Hi All,
Probably sounds like a silly question. I have been reinvesting back all my dividends so I just look at the overall P&L (+DIV). If let’s say I intend to “withdraw” my dividends to use for other purpose, I wonder how can i track that?
Regards,
Alf
Hi Alf,
I do not understand. When dividends are given, it is assumed that you consumed it (i.e. spend it).
e.g. If you buy DBS for $10 and it is $20 now and during the time, it paid a $5 dividends, your P&L = $10 and your P&L (+Div) = $15.
It does not matter if you use the $5 from DBS to spend or you actually use it to buy DBS or another stock, that will be considered separately.
Cheers,
Evan
