ask u all something.... if u by share from stock market, got dividend one rite if the company is giving out.

is it true that u need to hold on to the share for 1 year to get the dividend?

everyone who has the share , no matter a lot of very little will also get a share from the dividend rite?

If you invested in shares of a company and the company is giving out dividends, you just have to hold on to the stocks till the date it XD. You don't have to hold on to it for a whole year, so to speak. You can just buy the shares anytime before it goes XD and you will be entitled to the shares. When you see the CD sign, it means the company has already declared that it is giving out dividends, and prices may have already rised to reflected the amount of dividend paid out.

You can just open an online brokerage account and invest yourself. No need to get a broker.

There are many around. Like DBS Vickers, UOB Kayhian, Citibank, POEMS, etc. Just pick one.

**stevetan** · 17-09-2007, 01:46 PM

No need to buy until the year. Just pay attention to the ex date. I got paid even I paid the share a month ago.

i had read throught those u mention on top. the lowest commission charge are UOB Kayhian and POEMS. but the POEMS got stated that they will charge interest on the dividend that u earn? what as the UOB Kayhian stated this
"Minimum Commission
S$25 / US$15 / A$20 / HK$115

Flat Rate
0.275% "

what is " Flat Rate"? also same as the interest charge on dividend like POEMS ?

They are roughly the same in terms of commission charges. If you are just trading in the local stock market, it's around $25 onwards.

I believe Citibank is cheapest, while Lim & Tan give link points.

every simple one. if you going for DBS (i using), just go to the PCW building and tell them you want a trading account. then they give u all the forms to fill. anything duno, can ask them there.

u will need a CDP account to hold your shares. and probably a giro linked to your CDP and trading account so ur dividend and expense will be auto deducted.

sgx is good. but buying only 1 share is very very slow growth. but its up to individual. unless you can buy at least 2-4 lots than at least you see the money faster.

i prefer leveraging and engage in more risky trades.

hmmm.... thx a lot, but i went to do a research, seem like UOB's commission charge is the lowest $25 per transaction.. where as DBS one is $40. got any different between them?

**djchris** · 19-09-2007, 10:13 AM

$40 is only when you use their brokers to make orders. For online transactions, it's still around $25 and up.

You can open your accounts first, but be sure to know what you are investing and what is your strategy. Don't just buy the 1st blue chip you can afford.

Btw, till date I still don't own a single blue chip.
