Hi, newcomer here and planning to invest soon. Just wondering which is a better choice for a newbie, to target the cheaper stock and make quick profit or put in REITs?

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!

Will do

Hi, what are the recommended reading websites before you make a decision to buy a share of a particular company? Eg latest news, company performance etc.

At the moment, i'm only reading the related news from Yahoo Finance.

Thanks!

I've been monitoring Johotin for 2 weeks, it seems to be on a dropping trend last week.

Good to buy? It will be my first share so i'm thinking many times

I see, thanks for the insight. I will look at other shares too.

How would you rate PWROOT? Worth to buy it?

Hi, is this group from this thread or it's a general one?

Which branch is this? I receive season greeting emails only

I was wondering, with the removal of GST, will it affect the stock prices especially for consumer goods?

because i was looking at Nestle, F&N and Dlady and it seems up and down daily. I'm contemplating if i should enter now or wait till 1st June.

You have a point

Hi, i have a newbie question on the dividend, do they issue a cheque or it is automatically added to the unit of shares that we hold?

Noted, thanks!

Hi, by looking at the Air Asia dividend payment example below, does it mean that anything purchased until 14th June 2018 is entitled for the dividend?

I do not see any amount credited to my share account (payout is yesterday, 13th July), so i was wondering


Attached thumbnail(s)

My first purchase was on 31st May, so i'm wondering if i'm entitled.

Also, is the dividend credited back to the same account that i've use to purchase the shares?

Strange, i didn't get any

Mine is Maybank. I've just checked my another savings account (not share account) and i see something in with a long description that has been credited so i've sent an email to my broker to confirm.

I see, thank you for the clarification.
