How do you guys DCA for stocks? I’m on Rakuten trade, and I’m tempted to just DCA like RM1000 on stocks every week, but the transaction and broker fees is like rm12 each time I buy that little.

What’s the optimum amount I should buy each transaction to minimise the fees lost?

Well, it is better to DCA if it helps remove the 'buyer's remorse'
Meaning let's say you want to buy Maybank.

Example:

Maybank is RM10 per share today.

Situation I: You want to buy 1,000 of Maybank in a single transaction to save RM80 fees.

Situation II: You choose to DCA across 2 days. Today and tomorrow. It cost you additional RM80 in trading cost.

Tomorrow turns out Maybank price is RM9.50 per share.

Total cost incurred (Situation I): 1,000 x RM10 = RM10,000
Total cost incurred (Situation II):  500 x RM10 + 500 x RM9.50 + RM80 = RM9,830

Difference is RM170.

Do note that it can work the other way. Meaning you lose potential gains by DCA. So, DCA only if it helps you sleep at night to remove the 'buyer's remorse' feeling.

with low interest rate, and further interest rate cut, does it help the property market in m'sia?

I've some property stocks....

M1 finance allows the user to choose the ETF.

Is there any Robo-adviser that allows us to choose the ETF?

Im looking at MFLOUR via KenTrade:
The commentary says what does "RSI is also showing an overbought condition which indicates some retracement may take place...."
By retracement, do they mean the price may go down ..which I don't get as being overbought, shouldnt price go up?

Can some sifus enlighten me plz,

Hi All,

im currently exploring other options for trading platform (apart from my current Maybank direct CDS) which is abit pricey in terms of brokerage fee.

Im seeing Hong Leong or CIMB per say, any thoughts on this?

Thank you.

if not mistaken, 0.1% of transaction fee or RM 12 minimum

do you hold EWM or other similar KLCI index funds?

Want to ask, what is HSI-xxx such as HSI-H8F, HSI-C7J counter etc all means? why their price like roller-coaster, today drop so much tmrw rise so high???

but if you buy and hold (cash upfront), it's ok, no?

like normal stock, buy and hold... but in this case, you buy and hold, it may drop today, but if it increases tomorrow by 1%, then you can sell and profit 12%?

What would happen if hold until it's expiry date??

where can we actually check abt the "leverage" of each warrant.

just wondering..... if an ETF has gone too expensive, will the fund manager do a ETF split so that the price becomes more affordable?

how do we check the % of foreign ownership in a stock? like as of today?

is it only through the annual report?

so we can only see foreign funds in/out of bursa but not specific stocks?

for example, I want to see what % of foreign ownership for MBB. If the % is high and recession hits, then I can assume foreign investors would sell so the price would drop further. If the % is low, then I can assume the price will not go any lower?... I think.

in times of a maybe recesssion,is it better to invest in main market counters vs ACE market stocks?

we buy the Irish domiciled stocks / ETF to lower the tax on dividend, right?

if a stock / ETF doesn't declare any dividend, does it matter if you buy the US one or the EU one?

I see. So, for gold and silver ETF, it's better to buy those listed in the US then. Thanks!

those cows r expensive =D..
