I hold SCB because it is a dividend stock. A change in dividend policy will certainly affect my decision making, funds raising not withstanding. After all they had intimated that the funds from the rights issue would be enough to buy the BBK thingie.

Why pay a dividend when you are going to shareholders to raise cash? It's better/cheaper to NOT pay a dividend than raise cash thru a Rights Issue...

Rights Issue includes additional costs for lawyers, brokers, CMA, NSE, etc...

Yet the rights issue is on, so why not just pay the dividends?

additional capital requirements!
Peni mbili... Was I not clear?

Paying a dividend when you are RAISING cash... means you need to raise ADDITIONAL cash to cover the dividend... Silly when you pay a cost 3%+ to raise money!!!

StanChart are not idiots but look at their counterpart KCB for lessons on how NOT to run a bank...

Another scam artist is Stanbic... who screw their minority shareholders over & over...

Down from 320/- to 260/- in a week. Now that's not good.

BBI will solve it :)

Stanchart is a slow grower...the short bursts of profitability shouldnt trick guys to believe its a fast grower and pay prince like prices for toad like co.s
The utimate goal of investing is to buy low sell high;if we re-write this core equation in psychology terms it becomes buy fear sell greed.

@vvs,extrapolating first quarter into half year formed part basis of his play.Remember first quarter was 40% YoY.If the rest of his expectations come true the price then may recover.In the short term i see it headed for 240.
