Also trade in lots of 100? Means min purchase RM100 x 100 = RM10,000???

No, min 10 shares to trade, so min purchase is just RM1000, if price is RM100 per share.

Trades @ multiple of 10 lots
If u buy 10 lots, it means u buy 1,000 units as 1 lot equals to 100 units

2nd tranche close @ 98.50 on 1st day
Down 1.50 with thin volume of 191 lots

traded at 98.02..

YTM = 4.77%

Wise to buy some?

aim above 6% - 8 % yeild to hv be save line.

5% i also consider little.

If you think 5% is little.. why do you buy in the first place?

I think the yield is fair BUT you need to wait until maturity to get the yield which is 15 years more.. if you want to consider as super long term FD then maybe ok lar...

after learn my mistake realize the MSG can increase above 4% , making wise above 6% is save line for bond.

I think the yield is not really bad as bond investment. But considered inflation nowadays easily reach more than 6% per annual ,

if not so desperate..then wait for 3trance sukuk..then possible above 4.58%..maybe 5.1%...

it matter of time.

Mind to share how to calculate YTM?

OR.. you can use online calculator...

So.... are you gonna cut loss or keep in freezer for 15 years?

keep freezer currently...waiting the BOND hot enough i will sell with profit ; use it to buy reits.

Only way the bond can be hot IF MGS yield comes down. but then again if it does comes down REIT will even more hotter as well. They both move in tandem.

there staple reits or other divident stock..like Tiger Bank also drop.

juz suggestion in reits the price still not HOT move; like what u said it move tandem.

Close @ 98.00
Down 2.00 from IPO of 100.00
YTM = 4.77%

This is for tranche 2, right ? Then tranche 1, which gives a lower rate, will be even lower price.
