Buy warrants instead

what is warrant actually?

short FKLI futures (margin RM4,000 i think, but if you have RM40-80k, you no need to worry of the margin)

I am using PB investment platform.

Can't short or sell stocks I dont own.

how?

wanted to edit my post but you saw it already...

ok here goes
you can open a futures account with your broker.
if you are afraid of leverage, you can just buy 0835EA counter, which is shorting the FBM KLCI index without leverage

U find a broker that can offer u IDSS.However, that is only intra day shorting of the stocks. U have to close position by end of day

The longer term shorting is called RSS, no broker offer that to normal retail.

Otherwise, as mentioned by others, trade futures FKLI or find a broker that allows u to trade 0835EA.

yea as per Cubalagi bro.. u need special brokers that can short

Warrants are issued by companies, giving the holder the right but not the obligation to buy a security at a particular price.
Companies often include warrants as part of share offerings to entice investors into buying the new security.
Warrants tend to exaggerate the percentage change movement compared to the underlying share price.
Types of Warrants
There are two different types of warrants: call warrants and put warrants. A call warrant represents a specific number of shares that can be purchased from the issuer at a specific price, on or before a certain date. A put warrant represents a certain amount of equity that can be sold back to the issuer at a specified price, on or before a stated date.

If you seriously wanna short the warrant is the best as it cheap and easy to get out because unlike 0835ea as the volume is low

You need to which company you interested and put warrants in Bursa

sounds like options to me

Very different as warrant is obligation and must while options are contracts which are not binding

The only same thing with both is whether you put or call

have you opened any positions in options before (FYI, i do. vanilla and synthetic options)? I don't see how if i sold an option that ITM, I can choose to not deliver if the holder wanted to exercise it.

Read properly the word called not binding

https://www.wallstreetmojo.com/options-vs-warrants

based on above, and my fut/options trading experience, Warrants are issued by the parent company (so there's a fixed amount), while options are created by the Put/Call seller (number of options created can be viewed in the "open interest" column)



i think can ignore xander83 unless he can explain what he meant by binding

BINDING = Obligation

You are wrong again as warrant is not issued by parent company unlike shares whereby only can be issue do by licensed issuers and in Malaysia there’s only 6 warrant issuers

can you elaborate more?
