Dividends in 2007

For the year 2007, I received a total of $24,433 dividends in cash, from the shares I hold. This excludes the dividend received in CPA OA shares and Unit Trust. Taking the portfolio value on 31.12.2007(includes PanU and Ellipsiz), this represents a good 4.8%, which is higher than 3.8% in 2006.

The two counters that gave very high dividens are Hiap Moh and Sg Ship. Other counters like Metro Holdings, Comfordelgro, SATservic gave also good dividends of 6% and above.
