Passive Income from Stock Dividends?

Passive Income from stock dividends? Yes, We can.

Keppel Corp declared dividend of 21 cts.

I started investing and trading Keppel Corp since 2001 so it is possible to collect dividend and trade at the same time. Keppel Corp is one of my biggest Pillow Stock.

Results as follows:

Dividend ROC (on last capital invested) = 90%
Nett ROC on 89 trades (on last capital invested) = 41%
Win/Loss ($) on 89 trades = 1.6 (mainly contra losses came from 2008 due to GREED and overconfidence of beating Mr Market wiping off 61% of past profit)

Painful lessons learnt - years of gains wiped off in just a few months!
