No where.

The buyer who queue at 3.32 will get the share at 3.30..

This is a 'jump queue' technique..

Actually I looking at Public Bank and for the past 5 years, the trend is upward. Of course, no guarantee that the share will continue go upward and will not go downward. If really bad luck that the share go down by 50%, I dont think will sell it and will continue to keep for dividend purpose.

My intention is instead of putting it at FD, I looking for high interest return for my deposit. I saw Public Bank dividend on Aug 2015 is 24% and say if I invest 20k, I will get 4.8k return just for the dividend. I hope this is correct. I'm not planning to sell in short period of time and will hold until I really need cash in future. If I have extra money, maybe will buy more for the same share or will look for other high dividend share and keep.

Actually I'm fine if the stock not moving up but of course hope it will not go down coz my intention is to get the dividend yearly which I hope it will be at least 8 to 10%. If the share I invest paying dividend just 5%, I dont think I will invest coz the risk is too high and not much different from FD rate.

I heard got investor that buy share is to get yearly dividend and keep it for many years i.e. 5/10 years and above.

Argh.....I'm so naive thought the 24% is the rate of the dividend.....really need to go for share investment course.....

So basically invest in share is not able to get high dividend lor.....It still need to depend on the share price raise......

Hi All,
    I'm new stock investing and currently living abroad. I'm thinking to buy some Malaysian shares as long term investment for dividend.

Is there any online Malaysian stock broker that allow us to open investment account online without the need of physically presenting yourself.

Thanks for the prompt reply, what are Online sites that provide online account opening facilities?

When you mention CDS do you meant certificate of deposit?

Does Malacca Securities Trading Account  or Maybank trading account fall under this category?
I did some research and stumble upon this

Taken from The Star.

I read it as, by having the bond, they reduce the debt gearing from 0.6 to 0.5

Correct?

Strange as to me, bond is still a debt to the company which they have to pay back plus interest.

Or due to some funny clause in accounting, bonds are not considered as debt?

Hope some sifu can help here. Thanks.

Thanks Sifu!

Are sukuk closer to equity or to debt?
Sukuk can be structured in a variety of ways. In terms of risk/return profile, asset-backed sukuk are arguably closer to an equity position because sukuk holders own the underlying asset and have no recourse to the originator in the event of a payment shortfall. Asset-based sukuk are closer to debt because sukuk holders have recourse to the originator if there is a shortfall in payments.

I did badly in my accounting unit in secondary school time. I am lost as the article above refers to the SAME thing (asset based sukuk) and said 2 different things.

If sukuk = shares (in some Islamic way), then I can see how it reduces the debt gearing. If it is a loan (like normal bond), then I need classes on arithmetic 001, 002, 003 --- 999.

Thanks.

Net Interest Margin

According to Investopedia, NIM is:

NIM = (Investment Returns - Interest Expenses)/Average Earning Assets
Now, a typical bank financial statements will indicate its Net Interest Income, which I assume equals (Investment Returns - Interest Expenses). (correct me if I were wrong)

How could we determine Average Earning Assets?

for those who have invested in stock markets, how do you measure the IRR of your stock holdings? Do you use any tool that can measure IRR/time weighted returns of your stock portfolio?

So you are using the same template as well? I thought the treatment for dividend in shares and unit trust are different.....also, i dont think the template handles stock split, bonus shares, rights issues etc....am i right?

You can try this one... automatic update price by yahoo or google finance. Handle split, bonus issue etc.. and the spreadsheet is save on google cloud.

Ini apa accountant ini, my accountant every month also do cash flow statement one...

I bid 1 cent for KGROUP-OR cos there are sellers for 1/2 cent. But done at 1 cent. I thought should be done at 1/2 cent - seller price ?

Yesterday, same thing happened; got buyers for 1 cent and sellers for 1/2 cent, but all done at 1/2 cent. How come for my case, it's done at 1 cent and not 1/2 cent ?

Sorry, I don't get U. Can pl give an example so I can understand ?
