Hi I am new in trading. May someone explain to me what is realized loss? I buy 400 unit share at 17.96 but it keep dropping in share price so I decided to sell at 13.66 so in my account show realized loss of Rm-1748. So that mean I had loss my capital or I had loss rm1748 from my capital which is (400x17.96)?

Please enlighten me guys, thanks

Stock price doesn't drop continuously, it will rise again. The issue is will current shareholders hold on, buy more or to take opportunity to sell?

Lost RM1,748 without counting fees yet.

Like yggdrasil mentioned, loss of RM 1748 from your capital which is 400 * 17.96

However, your actual losses is RM 1,748 + Brokerage Fee @ Buying + Brokerage Fee @ Selling
=RM 1,748 + approx RM 10 + approx RM 10
= RM 1,768 total losses

Thanks. Is that mean by calculation (400*17.96 = rm7184 which is my capital but now I loss rm1748 from my capital and my capital become rm5436)?

So mean I should get back my rm5436 reduced capital into my trading account?

Wonder is it because genting close shop haha

Jokes aside, the rise of Robinhood in the US also shows retailers fueling the stock market movement

As long as many retailers linking jewellery shops stock price with gold price, the market remain irrational, emotional and gut feeling.

Thanks Ziet Inv

all in ur careplus lkl comfort?

Yes. But amount should be lesser than RM5436 because haven't deduct fees yet.
If you need to ask this question, I think you're not ready to buy or sell.
At least, know what you're doing first

While I am strong believer of the short term growth of glove sector, I am a bit reserved on the long term growth.

China two biggest listed gloves company are pushing hard to venture into nitrile gloves production. Their expansion plan over the next 5 years are ambitious and if you combined with the current ASEAN Big-Five, the industry capacity YoY increase might (I say might because it’s my long term projection, and when you start projecting long term, it’s easier to have more variances if you miscalculate a small tiny part) outperform the glove demand YoY increase.

2nd reason is currently those companies relies heavily on the Taiwan and South Korea company supply on nitrile latex. I don’t know whether have anyone of you done any homework on the material cost. Recently the supply is very tight and material cost will definitely increase soon (although I think it’s negligible compare to the ASP increase). The expansion of China company will make the material supply even more tight and when material demand > supply, price of material will increase and eat into the profit margin of gloves manufacturer.

I sense a very high level of fear even in i3investor forum

How is everyone tat bought mui prop? Still doing ok?

Now at 0.3...waiting it to go up and sell at a loss.

I PERSONALLY think most counters (especially those with heavy retailers' particpation) have higher chance of dropping due to slowly cashing out 'the extra' by retailers for loan repayment. Then maybe slowly rise after that with people start investing for long term via DDA after 6 months of stock knowledge exposure.

I thought it is general rule of thumb to only invest with DDA account? Margin trading = gambling?

What i had learn from august. Buy stock only if ur ready. Haha. I've been trading in my dream every night ever since i bought shares. Planning to cut loss once and for all if the price is not getting better.

They aren't see nothing yet until forced selling of margin finance.

The more retailers participation, the more speculative the counter.

LOL sorry my bad for always using short form. My DDA here is direct debit authorization, something like regularly deduct X amount from your banks to invest (something like dollar cost averaging without timing /reading the share market trend)
