102356143 : ocbc dividend yield needs to be gross yield 0.5% or even 1% above DBS’s gross yield which currently Dbs is at about 6.5% gross plus dbs is returning quarterly dividends for 3 years returning capital of 3 billion (20% more) and for much longer.. so it was obvious for me to quickly convert all my ocbc for Dbs’s quarterly dividend which proved to be quite the same to ocbc’s.  so now holders will have to decide why not convert uob and ocbc to dbs.  uob gross div should be about 0.5% above dbs’s div of 6.5%.  so think this over..

102356143 : still the highest total dividend and it’s paid quarterly.  smoother passive income. other 2 banks is half yearly

102356143 : dbs will give special dividend continuously for another 3 years every quarter..  Uob announced 2 special quarterly dividends just for next half year only..

102356143 : oh… i sold ocbc’s dividend yield of4.9% to buy DBS’s total dividend yield > 6% over next 3 years ar least..

102356143 : note: the special dividend of extra 0.15 is supposed to be for 3 yrs every quarter.  so that makes the the effective total dividend to be currently above 6% for 3 years.  the price will need to adjust upwards to make the dividend be below 5% and lower then Ocbc and Uob.. so the price should adjust to 50-60 or even higher? and some say 60-70 because of share buyback and 10% increase of the basic dividend..  so current price has to adjust up as investors start doing their spreadsheets..

102356143 : 10 feb it was ATH 46.50…. need to beat current short term resistance then beat ATH. Step by step.. slowly

102356143 : not share buy back but the special div of extra 0.15 will continue for 3 years.  so the effective dividend is around 6.6%.  the price needs to adjust to 50-60 so that it’s dividend is below that of uob and ocbc which is around 5%.
