Seemed like there is a fight on language in this investment thread

For me, language is a way for us to communicate and express our thinking and feeling...if your target audience can understand what you're saying, then I think it's fine... Anyway, I don't think this is so called manglish...as not most of the Malaysian use this kind of english.

Sorry, it's off topic

Investment should be the method for us to achieve our financial goals...
We can invest in a business...invest in funds...invest in stock or even property...just the risk is different in each investment...once we understand the risk, we can decide which investment mode we should use.

Property investment is the highest risk investment, as it is not liquid as all... Not only you may lose your invested capital, you may need to spend more money on the property if nobody want to rent or buy your property at all...

The capital requirement for company listed is different. If you want to be listed in Main Board, you need more capital. In other words, main board companies are bigger in term of capital. You can read the details of this in www.bursamalaysia.com

About which board you should go...normally main board share is more stable and expensive, while second board share is cheaper but company is smaller compared to mainboard, the risk is higher...you have to judge yourself, how much risk you can take and try to study the particular company's profile and financial condition before you invest in it.

For sure, there are some second board companies perform well and pay out high dividen...The reason they listed on second board is just because their capital is less, if their management is good, then the company will perform well and earn profit...
So, we should study about the companies before we invest...I always believe that not every main board stock is good...and there will be some second board or even Mesdaq companies are good...

In KLSE, there are 3 main categories of companies: Main Board, Second Board and Mesdaq... As far I know, the difference is only the capital of the company...if your company has less capital but you wish to public list, then you can choose Mesdaq, where the requirement is lower...

Yes, you should browse through some topics in this forum to understand more.

FD is not same as unit trust. FD is saving, not really an investment. Unit trust is not saving, it's an investment.

FD interest rate is fixed and you only can withdraw it after its maturity, else you will lose your interest.
Unit trust investment has no guaranteed or fixed return. Its return depends on the price...(actually quite same as share).
