Nothing so surprise.....they bought and sold at the same price, basically they just lose some brokerage fee...

Good morning everyone.

<vested-oldpot><not a call to buy or sell>

I understand that a 18 cents dividend is announced for the first half of 2014.

I own a few OCBC shares through CPF. During the last dividend a few months back, I had opt for scrip. But I had to wait for them to mail me the form, then go to my CPF agent bank to submit.

But due to my overseas job posting, I will only be able to check my mails only 1-2 months each time. As such, I might miss the letter and miss the chance to opt for scrip this time.

Do anyone here knows if there is a way of doing this online?

Thank you very much for the help.

here is the link may be you can find something there

I recall, you can opt for a permanent one, which means future dividends are in scrip automatically, if the scrip dividends are available. It might not help you this round, but might help for future rounds.

Thanks. I recalled there is such an option as well. But the cautious me decided to opt for script one at a time... Regretted my choice. Taking OCBC bank scrip is often a safe choice in my opinion.

But let say if one choose permanent scrip, does it mean it will no longer send me the notice and I had to call the CPF agent bank to convert back myself if I decided to go for cash on the next round?
