maybe it was true . 
  I remember correctly it was 13.50+ 2 weeks before they announce the dividend. During this 2 weeks period , the share rose up 14.5x range. It fell to 14.28 on the eve of the dividend announcement . I believe it can still go up a bit more.

As usual, this one may end to day flat or +2cts.
Fat divds payout may have already factor into the current trading price before its announcement(analysts have correctly predicted it), else, we should be seeing it at 13.~ now. There maybe some limited upside from current level subject to market condition and good news.
As for the new budget airline news, I read that even analysts are divided about its prospect, and one thing is for sure, it isn't  his idea in the first place, in fact SIA is force to enter the competition and is on the defensive side for now by AirAsia X and JetStar.
Just my view lah.
thats why i don't understand it when this poster writes no catalyst after xd??? the budget airline they starting is nothing? it is a business move that is aimed at incresing profits...one should not brush off this and say nonchalantly ...so scary lah no catalyst lah.... makes me quite sick in the stomach.....

2 wonderful catalyst for price to move up before xd.... their plans for a new budget long haul airline....and the FAT dividends...ne'er before   given.... think for holders... i hope we HUAT...soon...
 
after xd...still can look forward to an end of the year possible another dividend...like they usually gif...anyway...skeptics should study the charts on this.... i noticed the price shoots even further after their xd...usually peaking towards the end of the year?
anyone else saw this?
i am new to SIA stock... vested.
   
Depending on price, two choices :
Buy low and sell when it comes close to XD or calculate the risk for after XD drop in price. You are right about the catalyst factor.. there is none so far for SIA. And that is scary!

Actually, if one buy this one at the current price and keep it for dividends, its a buy close to its 52wks low. BUT, what happen after xcd is a going concern.
Everyone should sell this fatso and let her go dirt cheap so we can buy and then collect dividend.. hahahahhah...
Wishful thinking ..

To be exact, its these special cum ordinary dividends of 80cts + 40cts which will expire on 2nd Aug 11. 
Unless avi-oil price corrected strongly, there's no short term catalyst to be optimistic, not even its entering of budget medium-long haul competition.

I trade using simple moving average and Commitment of Traders Proxy (COT Proxy) + some other special ingredients that Colonel Sanders will be proud of.
I win some I lose some. But I make sure my wins make up more than the losses!
June i noticed from the previous trend on this stock usually a good month when it starts to creep up again.... 
 
one thing - we never can tell with any accuracy when is the lowest for any stock nor the highest.... 
Commodity bubble burst, oil price is going down, this is beneficial to SIA, furthermore SIA is launching  a new budget/low cost carrier  to compete directly with AirAsia, this is a very good move. AirAsia, a Malaysia company no fight with SIA due to our experience, that keleng Tony Fernandes now is pointing finger at SIA saying we are  copycat..what a loser! This shows he is very scared of SIA new business model, good for the shareholders of SIA and Singapore :D

OMG!!!! what happened to my sia????? oh dear me OH GOSH GOLLY.... what do i do now... really sad leh.
please go up ...SIA...please go up.... please go up.... 

I am going to buy at 13.90 
It will be around 15.00 when coming near to XD
It may go below $14.00 if not bec of the $1.20 dividend. After ex.cd then it will be down to $12+.
Can consider to buy Boustead. Steady growth + good dividend..
