CatchYou 28282828 : Not really a loss since we do receive dividends through the years. But selling it now a bit waste since there are 2 dividends coming. 1 in Aug and the other in Nov which is just 3 months apart.

CatchYou : Record Date means the date that the company will determine who is the owner of the shares for dividend at that time in point. Since Sgp shares are settled in T+2, you must bought the shares on 28 May. You will be the rightful share owner in 30 May. That is why 29 May is the ex-date (after dividend recognition date). So you will get any dividend when you buy the shares on 29 May.

CatchYou : To provision upfront for the impairment is prudent ....

CatchYou : Just bought another 4k this morning at 2.37. I am treating this as FD. not bother by the price swing. Where to find such a good deal on the dividend rate (FD rate).

CatchYou Deep Sea OP : Let's not forget about the GXS ebanking that Singtel is investing in.
