So anyone mind to tell me what is the 'best buy' and 'best sell' means in a stock exchange ?

Thanks.

actually is up to ya if u wanna pair what with what.. the very important thing is how u know the strategies and trick there... there hav many strategies and trick when u involve in investment like this..

what sort of technique or strategy is applied in trading FKLI of FCPO ar? i mean how does this 2 futures works and in wat situation we buy or sell it?

According to bursamalaysia, a security is sold to the highest bidder and purchased from the lowest offeror.
For example, A and B are orange seller in a pasar malam. A sells at RM0.90 per unit, while B sells at RM1.00 per unit. So to us as consumer, A gives us the best offer and hence RM0.90 is the Best sell price.
Now C and D want to buy orange from A, C willing to pay RM0.80, while D tries nego at RM0.70. If you are the seller A, which buyer will you deal with? Of course the best bidder a.k.a Best buy - C.
Hopefully this orange trade will give you some idea. There are 2nd Sell, 3rd Sell til N Sell as well as 2nd Buy, 3rd Buy and etc...

there are two methods when it comes to trading futures.Fundamental and technical analysis.The fundamental method involves reading news,studying the background of companies that will move the index,make decisions upon the release of some reports and statistics.While the technical method involves studying the price charts,and it is as simple as that.Basically technical analysis is to predict the future by judging the performance of the company/index in the past.In the futures market,it is highly recommended that traders to use technical analysis,because it requires less work, easier and accurate too compared to fundamental,.

In futures you get to profit from both sides.Unlike stocks,you could only "long" or buy and make money when the price of the particular stock rises.For futures,you could not only do that,you could short sell and make money when the price is falling down.

mobiusone, mind to explain futher how does the short selling of futures work?.. what i understand abt short selling is the sales of borrowed securities....how r we goin to borrow securities from brokerage frim to short sell them?

theoretically,that is how short selling works.You borrow,then you sell and in the end you buy back.

but lets make it plain and simple,short selling is opposite of buying/long.
In a long position,you make money when they price goes up.In an inverse order,short is where you make money when the price goes down(provided you are holding a short position)

short selling in the futures market is a bit different from stocks(local).
In the futures market,the process is very easy and could be done swiftly.Just like a normal buying order,you just tell your broker you wish to enter a short position,and your broker will queue your position at your desired price and wait for it to be done.When you think you had made enough money or wished to cut loss,just tell your broker to buy back/close your short position.

property investment is good... but also need to depands on how u does the investment... if u wanna use that as renting make sure u rent the right person and keep the FULL agreements.

finally it need to be a place crowd with ppl...

does anyone know of any free live charts to KLSe?

OSK188 does provide live charts but with a monthly fee, i'm just a student, can't really afford to commit to a monthly fee just for a live chart.

i interested in learning a few trading skills and tricks before buying real stocks and shares

Ya, for futures market, technical analysis is more applicable since it is more on speculative and short term type of invesment (a month or two time frame only).

While buying share for long term investment, it is wiser to do the fundamental part since you aims for long term gain and the health/returns of the company is more important than the daily moving of it share price since at the end of the day, share price is based on its fundamental eg. Genting share won't stay at RM20+ for years if it is not a good and profiting company with good earning results years after years

A rotten ABC company's share may also goes to RM20+ under 'goreng' but it definitely won't stay at there long and after 'goreng' activities faded out it might worth few ten cents only. Study the tech-bubble burst on 2000 and 2nd board-bubble few years back then you will know sometimes shares price can hit ridiculous height but won't last long. That's why I am keeping telling people not to buy the 'goreng' Mesdaq shares for investment purposes, which has been unreasonbale price, but just merely speculative for short term is different story but remember to 'cabut', don't stay there forever, your finger will easily burned.
A lot of Mesdaq's CEO/directors already dump significant amount of their holding already signal you that the price whether is high or not.

versatile creative also like that? Iris really goreng or got ppl want to takeover?

If u open a trading account in Maybank, they will seek a broker for u. But in this case, u r trading online so u no need to buy through the broker what u need is just put some money in ur account b4 u trade.

If u buy publicbank balanced fund, u will get 1153.4 units. More info pls visit www.publicmutual.com.my

First b4 u want to invest, u need to know the goal of ur investment. Usually investor have been advised to invest at least for 3 years for optimum return since your net value will -6.5%. Currently Pittikal is great fund to invest. While for far east, u have to make sure that u have apply the telemutual and follow the global market. Try to use switching power and the cut off day is 3pm . Whenever the global market drop a lot, you can switch it to any bond funds b4 3pm. So u can maintance u net value and buy back units of far east after u think that global market is stable but bear in mind, there is rm 25 for switching back (so dun simply switch) from bond fund to equity fund.
