Pardon my ignorance... So how's the div payout? Cash or share?
agree
today rallied spectacularly to 3.43... thought finally woke up then pm got shot down all the way to 3.27 (underwater by 6c). end off 3.34 up 1c
can hold for divi. downside capped for now. can only be looking up
Fyi....last day cum divds is on 5 Dec. i.e. if u are still holding onto your shares, u will get the 19cts divds. Thereafter, XD will apply and share price will correct accordingly.
This counter is advisable for long term investors, it's an old man stock. It move rather slowly in both directions.

New to this.. Thanks for the clarification Wongmx6, temp123..
Another question, wouldn't everyone else be buying heaps of SPH b4 9/Dec and selling them straight away
after dividend day.. Returns will be better than parking $$ in Fixed Deposit.. ;)
Hi hedonistic7,
I are entitle to have the 19 Cents/Share of DIV if you buy it before 09 Dec 08
if we buy SPH now, will we still be entitled to div..?
can accum some more for div
probably if it drops abit more to close to 3
all time low 2.9
Now $3.17.
Why this counter everyday price lower n lower , any news can share ..?
If i could still recall, it should be around $12.50 level before 1-5 split >10 years ago during the AFC, so that work out to ~$2.50. Anyway, 10 yrs low is at $2.92. It should not visit these level again unless something drastic happen.
Hmm...looks like the fund's selling isn't complete yet. Should be done by today, hopefully.

SPH still value for money. Take it that you are putting money in fixed deposits, at least you still get dividends twice in a year.

Guess SPH is the worst STI performer.
2nd worst performer goes to OCBC, net gain of 15% from low, when STI rise more than 20% from 1476.
Actually, SPH is ok, cos it falls little and rise little.
OCBC more jiatlat, falls alot more than SPH, but only rise abit more SPH.
btw, does anyone know the all-time low price for sph?
Today every blue chip also goes up except this one !
The return for bank shares is better. I'll avoid this for the time being.
There is still some time to go before ex-dividend. Now is only 29 Oct and ex-d is 9 Dec ....
hlayer, who say abt buying at 4? isit you? haha
ya la of cos xd u expect price to fall by div. common sense
2moro this counter will shoot back to 3.4 ~3.43 steady range.Expected b4 xd will reach > 3.6 ...let wait n see..
