If you are young and don't have commitments like car payment, you can put RM500 to open up an equity based unit trust fund and do dollar cost averaging (or regular savings plan as some call it) like maybe RM150 a month. The rest you can dump into normal savings which you can then some into FD.

Your statement really fired me up to get involved in the investment.
Can u suggest any unit trust fund that best/good/trustable in M'sia ?

I will do research on what is dollar cost averaging and for the time being,can someone tell me what bank offer this service?

Fixed Deposit.I will do some research bout that too

So if you can keep to a good schedule like that, you're a good shape. 3-4 months later, you'd probably want to start with something safe, like FD, get a feel for the banking industry. Then you'd want to move on to some other thing like Unit Trusts, or maybe by some small equity stake into Astro or something, and if you're feeling adventurous, Forex. Judge your appetite for risk, and learn to draw the line between investing and gambling.
The steps should be taken are FD ---> Unit Trusts ---> Small equity stake ??
I think these steps will be safe. smile.gif

Thx

Hmm, that's odd.

I have a Maybank2u online account and around early this year, I just put some of my freelance earning into FD. It's rather easy, like filling in how much you need and how long the period, where the interest goes and etc then I'm done.

Around few weeks later, I get a statement via snail mail to my home.

Anyhow, the site is under maintenance now so I'll try and see later on smile.gif

Im also interested in doing FD.
I will take a look at the Maybank2u afterwards.
I want to ask is there any minimum requiremnt of money to join this FD at Maybank.

Forex. www.forex.com
Anybody tried this b4?

Feel suprised seeing its up to 50 pages already and realize that it is old topic,revive from the dead. rclxms.gif

About that FD on Maybank2u.I also can access that page.
Maybank give diff. amount of interest if we take different types of months(durations),lets say that if

I take 6 months and interest rate is 3.5%,
At the end of 6 months,do I get my money back + 3.5% interest rate for 6 months

OR

Do I get my money back + interest rate for each of month in 6 months.

err,does this sound confusing?
