I'm also a student, so no matter how much time I spend on investing, I will still have time to study..
Time management is important to succeed..

As Jordy said, try to manage your time. Being a student, we have more time to learn about investment, when you come out to work, you will be busier and no time to learn about investment. Im a bit regret that I didnt put much time on stock investment during my Uni time.

Well, during my uni time i never thought of investment or even financial management, not until i start working then only i realised the importance of it.

So, for u, i would said it is a good start. At least you start earlier, realising the importance of investment will really help in future.

As all the others advised...study is ur priority 

I started my UT investment during my last year. It may be late if I could realise it much earlier.

Back when I'm in college 8 years ago, investment is never part of our discussion. Only talk about assignment, projects, exams, play, entertainment, etc

How I wish I can turn back time!
Even when I started working, investment was not in my exposure. Salary, Spend, Not enough -> Salary, Spend, Not enough -> Repeat for 5 years

How I wish I can turn back time!
I also started last year at the age of 27 So consider it late 

But I'm glad I'm more prepared now. Rather than when I'm old and no backup plan at all

If not for the "Rich Dad Poor Dad" book that i read while waiting to find job...i will not be investing. The book really give me a real smack in the face...its time to wake up!!! A lot of thing v juz take for granted, but we din realised v can take control and change.

The problem with our education system is it concentrate in teaching us to study hard and get a good job.

Nothing about financial management. Nothing about financial freedom.

in the end...every1 juz work work work...paying off their loan througout their life...then they tell their children, you should study hard and get a better job than you father...and the cycle continues

It's better to invest in a book to start off your financial planning stage..
Knowledge is power, and if you own the book you can refer to it whenever you feel down..
This is one of the ways I used to boost up my self-esteem when I'm weak, to continue fight for financial freedom..
I suggest you get a book by T. Harv Eker, "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind"..
It's really a good book, sold at MPH stores, and it's easy to understand for beginners..
It tells us the 17 important financial blueprints of millionaires, and teaches us ways to change our old blueprints..
I still read the book, and I feel great reading it..
I finished all 250-over pages in 4 days during my free time..

2 years+ ago, my business turned sour and failed because our big partners stopped funding. I've lost around RM50k (inclusive of 4 months unpaid salary). That time super broke. Went negative, and I was lucky that my GF (now wife) helped me through the tough time

Managed to get a job. Worked as Support. Starting salary RM3600. Was desperate, so gasak the job.

But after confirmation (6 months later) managed to jump to RM4600 and got married. Job requires a lot of travel so changed my car (9 years loan - no choice, no money)

Then I moved into marketing around 8 months in the company. I ran Malaysia like crazy. Worked hard

Now, age28  I've became top salesman for the MNC Company. A Head of the department. Income jump to RM7k - RM10k (after commission and incentive)

Other than that, I've got side income from adsense. Average Monthly, USD500 to USD700

I've made it,
-With my wife, who is understanding and supportive
-With my GM, who is a sifu
-With hard work and sacrifice. Running around Malaysia isn't easy, but the bright side is the claim and allowance is good
-With the hard work I put on my site. Spent 6 months with many sleepless nights doing it. Now, I've sold my site, in return for 3 years adsense space. No more maintenance work needed
-With the extra mile in work and proofed myself

Frankly speaking, I could have made it to 6 digit much earlier, but due to my overspending on gadgets/rubbish, luxury food, many holidays... the milestone got delayed...

That is why my next year resolution is to cut all those unnecessary cost and hope to save more and invest more

Hahaha... like that say also can

Thanks chidori for updating Sometimes I'm only online at night... so will be late on updating it. If you can update it earlier, then kindly help me 

There is no interest rate cut yet at US...juz that US Fed officials hinted on another rate cut....which boosted investors confidence. I think the Fed Meeting will b on 11th dec...then v will know whether there will b surely a rate cut

I think as for KLCI, the +ve impact will continue 2mr as 2mr a big giant set to be listed in KLCI, Synergy-D (now known as Sime Darby Bhd). Its combination market capitalisation is almost RM13billion and analyst predict it will push KLCI up 20 or 30 points 2mr.

As for regional market...I guess there will continuous recovery in December, but still volatile, as everyone will be taking cue from US market, any bad news, everyone will be affected. AT least the 1st round bad financial reports are over...next round will b in January

My 2 cents
