@all
Based on everything I gathered now, I believe the following would be more suitable.
My suggestion: Each user create dividend override to handle their situation that applies to them.
- Dividend Override
a) Go to https://stocks.cafe/portfolio/toaddoverride to add a dividend for just yourself
b) Fill up all fields accordingly. For the “Dividend Per Share” field, this is what I recommend.
Dividend Per Share = JD.com Close on the day you received the shares x Number of shares of JD.com you received / Total shares of Tencent that you own
e.g. If you received 4 JD.com shares per 100 shares of Tencent on 20 Jan 2022 and since JD.com close that day was HKD 299.8. Then put it to be 4 x 299.8 / 100 = 11.992 HKD
- Add Transaction
a) Go to https://stocks.cafe/portfolio/transactions/update to add the transaction to BUY JD.com
b) Enter all field accordingly. Do check the “scrip” dividend box and also ensure that the “Total” field you entered is the same value as the total dividend value in step 1.
e.g. If you entered 11.992 HKD in “Dividend Per Share” in step 1 and you own 100 shares of Tencent, then you should enter 1,199.2 HKD in the “Total” field in step 2.
Basically, what we are doing in these two steps are 1) Record the JD.com shares received from Tencent as “cash” dividends and 2) Use that “cash” dividend to buy JD.com shares
Hope that is clear.
Cheers,
Evan
