The "Sell in May and Go away" old adage seems to haunt the Singapore market as the STI drop 37.01 points on Friday. However, I think it is good news for income investor as lower share price will translate to a higher yield as you add stocks into your dividend machine.

May is also the month where all passive dividend income investor will received most of their dividends payout. Will be re-investing the dividends received back into the market.

China gross domestic demand grew in line with market forecasts push the STI sentiment higher this week. Again, the sudden upturn of the STI tells again that we should not buy/sell stocks based on market news. Instead, the focus should be on the stocks fundamental like what kind of business are they in, are they professional managed and do they have a policy to pay dividends.

As the STI stock purchase price gets higher, we can see from the below table that the dividend start to drop due to the higher buying price.
