Guys, do anyone know how can we buy stock in US ?

As i know we can use osk188 or hlebroker to do so.. any idea ?

anyone know the fee charges difference between CUP and DUP? one is commit another is direct unclear purchase for maybank

i just been inform maybank cash upfront account comission only 0.1% wonder all those senior aware of this, either any term and condition?


anyway i am using margin account which charge only 0.4% pertrade, i found it expensive.
people in united state can even trade fee via www.zecco.com, why we malaysia here not so competetive?

maybankinvest user here,

the dealer told me that i am not allow to buy maybank (1155) stock, due to bank negara policy...unless...i open another cash account. Too complicated, I don't understand, do you know why?


+

i have sufficient fund in margin account...

it is against the policy to buy the maybank stock. I dunno y, but it is in the policy when u apply for M2U online trading account.

I went to open a trading account last week in maybank and that's what they told me.... that I have to open a cash account if I want to buy maybank stocks. When I asked them why it was so, they told me that you can't use maybank account to buy its own shares....

Anyway, I'm a noob in stocks.... hope to catch the fallen knife on the floor... wishful thinking, I know...

another noob question here

if a already opened a trading acct + cds with aseambankers, i can access online stock thru m2u?
if i want to buy stock thru online, do i need to first put money into aseambanker's account?
can anyone teach me on this pls

p/s sorry i noe this thread is from long ago but i just don't wan to open another new thread

Off topic - but anybody else cant seem to find the online stock button on m2u tonight ? I can't find it in the main menu.

You can divert to the online trading when you login thru the main site (there is an online stock login below first time login).

Kinda pissed off with maybank. Went to open a cash account more than 2 weeks ago but still not approved.

Called them today (probably the 5th time) and they said "got some mix up problem".... whatever that means....

Anybody can recommend me any other banks that I can open an online trading account with? However, I would need easy fund transfer (no charge) to that particular account from maybank and HSBC......

i got acc with maybank too. I waited for a week and call them but they said not yet open cannot activate. BUT I went ahead and activated it online myself and GUESS WHAT!! I manage to activate online.

So I went ahead and trade. Then after 3 days, got call from Maybank Shareinvestment telling me now can activate. SO guess there are too slow huh. Anyway I did not tell them off.

I think HLebroking can transfer funds from Maybank also.

Interesting. I tried to activate but the activation webpage is under maintenance..... (and it is written maintenance from 17 Oct to 18 Oct 2008..... )

No wonder everybody is complaining about the maybank2u.....

the webpage is always under maintenance
look like weekday after 12am and weekend is whole day !

Maybank2u is always like that. Very slow and bad navigation and always to have more outages than others.
I heard they outsource this to a local MSC company that supposedly perform world class work.

I think they better get their money back.

True, the remiser also lousy, always missing in action when I am about to make critical move...

I got M2u account too. Onli prob sometimes system slow. So guess i should be changing. Now awaiting approval from HLebroking.

First time doing online stock trading so forgive me for the noob questions.....

Ordered some stocks through maybank stocks online at 3pm.... guess it went into the buy queue....

Then when I check the status at 5pm, it showed "All matched" at around 3:02pm...... however, I think the transaction hasn't gone through yet....

Can I cancel the order or should I just wait for the "buy order" to go through tomorrow?

And can I actually queue any orders tonight?

If it shows all matched, then the transaction is done.

Cool! Thx!

Tomorrow start a new session!
