GUD G.U.D. Holdings Limited 14/02/2013 10 $7.95 20/02/2013 6/03/2013
MLT Milton Corporation Limited 14/02/2013 39 $19.13 20/02/2013 6/03/2013

RMD pays only 1.7c (!) for their price of $4.30 or Milton pays 39c at its price of $19.13. So in reality the dividend size does not so important in lifting the SP up. Some gold stock are trading at P/E ratio of 5 or even lower. I think only a market sentiment drives the SP price up.
