Different people bought the stock at different prices... so yield wouldn't be accurate. Better to list the exact dividend amount and you can use that to calculate your own yield.

Knowing the yield based on your buying price is well and good but it doesn't help you determine if the money should stay there or be recycled into another stock. That is where yield on current prices come in useful.

If I bought A at $1 and it pays out $0.10 dividend a year, my yield is 10%
Currently A is $2 and still paying out $0.10 dividend a year, making the current yield 5%.

Now there's a new stock B, $2 and pays out $0.20 dividend a year, making the yield 10%.

Should I switch from A to B? I wouldn't if I bought A at $1, reason being the yield that I'm getting on my money is the same.

technically your buy/sell decision should be base on the current valuations. ie current yield or current PE, PTB. you dont do valuation on historical yield, PE or PTB. for example, you dont do historical Price/latest EPS for PE calculation.

of course if you can do a forward analysis is better but this is more advance. so current valuations are good enough.

In your example, you immediately double the amount of your dividend per year by simply switching from A to B albeit at the expense of one-off transactional costs. I don't think the choice can be any clearer than that.

It depends on how sustainable is B in giving out the $0.2 dividend :o

A lot of investors fall for the high yield trap during IPO, and neglect the fact that lots of these "high yields" are based on difficult to achieve assumptions, risky leverages or a one time payment. You'll have to do your homework to distinguish these investment traps :)

why did MCT chief Hagan resign?

foreseeing problem with MCT?
Click to expand...

"Chief" Shane Peter Hagan was the CFO.

Probably not a problem with MCT. When he resigned as CFO of LMIR Trust in 2010 it was also said to be "personal interests" (Investor Relations: News). According to MCT's annual report, before becoming CFO of the manager of MCT he was Group Financial Controller of Mapletree Investments.

I'll take DRP to round up the odd lots...
Click to expand...

Interesting to see different people having different views on this. I tend to take partial. I will calculate an optimal units for the DRP and then get cash for the remaining few units.

Got such thing????

Not all reits have that. MapleLog and aims are 2 examples of REITs that have DRP.
