SGX

Remember that SGX's revenues are tied to market volume. And market volume is directly related to the state of the economy. As long as jobs are lost and incomes down, no one (including BBs) will buy into the stock market.

SOP for SGX end yr. Main traders exit for holiday or balek kampong liao.

Not surprising if it shed below 5 this week. Other counters follow suit as well.

 

SGX rally ended at last.

 

Sorry, yah I think d report merged 1st Qtr into 1H n 3rd Qtr into FY. As I compared my rcv div on 18 Feb 08 n 22 Oct 08 with the div % not matched leh. Taking the last div paid out of 29 cts for FY08, then 3Qtr 08 then should be 3 cts liao. May be AK too focus on high div pay out period n trade. Sky cleared now.

Cheers, tks for the clarification..

AK_Francis      ( Date: 16-Dec-2008 12:59) Posted: Sorry, AK meant 1st Qtr 09 paid 3.5cts. 1H=1st Qtr  + 2nd Qtr, half yr. 2H=3Qtr+4Qtr, FY=1H+2H or 12mths. FY05, FY06,FY07 it paid 24.55cts, 16.2cts n 36cts respectively, approved in AGM after end Jun each yr. Unlike ie SPH, it paid 1H interim n FY div since FY 07. SGX started 08. Now, SGX given 1st Qtr div which AK never come ax so far,unless there are coy which they did give odd Qtr ie 1st n 3Qtr div.  I had flipped thro the latest copy of d Investment Handbook, covering catalist n Investment Trust coys, thats the observation loh.

However, it is a popular stock which BBs like to play around, esp its on upward trend time. Daily traded vol is high. Its 1Q 09 earnings fell 35%, net prf 478.3m, on d back of decrease in securities mkt revenue n stable revenue. However, derivatives trdg vol increased 40.7% to 17.4m contracts. Qtr div of 3.5 cts was paid. 1st time in history to pay Q div. Cash rich. 1H08 mtg was on 15 Jan 08 n interim div 6cts was given. 32 cts div was approved end Jun 08 for FY08. Guess its 1H09 div may shrink as it has given 1Q09 div, moreover earning definitely thin.

I agree with you. SGX make money from transactions. But why has the share price shot up in the last few days?

Sentiment driven? 

equator2010      ( Date: 14-Dec-2008 18:05) Posted: I remember reading somewhere in Dec  that SGX will underperform due to lower volume because of clamp-down on short-selling and reduction in derivatives trading... seems possible that price will continue to fall.  anyone has more to add or counter this view?

 

No doubt, 4.xxxx.
