No pain.. no gain...

How else do you think we select stocks..

You can shortlist stocks with low and negative gearing.. and work from there.

Dunno lo.. just try a few number, open up the account and see if it fits what you want.

Hint.. u want stock like nestle.. it is not about the debt.

It is about the dividend growth.

Free cash flow.. very important to divvy stock.

No ratio, fcf > divvy paid for it to be sustainable.

Check it only if u want invest in a divvy stock.

Queue to buy/sell at the right price you want, dont chase the up and downs due to low volume.

For me i see maxis financial performance is on a slow slide...

Not too good in my books. 

For long term counters, must have some reasonable growth at least beat inflation la.. 

Many other candidates out there..

I give you cheat sheet.. google malaysiastockbiz, search counter you want, look at 5 year performance in a glance.

Guarantee easier than unit trust.. 

or you super old skool.. go popular/mph.. go buy this book Malaysia stock guide, cheap only.. new version updated every six month.



Very good to see 10 years performance for ALL the stocks in the market, earnings for 10 Y etc.. for LONG TERM counters..

I still buy and read occasionally.. flip flip see wat counter catch my eye. Got a few good stocks off it.. like nestle..got blown away by the 10Y performance, when i first read the book in 2005 

IMHO I see stock picking is easier than UT picking..       

only read the analyst /blog report AFTER you have chosen your stock, for further feedback/research. Not the other way round. 

Still waiting for people to give me the cheat sheet.. 

For REITs no problem plenty of website.. for stocks.. got a few website but not complete info... mostly have to subscribe. 

Don't have such upside potential wor. Vanguard's balls only shows an upside potential of 23.80% for Ekovest. But I am not really interested in Ekovest for now.

I am looking for stocks with good DY. Otherwise my heart cannot take it.

Hi Guys,

Would like ask which platform is worth joining now? Besides, I am totally new to stock exchange so would like to know any suggested article or book that I should have go through? Thanks first, Boss  

ramjade these are the counters that moves >50% in price vs their dividend yield since last quarter report announce, most of them don't even pay dividend.



hence the real magic is not in dividend, it's earning and expectations.

depends what you want, slowly collect dividend treat it like an FD, or go for capital gain which is much more significant and worth the time to analyse.

I don't think it is worth it unless you really hate reading investment books on your own. How much is the course BTW?

almost 2k..

seems expensive to me 

I have doubt with books because I'm afraid some sections of those books from US may only apply to US stock market. Does this happen to be the case?
Can these two books be apply in our market? Thanks for your guidance
