Bursa should auto add all the CDS account in your name into the app based on your IC.

Should not be a problem.
When I registered, I only had 1 account with AmBank.
Few days later, I opened another account with Maybank and it is now in Bursa Anywhere app already.

There you go. It only links direct CDS. Shares in nominee account are under the bank's name not yours but you have legal claim on those shares.

The adjustment is correct from the accounting POV.

Let's say a company's share price closes at RM5 just a day before the ex-dividend date. It's net assets is RM4 pers share. Goodwill is then RM1 per share (RM5-4).

If this company suddenly declare a RM0.50 dividend, it has to pay out CASH RM0.50 per share.
Therefore, on ex-dividend date, it is deemed that the company paid out immediately to the shareholders.
Hence, the new opening price adjusts to RM5.00-RM0.50 = RM4.50

Obvious reason is that AirAsia has money but no new projects that require that much money to fund.

Or it could mean that potential projects now generate a return lower than the cost of equity. So, better return back to shareholders than to invest in such projects.

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.

You don't get my point. I'm just showing an example.

Sometimes one lump sum can be dangerous especially when you mistime your point of entry.

For example, my recent regret not to DCA was few months ago. I had RM15,000 and wanted to invest in Takaful. I bought immediately after their excellent quarterly results at RM6.75. I entered whole lump sum of RM15,000.

Few days later, Takaful dropped to RM6.00. Turns out EPF was working with a competitor "FWD Takaful".

The loss is greater than the transaction fees saved. In conclusion, strike a balance between DCA and your savings in transaction fee. To be honest, people who whine about transaction fees should stick to f.ds. Trying to save a few RM10 is on transaction fees is stupid when you can easily lose a few RM100s.

Additional information that maybe interesting:

There's a research done by Vanguard that shows one lump sum investment into an index is better than DCA across 12+ months.

However, do note that their research is based on an index. A stock is more volatile and you might want to DCA your way in.

It's not attractive to me as you may eventually catch a falling knife like BAT.

Reasons:
1) P/B ratio is crazy at 21.3 times. This is not even a tech company.

2) Low liquidity. Minimum units is 100. At a price of RM49.94, this is a high cost of entry.

3) My family doesn't drink milk/dairy products often. Even if we do buy milk, it's Farm Fresh, not Dutch Lady.

4) EPS and dividends fell/downward trend.

5) Cash to Market Capitalisation is a joke. It's only 1%. Imagine running a RM3 billion ringgit company but only have RM30 million as cash. It's also using overdraft for some strange reason.

You can also calculate it yourself for accuracy reasons.

Some websites do provide beta in the form of:
1) 3 month
2) 6 month
3) 12 months

So buy the dip? Scared catch falling knife..
MYR confirm depreciate like shit

Buy the dip.

Source: I know someone who made 100% return when market crashed badly in 1998 because Anwar was sacked for sodomy. Just hold don't sell.

I think will drop further until leadership is certain.

Yup I believe March or April is a good time to reenter not now because US also dropping and will impact Malaysia.

For me, I will just stick to my favourite QQQ ETF and keep buying if it falls.
Moving in and out incurs fees and the chances of messing up is high.

If I remember, treasuries, bonds and gold is sometimes unpredictable during recessions. Why? Let's take gold for example. Gold in recession tends to go up. However! There are also people who bought gold long before the recession and will sell gold when it's high to buy the cheap stocks. Hence, no fixed rule saying gold will always go up.

Safest is gold. Some recommend Bitcoin
If fiat money then I guess it is USD or Yen.
But right now, the virus is involved. Meaning if Japan fails to contain the virus, high chance it will depreciate.
So maybe you can bet on the country that can properly contain the virus or no people infected.

Bond ETF is just like a bond but like an 'average bond'.

Not really a good example but here goes:

Let's say there is a bond ETF comprising of 80% AAA, 15% BB, 5% B grade with par value RM1000 and 4% annual coupon.
Now if all 5% of B grade bonds default and the companies go bankrupt without paying anything, you are still left with 80% AAA and 15% BB.
So your par value in theory becomes RM950. Coupon payment may drop because B grade bonds cannot pay.

This means there is no 100% guarantee you will get back your par value when it matures BUT high chance of getting something back.
If invest in 1 bond alone, you may lose everything.

Hmm. But I thought corporate raider refers to outsiders trying to gain control of the company by buying up the shares?
Usually companies will have takeover defenses like golden parachute (e.g. management exercise options when price goes up due to corporate raider buying up shares) or poison pill tactics (e.g. loan becomes callable immediately if there is change in management).

This one is like problem with Independent Directors and Remuneration Committee.

Moral of the story: Don't buy family owned businesses or those with controlling interest >51%.
As long as they have >51% they can do anything they want with the company.

I really don't know but I guess can say it's fraud.
The Remuneration Committee should only give ESOS and benefits according to the performance of the Directors.

Haiyo so fast. My money not yet deposited. Hope it drops more so can collect.

What's more worrying is will it even recover? If I recall correctly KLSE is one of the worst performing markets.
