Haha no wonder I never able to sell off my shares.

When stock price goes up, my profit targets also go up. LOL.

Pros n cons. One can c the greater appre in cap for holding long enuf. Regardless of market boom. Its greater than any resi in the past 20 yrs. In fact I'm stil holding 1 unit LH which aged 21yrs. Price offered so far is x5. No special case. Just the trend. Sold 1 last yr with x4 the ori price holding 15yrs.

Of cos some resi might oledi hit x3 holding few yrs. But how much is the rental along the way. Maintenance to up keep the unit??? I din spend much cos tenants hav done it to their liking. The more they reno, the higher the value. And they won't simply run away due to high investment in reno. Diff fr resi tat owners need to hav ff for higher rental for which is a factor to the total investment value. The investment into ff is not sthg falling fr sky like rain.

Holding it long enuf enable few rounds of increment in rental and recovery of huge portion of loan amount. By the time u sell, some oledi debt free. All money go into pocket rather than loan settlement. It wont b a fantastic moment along the way waiting for the fruit. Flipping is a skim cepat kaya. Quite diff species for both.

I won't touch for now.

stop-lost don't work during a free fall of stock. trading happen when your price match the asking price.

lets say you stop lost at RM10 while the panic market lelong at RM9, your trade will never happen since they need to match all the RM9 stock first before doing your RM10 stock ... then people lelong at RM8.

you need to be in the market to actively change your price ... and of course your broker/remiser need to be able to key it in fast enough ... .. .

profit taking target would work, since your price will be lowest during an up trend ... you be bust stopping the sell and waiting for better price.

market going either way, its not good for your blood pressure.

Welcome to the gang! My tuition fee was very expensive

Not only the inflation, the interest actually kills.

I hv read abt a master trader's story, real one. The pressure and attention required is not for ordinary people. If u want to do it part time, u will be the lowest of their food chain.

Hi ManutdGiggs,

Thank you so much for your advice!

Are there really ready market for land? Is there a possibility there would be no buyer when I'm ready to sell, say a decade later. ( Sorry for such noob questions!) Thinking harder, hold land also means no passive income until I sell it off .. Any idea how much land price appreciates on the average ( 10 years holding period ) vs a residential property. Just give approximate. Wanna get a feel of these only.

Btw, where can I start searching for land sale? Land office? ( another stupid question, I know! )

What about penny stocks?

People usually go and buy stocks which got rumours and then quickly sell it off once the rumours are confirmed true or untrue.

For the % of appre, guess abang edyek should answer u on tis part. Yes they might b time tat u r not able to dispose even after 20 yrs + no passive income as u mentioned. Tats y many earn big bucks in land and oso kantoi if chosen wrong land.

Btw no Q is noob Q. Guess u r experienced investor here. Just maybe diff portfolio.

These r what I call TOTO stock. It is for fun only. And prody's plan works wonder here.

Foreigner buying makes up to 16% of KL properties transactions in 2012. Most are from china and japan. Singapore rank no 3. With 1 million cap, anybody think it will come down ?

Government's strategy is to avoid foreigner competing with locals in under 1 million segment. Will they still come ?

Meaning that most transaction, especially condo, will be btw malaysians in 2013. Got buyer ah ?

For any investment and plans you make in life, scenarios can occur in which the plan does not work.

Then you have to improvise.

Hey, Abang Edyek, where are you? Can help answer my question?

Hi ManutdGiggs, thanks again for your reply. No le, not much experience. Trying to learn from learned members such as yourself. BTW, what's kantoi? I read another funny jargon in a non investment thread in this forum- piak piak her. - means what that means, huh?

hi gspirit01,
Why is it called Toto stock? 5 sen go up 1 sen oledi 20% profit. Not bad wooh... more than good fun, if we can tembak correctly? Any good stock to recommend, huh?

With only 1m cap, government managed to make locals compete with foreigners for a piece of our own midrange properties. High end should be 2m+, IMHO. Not really a lot of $ when they buy using foreign currency ..

It is cheap and chances of wining is low. If win, can win big. This is y i call TOTO.

Lol. Luckily u didn't ask me.

Just curious, what is ur gender and age ?

can u share where u got this from, link?

this is the 1st time i read such a statistic.

becos so far, i only read official figures - less than 2% bought by foreigners. just "kl", maybe higher but 16%... really?
