Being able to maximise returns whilst spreading your risk.
A predictable form of investment if you know what you're doing.
Putting you in control and freeing you of fund management fees.
Considerable tax advantages.

Things to watch out for:

The market can be a volatile place.
You must acquire knowledge of what you are doing.
You must monitor your investments.
You must learn the discipline to enter and exit the market on entry and exit signals.


Buying and Selling Stocks

The thought of buying and selling stocks can seem daunting for a beginner but it is quite simple and will grow on you quite quickly once you have some practice. One essential thing to know is that you must go through a broker to buy and sell stocks, only a licensed broker can deal directly with the stock market.


Investing Basics

Contra Trading

Contra is the buying or selling of stocks without having to pay for the cost of the stocks. Once you buy the stocks on contra, you will have to sell the stocks within T+3. At the end of that period, you will have to pay for the difference between your initial buying price and selling price.

If you accidentally hold your shares to T+4, but you do not have $$$ to settle the total value in the shares bought, the broker will force sell your holding at any price, and you will be liable for the difference (Bad case, the losses).

if u reg for e-dividend, then it would be credited into the bank account u provided. If not reg e-dividend, then u wait for cheque

it's 52% to the 90-day trading average price of the company..

reason is that Shell would gain access to BG's multi-billion dollar projects in Brazil, East Africa, Australia, Kazakhstan and Egypt, including some of the world's most ambitious liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects

52% on top the average trading market price

BG shares is listed on London Stock Exchange..

Shell would pay 383 pence in cash and 0.4454 of Shell's B shares for each BG share

Difference between A and B Shell shares

well the Shell-BG Deal would create the world's dominant supplier of LNG
