Of course, i will read up before making any moves. Trying to gather as much info that i can and monitor the market.
Agree, paper trade that you are referring to, is it the stock game? I think Maybank and OSK had it right?
If this is not what you were referring to, please guide me to the correct one, thanks.
I felt the same thing about the oversupply of properties in Malaysia. Secondly, I don't know whether it's the right thing (or it's just me) but the weak RM worries me if i want to keep something for long term. That is why i thought it's better to be a trader for now. Few months ago while reading up, REIT was my first choice.
The only stock that i have now is my company's US stock (employee stock plan). I've been holding it and it's collecting dividend. I leave this as long term saving because it's making profit and some of it were purchased when 1 USD ~ 3.2 RM.
I still have a lot to learn though and will find some suitable books to read.
Thank you!

for my type of paper trade,
is really, after analysis the particular stock,
blank paper, put in stock name, date, buy price, quantity, aim for 10%/20%/30% growth (any % your preference),
then sell price,
after that i put into my excel file..
after you got enough confident,,
then you may go buy and sell at real market..
current i am using rhbtradesmart and m+..
lot of term and condition, make sure you know what is all the charges fees before you buy and sell..
if not gg.com
for my easy way to make you understand, normally the charges will be your 1-2% of your capital that you invest on buy and sell particularly
i still learning, but at least now i am not a newbie.. haha..
after learning here for past few month, can said a bit okay now, still way to go to be a intermediate trading person.
