only Nestle and Dutch Lady is "pricey"
Nestle RM60++ so 1 lot is RM6K++
DLADY RM40++ so 1 lot is RM4K++
The rest...even Maybank, 1 share is only RM9++ so u can invest in Maybank for as little as RM900++.
But u have to bear in mind the transaction costs (brokerage fee, stamp duty, clearing fee). The broker I use charge RM10 min. per transaction. E.g. I buy 2 lots of Maybank (assume at RM9.50), I'd incur RM10 + 57 sen + RM2 = RM12.57
So, transaction costs as % of value transacted:
RM12.57 / RM1900 = 0.66%
Now, who said shares are "expensive"?

haha.. taht is alot of money youve got there bro

to be able to invest the diversified portfolio as we can see on your signature, requires alot of $$ and high income for the commitment.
but i dont quite understand the charges on maybank side. rm10 +
57 sen + rm 2 what is the red highlighted amount about again?
