1 lot is $190... meaning to say, with current price of $3.14, if you bought SPH with price above $3.33 , you have nothing to cheer than buying now.

BUT, you did have a chance to buy last 2 months at low of $3.18, so those people who got between $3.18-$3.33 are so called "profits" at this point of time...

you are absolutely right, the past history dividend is a guideline, but, it will not be too "far off"... "Usually" before the dividend paidout, the price will spike up, meaning to say, I would definitely want to see SPH at least $3.60-$3.80 next year April before the dividend released. Just like it was $3.18 in October, come to dividend released, it was up all the way to $3.61...  same thing will happen...

as I said, I treat this as Time Deposit investment, of course, some people might say, my KXD, Jade, or StraitsAsia, whatsoever, 5 years later will be blar blar blar, even better than SPH returns,  but blue chip is a blue chip, don't mix with those high risk high gain, that is belong to other categories, which in my portfolio too.. so, diviserfy is a key word here.

ha ha... if i were him, i already sold when it hit 50 cents, ha ha.. not need to say 7 dollars, LOL..

But you should not shout arrogantly the way you did,

we should shout politely mah.

Anyway, better don't hope for sph to drop down further. Better hope for it to start playing catch-up for a strong rebound next week(otherblue chips oredi rebounded way above it's low but this sph still very near it's 52-week low) Although I bought at $3.12 recent all-time low but must spare a thought for those people that bought at above $3.30 to $3.40, if price drops further, they will be very ..............

is it? well, good timing should SHOUT LOUD to share with all to buy before the ship is gone..

in fact, i wish to come down more for me to accumulate, LOL...
