With regards to stocks, what does the term ‘’shorting’’ mean?
I assume if I should buy a stock before its dividend pay-out date and then subsequently sell the stock after getting the dividends, that is ‘’shorting’’ correct?

Even as the OCBC Plus! Visa is not a cashback card, thus there is no cap, or "maximum" cash back, you get to still earn rebates in the form of cash rebates and LinkPoints by shopping at NTUC. However do note that there is a minimum spend of $500 in places outside NTUC before the full range of rebates and LinkPoints can be unlocked.

Unfortunately, the HSBC advance card is not an unlimited cashback card as they have a cap on the cashback per month, even for advance banking clients. Furthermore, if you are not an advance banking client, you would not get subsequent card fee waiver if you do not get to spend at least $12,000 in a year.

First of all, unlike other loyalty programmes, the American Express Personal Card membership rewards points do not expire. Furthermore, with no restriction on the number of points you can stand to accumulate, you just need to choose the reward you want and you'll have time to get it, pretty much the skies can be your limit as you can use the points the way you want from redeeming shopping, travel and entertainment rewards to offsetting purchases made on your Card.

This strategy is called the dividend capture strategy whereby an investor buys a security to capture the dividend, and then sells that security to buy another security that is about to pay a dividend. By so doing, the investor can receive a steady stream of dividend income instead of waiting for an individual holding to pay its regular dividend. To effect this, Investors looking to capture a dividend must buy the security prior to the ex-dividend date to ensure they are a shareholder of record when the dividend is paid. In theory, by doing this and selling the stock after receiving the dividends, you should be able to capture numerous dividends. However, in practice this is not always the case.
