Received the DBS Scrip letter which shows that I am entitled to 33 shares if I were to choose to take scrip (Scrip price at $14.81/shares).
Tempted to take the scrip.
DBS shareholders, what is your choice - Cash or Scrip?
Take the cash. Cash is king.
ReplyDeleteIn the end, I took cash $.$
Deletei would take the scrip, it is (typically) discounted, so why suffer the dilution by taking cash? Its odd lots, but 积少成多. Finally, not every company provide the option for scrip, one would notice only the established firms offer this option, so usually i would not be adverse to accept the scrip, unless U really do not wan to deal with odd lots. YMMV : P my 2 cents pse, for ur consideration, cheers, and happy investing.
ReplyDeleteThank you. In the end, I chose cash.
DeleteReason being:
1) As I am using POEMS, so it would cost me min $10 comm if I were to sell it in the future.
2) With only 33 shares, even if the price raise to $15.81, I only profit $33. Almost 1/3 gone to paying comm
3) My main reason for buying DBS is just for FIFO
4) There is no further discount on taking scrip
5) Make my life easier by not having odds lots
