Sifus sekalian, newbie here looking to start investing. How much is a decent sum to start buying stocks? Any recommendation of stocks to buy for mid term returns (2-3 years)?

Is Nestle any good? or too overvalued?

Any idea if it's a good time to enter CIMB?

Saw in The Edge article that insurance don't cover if the distruption is less than 45 days

new Myvi will be big hit in Penang. Coming from Penang, I feel everyone is influenced by the secondhand value before buying a new car. So Myvi always a popular choice there.

any thoughts on sime darby after the demerger? seems like Sime Prop and Sime Plantation both falling

Anybody notice most of the property/construction stocks in red today?

any thoughts on IJM? the price has dropped quite a bit since being removed from KLCI index

hello sifus! I've some Topglov bought around 6.00 and made about 45% unrealised profit by now. Just want to ask opinion on selling and recollect on dips. Planning to hold Topglov for midterm

i entered late at around 2.90. finally not red in my portfolio

me too. i have faith in sime for medium to long term. hoping to top up more at right price when got more bullet

i can't quite accept the sales charges. losing money before actually making anything and also the cost annually regardless if the fund is making money. planning to find good companies/blue chips to invest instead

mind if I ask what's your portfolio looking like?

i haven't ventured into UT yet but most of my friends are only making 6-7% return. Maybe they should go on the FSM forum here to get some tips on picking funds.

For MY i still prefer buying stocks on KLSE and "investing" through ASNB but globally, i will consider UT so I don't have to waste time studying n thinking about so many other countries potential industry and companies.

nice pick! i'm also holding CIMB which i entered at around 6.00. happy to see it grow now. i'm also watching QL Industries as I think the Family Mart expansion will boost their revenue. On a side note, i also eat eggs from QL and love their fishball products

Any thoughts on construction stocks? I know the property market is soft like jelly but I think companies like Gamuda and IJM with major infrastructure project should do well in the coming years especially with all the infrastructure projects coming up

exactly what i'm thinking too. Tencent, apple, samsung and tech giants will definitely be growing in the coming years. I am bullish about China but I will leave that to UT since i find it quite hard to maintain research on so many countries and especially when i cannot read Chinese.

I've been following the FSM discussion for some time. will definitely read up before buying any UT and definitely not buying from agents. Why pay 3-5% when i can get lower sales charges from FSM and eUT.

Maybe my friends pick all the wrong funds.

very true. even everywhere in KL and Penang also mainly empty. I'm only looking at companies with a strong infrastructure project order especially those in MRT and HSR project.
