Hi all. Very new to stocks.

I’m looking to dive into dividend/reit investing. I already opened a (presumably) nominee account with Rakuten Trade.

I think I will be investing around once every 3 months.. around 5-8k each time, as my focus is still on FSM UT.
Should I pursue self depository account instead? Which brokerage generally has better reviews? Thanks.

Ya he didnt. I am actually new to share market, so he is trying to make me do some homework.

Please tell me if you remember later! Thanks!

Yea wanted to go study this company before making any decision.
But I am not sure which one is he referring too.
Newbie to share market.

Any comments on this stock? buy call?

Hi All,
Im new to stock trading, im reading on some Financial Report, trying to figure out the financial status of the company, im abit confuse btw Liability and Assets.

I compared YTL corp and YTL power, i realize 'Total Assets' and 'Total Equity and Liabilities' always has the same value? If they always has same value, how can i determine whether their financial status are on debt or good form?

And to get the debt ratio, i shud use Borrowing/Asset or Liability/Asset?

It is called balance sheet, so both must be balanced.
Eg.
You borrow 1 mil to buy a house that value Rm1 mil
In the account.
Borrowing/liabilities is 1 mil
Asset 1 mil.
So both side will be always the same.

You want to know its total debt, then total up the current debt + long term debt.

Liabilities = current debt + long term debt + all the creditors.

Debt ratio is not the key, it is cashflow (especially operational) that sustain the debt that is most important.

Just like A buy a house 1 mil, debt is 1 mil, but every month earn 50k, the 1 mil debt is not a problem.

While B's debt is 100k, but B earn 1k per month, B is in serious debt problem.

Thx for explain
So could i say Liability/Asset is not important?
Is 'Cash at the end of the Financial Period' is the total cash they holding at the period?
How much Cash/Debt ratio would be consider healthy?

No, they are important as well.

There is no such thing whatever ratio is healthy or unhealthy, it depends on individual company situation, particularly industry, debt maturity/tenure etc.

Yes, you can see it from the balance sheet as well.

There is no such thing see a few ratio, then already conclude something.
Eg.
Reit has little cash, because they will distribute most of profit made every quarter/semi-annual.
So they are not good?

Thx for explaining, will study more
