Ya...indeed very expensive..... previously before lot size change to 100 shares...
the lot size is 1000 shares...and at 49.00 that will be RM49,000 is almost a Myvi car.....

but nowadays, at least lot size 1 = 100 shares = RM4,900 similar to a new 110 cc motorbike.....
But.... i see that this BAT.... never jalan.... now... it run like a bull.... probably it is a short marathon run...only...
probably will back to square one...

Never Jalan is a wrong word to use on this stock, short term, may be.

I once bought this stock during 90's at Rm18.50. Now become Rm4x.xx, not yet count in around RM2-3 dividend each year.

But I don't have it now. Sold it with good profit after keep for sometime around RM25 or so (I forgot liao), may be at that time "too green" too short sighted, never realise or experience enough to know the long term benefit.

So if one kept this stock for years or decade, one is making good profit out of it, especially if accumulated 10+ year dividend alone, it should more than RM20 per share already, not yet on capital appreciation side.

not everyone can afford buying this counter unless you are damn rich.
RM4900 for 1 lot!! real insane
even i dump everything i got to buy this share, i can buy not more than 100 lots.

My relative bought this stock last year, she is not damm rich, just ordinary working class people, she just bought 1 lot cost near 4K, she bought around Rm39 (roughly like that).

Don't tell me RM4k is not affordable for stock market kaki out there. No offence.

I don't see why cannot just buy 1 lot, you still invested 4K only, compared with buying 100 lots in 0.40 (which also 4K) some goreng stock never give dividend with poor fundamental which also 4K.

haha..
i think we used to buy penny stock, 1 time buy a few tenth or hundred thousands lots so feeling buying 1 lot seems to be a little weird.. smile.gif
but also can earn la..
your relative bought RM39, now around RM49, she already earn RM1000.
just that the profit margin not large, if she use the RM3900 to buy penny stock that moves UP, maybe she will get more than RM2000 in return, but there's a risk when buying penny stock

Haha, she bought it last year or so.

So if she used the 4K to buy those penny stock, high chance those 4K become 2K or less now.

A lot of people always think penny stock worth to bet on because a rise a few ten cents could mean severl ten % or 100 % rise. But how many people actually succeeding doing it? No offence.

Most either being burned or just earn a few then cabut already. Again no offence, just speaking out from experience and observation over the long term on most retail investor.

Penny stock also can go down one, not necessary must be up. In fact the risk of penny stock bursting is high though.

Don't mean penny stock is not worth, just things are not as simple as we taught. smile.gif

Risk is different in both case. She made Rm1,000 steadily without much worry or looking at stock market.

Profit margin around teen number in % pa. over the long term period, is considered a very good performance in stock market.

Cheers. smile.gif

I agree on the part of arguement too expensive to own one for ordinary investors on Berkshire Hathaway because 1 share already cost USD 100K already. icon_rolleyes.gif

But still its got class B share as well which at much lower price but still is a couple of thousand as well.
