abuse

A few years ago, I looked at Marco and wondered, why is this gem continued to be unpolished? Something must be wrong. Then I looked at a post from Felicity dated 2012. Then it makes sense to me why the price is still stagnant.

Management not bother to reward shareholders, that's it.

The problem is, i use casio fx 570 calculator for 10 years only replace for a new same model. This thing hard like nokia 3310. G-shock is also like 3310. Can keep on using just by changing battery. Compare with Swatch watch. every 2-3 years died. Swatch engineers are too professional.
