I wanna learn stock exchange, but I don't wanna charge into blindly and listen to random rumors. Are there any good books to recommend to learn about analysis and etc?

Guys... My reit has a 0.0194 payout per share and i hold 900 units. So i supposed i get paid 17.46 . But i only receive 10 something in my account. Is it because of transaction fee?

You are lucky if you can get 7-10% dividen  in unit trust.Of course stock is better.Capital gain + dividen
I recommend ARREIT (Amanah Raya Real Estate Trust).Dividens 4 times a year.Now below 80 sen.iPO price 1rgt.

R we near the lowest for the current pandemic now or just the beginning when it will fall further

I'm having a strategy of value investing:
1. ROE must be above 10%
2. THE FCF/Revenue must be above 5%
3. Revenue and net profit must be continuously increasing over the last 5 years. Ideally, have a profit margin that is increasing slowly.

This is the filter that I have when screening for stocks. Only stick to 3 cause if I stick too many, think that'll be too strict and will miss out on counters.

However, am having so trouble to actually come up with the intrinsic value of the stock and the margin of safety of the stocks.

Wondering if any sifu here can help with that or to see if the requirements are good enough ! Thansk a lot !

Fundamental Analysis over the long term will always prevail. In the words of Benjamin Graham, over the long term the market is a weighing machine. This is correct to me, but it is not the issue which people are making it out to be. So what is the underlying issue?

It is a basic assumption a lot of people make when talking about FA.

Everyone thinks their Fundamental Analysis is always correct.
Fundamental Analysis is not a common mathematical equation which is the same for everyone. This is the art of it which is more important than the science. The science is getting the common denominators like 4Q PE and Free Cash Flow. Everyone gets the same data calculations. Then what? You need to create the frame (story) to fit these data points in and this varies greatly from investor to investor. Industry knowledge, macro forces all come into play. Two companies with a PE of 15x and a free cash flow of RM100M is not the same.

FA is not the problem.
How investors think their FA is good enough...is.

EV hype is indeed very high in the stock market across the globe.

Strong growth in this area almost surely.
But have doubt the big hype turns into big profit.

Could be another dotcom repeat history.
Some success, some not

But for now, anything touch with EV and tech, fly to moon.

But this could really the forward moving trend for automobile industry. Just like how people switched from horse and carriage to steam engine and then now. It could be much more in the future instead of temporary hype. What do you think?

any reputable writers / websites to follow regarding advice on Bursa ?

and just out of interest, do forumers here trade on Bursa full time or just put into a company / sector you think has a future of improving ?

thinking along the lines of Latitude, Press Metal ... how to spot a good stock ?

haha yes, Caveat lector ... up to us to decide what to believe in.

how about lessons on how stock / stock market works ? at least for beginner, because from what I see there are companies who are already successful before listing (Dialog / MMC) .... and also companies who list in the hopes of becoming successful ? (Stone Master)

can collect for long term dividend, before this pandemic TG's CAGR is quite okay.

yours is widescreen.....     

mine is macam letter box.... 



which is more efficient?
Answer? The one that you are most good at.
Clearly the stock is bias to the downside...
the volume is shrinking - indicating the lack of interest...

so getting in anytime now versus being the patient one... well, which do you choose?

sitting tight is mostly fine for me. Usually when the vol decreases and price goes up, together with some other factors like news and alerts in qr will make me sell, when things clear up a bit and charts go back up, I will then find reentry.

i do like to look at various companies and see how their businesses doing but they are of secondary data, aren't they? all we can do is googling and reading and sometimes confirmation bias happens.   

it's a lonewolf job but too much info stirs things up too from various comments. have to strive for a balance. 

Nah... I do some homework updating for you...

Here's a case study on TG very good dividend...

so assume here... we follow the big big boss and buy shares the same time and at the same price.... wonder the current result?



The highlight in yellow is a DBT transaction....

So he bought 41,130,600 shares valued at 226,938,480.61.

Wahalauehh... RM226 million......

Average price = 5.45

This morning opening price is 4.47.

That's ONLY a paper loss of 43.084 million....

Yeah, but TG gives out good dividend mah....

Here's the dividends he got...



A total of 17.650 million!!!
So if you follow the big, big boss buy... you will get 17.650 million in dividend but then your share is sitting on losses of 43.084 million.   
Dividends? How? Big, big boss dumps in 226 million into his company, and yet...................... 

Apparently they got a whole new range of products...

Anyway, I am indeed familiar with Amway as I had discussion on the stock lonmg ago with Smurfs

>>>>>

Not too long ago Smurfs talked about Amway, in another thread - click here and see post#50
My reply was here - see post 53

Anyway, this Amway example, showed the risks in investing/trading for dividends.
BECAUSE once the profits for the company decline, the dividends, naturally, wold decline too.
... and with it... the stock price would decline too.

Conclusion? Dividends is not a 100% gimme.

And once the dividends are cut...
the stock price will follow suit and decline too!

And for the case of YTL and YTLP...
both are huge companies...
but look at the stock price the last 5 years......

>>>>>

anyway, it's now 2021...
Its dividends, it has stopped falling....
the stock price now compared to 2016... very different (see, I would have die die argue to sell in 2015 and 2016... )

Profits? The last reported quarter was kinda a blowout quarter....

so yea... there's a personal benefit for myself when I make long posts...
those 'bad stuff' or poor stuff... it doesn't really hold true anymore...

see? see?

so if you are uncle enough. Amway during economic crisis will do better or do worse?



somehow affected

hahahaha !!!

It's a never ending process.

Smurfs

so that's my review of an old writing.... what about yours? found anything interesting to blow out some water? 

Lets take AMWAY for example :

Amway, one of the world largest direct selling business with handsome dividend payout (for now not anymore) , share price had plunged 30% from its peak. From the charts, we can see the price started to drop since Q4 2014.

To dig further, we need to use Google or our memory to trace back what actually happened during Q4 2014. There are few major events happend back then namely :
1) drop in crude oil price ;
2) which lead to RINGGIT drop ;
3) which increase the product cost for AMWAY since they imported their product to Malaysia.
