erm, what I meant was... I kept seeing ppl mentioning investment portfolio and etc...

Anyways, for the term portfolio, I always hv the idea that it is something you can show to ppl... Something like a hard copy...

So the portfolio in investment, I meant how does it look like? Is it a file consisting of my previous achievement in investment? or is it just a term used to classified all the investment I have?

Ok ... Erm, wut's blue chip stocks?

Another 2 questions, what's future and options trading?

*Will google it later but hope can get some info here

Hi,
Future and options are derivative from an underlying.
For more info about its components visit this good site Investopedia

I hv not read the book mentioned and don't think I can give u a straight forward answer.

If you look back the KLSE for the last 10 yrs,the Index has tested low of 300 and a high of 1300.It is around 900 at the moment.(I don't hv the actual figures with me and am speaking from memory)
Whereas if u look at individual stock prices over the same time horizon,some stocks appreciated by leaps and bounds,but some stocks r trading at a fraction of it's price 10 yrs ago.

So,whether the mkt is on a uptrend is individual's perception.

=FUTURES=

There are three different segments of futures in Malaysia.

=Equities based futures=
FKLI (Futures of the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index)

=Non equities based futures=
KLIBOR (interest rates futures)
FMG5 (5 years government bonds)
FMGA (10 years government bonds)

=Commodity=
FCPO (Futures of crude palm oil)
FKPO (Futures of kernel palm oil)

The most commonly traded by retailers are FKLI and FCPO. Basically if you want to open an account you need to look for a broker. To open an account, you need at minimum RM2000. How to trade on futures???
.......................
For FCPO, 1 point is RM25. But FCPO's fluctuation is higher at times So despite earning lesser, with the fluctuation, it'll be better. This is just a very very brief overview on the futures market. Do feel free to give some opinions or to ask any questions. BTW, I'm a dealer of all the futures

whut is clearing house?

Woah!!! Seriously, I have no idea Sorry... I can help out if you need infos on shares and futures. But on funds, I do not have access to it. They have several choices under its principal fund. But I can try to help you to check on the Bloomberg tomorrow. I do know someone from CIMB but not in UT... I'll ask and see if he has any idea or not. Not tried it before on funds though. You're considering because of the 50% discount??? Any ideas guys???

anyone here knows any site that provide articles or news that is equivalent to those articles in "the economist"?

I subscribed to that magazine,but i'm too lazy to read it.Since i spend half of time infront of the computer,i would rather read it on the net

Assuming 8% interest in both cases

A) 5 years 50K car loan  = 8% simple interest

Total interest = 50K * 8% * 3 = 12,000

Total payment = principal + interest = 50K + 12K = 62K

Monthly payment = 62K /60 = $1,034

B) 5 years 50K housing loan at 8%

Use Excel financial function
= PMT( interest at each period, number of periods,  principal of the loan)
=PMT(0.08/12 , 5*12 , 50000)
= $1,013.82

(B) is cheaper and you save ($1,034 - $1,013.82) X 60 = $1,260 in interest
