Since I joined this share its been V disappointing, but I'm in for long haul as I reckon this is the best bank ( risk-reward) also nearing chatter about great long term value at HSBA, any views on +year and Brexit effect?

[garycook] 22/3/2016 02:40

Very quiet on here. Is there any private investors left in HSBA,or as everyone sold out !!! Thinking of topping up any views on where this is going ?

HSBC Holdings plc (ADR) (NYSE:HSBC) has received green signal to start its credit card business in China, said the bank's Asia-Pacific head Peter Wong in an interview with Bloomberg. The move is perceived as an attempt by CEO Stuart Gulliver to “add flexibility” in its retail banking and wealth management (RBWM) unit, operating in the Asian region.

Can anyone tell me dividend amount for this 4th quarter? TIA.

[my retirement fund] 02/3/2016 08:13

7 billion raised in the blink of an eye.

carer ... If you browse around HSBA publications and the presentation this 1/4 .. the conclusion you come to is that HSBA has diversified into renewable energies amplified by China of course .... and will take a relatively small hit in the event that shale oil drillers go pop by having a limited exposure.

Smart move .... and the divi will of course be further amplified by the exchange rate :)

"but the share price will fall after record date by the amount of the divi..in theory at least."

I think you mean the ex-dividend date...and theory is only loosely connected to reality.

[carer] 01/3/2016 12:03

HSBC makes most of the money in China and Hong kong. wealth creation in China is tremendous, huge population and market provide plenty cushion to any market turmoil. all these reports on Industrial output reduction are only natural because China is moving to more service orientated growth and it wants to move away export led growth, which cause too much pollution in major cities and simply not sustainable. I would not believe all these doom or gloom about China, there are plenty customers in China for HSBC. I am thinking of investing some money for the medium/long term.

[carer] 01/3/2016 10:45

Great. many thanks for the link. It is very useful.
happy investing.

[kiwi2007] 01/3/2016 10:35

Yes, you can do that...but the share price will fall after record date by the amount of the divi..in theory at least.



Why don't investors buy stock just before the dividend date and sell right afterwards?

[carer] 01/3/2016 10:29

Hello,

Could somebody explain to me (new comer) how the dividend work? e.g. can you buy the shares before the ex-divi day and sell after the record date and will still the dividend pay out a month later?
If so, this is no brainer to get last year's final dividend.
many thanks for your kind advice.

Nor do they consider the dire performance of the pound ... Woodford was talking down HSBA over the weekend with his regular article ... Guy seems too smug to me ... And I fail to see how avoiding banks and picking 4 or 5 high yielding Ftse stocks warrants an investment ... Might as well invest in the index and save on mis-management fees.

I have a feeling HSBA will open higher on ex divi day than it closes ;)
