Wei anyone wanna proxy for me to get free gifts? 

But hor...sacrifice half day annual leave...about RM100

Is the voucher worth RM100 ar?

u dunno fundamentals of stocks

i would very much agree on this. thats why i am choosing reit as a the first step lo.

my initial plan was to get 1k unit each @ 1lot* thats why was looking at @rm1

many thanks for the advise all. the 3 listed out, are those any goods? probably taking amanahraya and amreits

Still can? which broker will sell you one share?

Seems a bit like winning the lottery then.

Wei.. I will be a bit malu IF I attend AGM with only 1 share.. then claim the voucher from the pretty girl at the reception. 

It's like going to someone's party and give RM 1 'gift'.. 

They do check your depositors record at the entrance of AGM one.. 

I heard about 1 retired uncle&auntie in Sinkapor, every SGX counter he buy 1 lots go attend ALL the AGM ... 

Maybe he is boring and got nothing to do.. 

Go so often.. until his pictures start to appear in the internet... 

just notice that this is reit thread    agree with you that the management fees cost some pains, especially long term. However, I saw some ppl invest RM500 in shares (each transaction) where the broker fees alone can kill the profit.

People are weird like that. Some people just want to gamble I guess. More convenient than Genting lol?

COULD have
SHOULD have

Those are dirty words in investing, trading and gambling

True there's management fee for funds, but it's only 1.0% to 1.8% p.a.
And sales charges...nowadays online platforms only charge 0 to 2% max compared to 5.5% to 6% by banks.

For people with small capital and not much time and knowledge, funds are a good way to start.

I also started with funds, RM1K initial, every month top up RM100 without fail, when got annual bonus dump in lump sum. Yeah returns were slower compared to stocks (hey, but 6-10% p.a. ain't THAT bad), but it gave me peace of mind and a way to slowly accumulate my capital for stocks faster than FD returns (3%+).

Had I jumped straight into stocks with RM1K...how many stocks can I buy to diversify?

People with big capital outright will never understand people who (had to) start small.

Just let me rant lar...tension at work. Rant here better than to storm into my CEO room and flip table

But what I just stated is the reality...which many don't (want to) realise

See how Quill is screwing us the ikan bilis

Glad I exited
