one q, if choose script div for bank stocks, how to input this correctly in sgxcafe?

Oh ur question just inspired me how to fix it. I have been keying the share in buy @ $0. Seems like can key in buy at avg div in cash.

Say ur ocbc div is 0.18pershare. U key in buy @0.18 the number of scrips u got. Taddar!

Becos sgxcafe assumes u get cash div, so key in this way can subtract out the cash div credited and credit the scrips, fully representative of wat happened. Thanks for u qn.

Or maybe not?

should key in that u bought at scrip price

example ocbc $9, script at $8.10

u got 10 shares... should key in 10 shares bought $8.10, not $0

since its the same as using the $81 cash dividends to buy 10 shares at open market... just that u got it at a lower price of $81 instead of $90

those who are keying at $0 your returns will look way higher for sure

Simplified example with no discount
1000 shares of ocbc at $9.00 worth $9000
U recieve $90 dividends or 10 shares at $90


Whichever choice u opt for
Your total value becomes $9090 (cash) $9090 (shares)

U guys understand this point first or not?

If u understand this point than script dividends is not zero dollar assigned, its the same as using your cash to purchase shares from open market

When adding script shares, if u wanna keep proper numbers u should key in the script price instead or zero

As simple as that

But anyway at the end of the day its up to the individual

If i recieve $1000 dividends its "free"
And i use $1000 dividends to buy m1

Do i put the cost as zero?


If i recieve $1000 dividends from ocbc
And use the $1000 dividends to buy more ocbc shares

Do i put the cost as zero?

My day end mail from sgxcafe used to be like 5.30pm
Now it comes at around 6.15pm
Is it due to all the increase traffic?

Lol
