In this unstable market, better look at high dividend yield stock.
I personally like PARAMOUNT. WHY????
Special dividend (about 29 cents, market capital 807 million divide by RM 1.33 = 607 share, 177 million/ 607 share = 29 cents) + normal dividend coming. ( expect 4 cents enought, last year 4Q announce 6 cents)
About 33 cents / 1.33 = 25 % return in 1 year, not bad!!! ( Buy at own RISK)
How I know???
