I'm OK with that too. It is BUY!

You can try www.AmSecurities.com.my - it's the investment arm of AmBank, called AmInvestment. Open a stock trading account with them and opt to trade US stocks as well. Then, you'll be on your way!!!

Take a look at this chart and tell me how many companies in Malaysia has this kind of sustained growth rate over many years?? How about Microsoft??

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=MSFT&t=my&l=off&z=m&q=l&c=

There are many companies like this through out history of USA. Because of the larger market, they could have explosive growth over very long period of time.

How about this?? It is a clothes retailer??

Let me put out a disclaimer here. I only put a very small amount of my play money on individual USA stock. It is more for entertainment value than anything else. For my play money, I GAMBLE on stock that has the potential to provide 10X to 20X return. And, I do not mind lose all of my play money in the process too. It is for FUN!!

In summary, if you GAMBLE in stock market, you can lose all your money. But, in USA stock market, there is GREATER POTENTIAL for 10X to 20X return because it is a LARGER ECONOMY. A company with the RIGHT STUFF can have EXPLOSIVE GROWTH for a long time.

I suggest you to look into this chart.

http://www.google.com/finance?q=aig

thank u guys...now i know the reasons...em...so far,how is everyone portfolio performance?if don mind to share it here:)

Haha..thats why we all here invest in US stocks market rather in KLSE.
NYSE exchange is the most largest stock exchange in the world.
So imagine that all the big funds invest there, ...
sure got big volume with high volatility that will boost shares more than 30% in single day(for selected high growth stock such as AIG, BAC, etc..)

Miklosop up for few days already *MSFT

Deal with Yahoo still lingering.

YHOO also up but not bad also

C is down slightly, the financial sell off yesterday still a lingering problem.
If this one pullbacks to low $4 or below, BUY it!

Just get my account at sogotrade approved. I will get it funded today & start trading soon. C in my list too together with GE. Anyone have other recommendation which stock to choose.

FLASH NEWS

Rumors are circulating that a merger of Nokia Siemens Networks and Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE:ALU) would make a lot of sense.

British online gaming group PartyGaming plc (NASDAQ:PRTY) said on Tuesday it agreed to buy WPT Enterprises Inc. (NYSE:WPTE), known as World Poker Tour, for $12.3 million in cash.

What is the target price for ALU? Now already at $3.5, the lowest is ~$1 in March.

anyone knows if any of the online brokerage allow ACH service for non-US residents? (Beside optionXpress)

Most online brokerage allows ACH to Bank account. It doesn't matter whether you're resident or non-resident.
Examples: TD AmeriTrade, E-Trade, ScottTrade, etc.

It about whether you have a Bank account or not that allows you to do ACH.

But then most of them need you to show them the bank statement. I once been rejected because the address on my Bank account (US address) is different from my current address.

May I know what is ACH? I ve an acc under optionXpress. But haven't trade yet.

It depends on your broker. I had no issue with E-Trade and TD Ameritrade.

Added on August 26, 2009, 9:14 pmAutomatic Clearing House (Bank to Bank/ClearningHouse transfer), same thing as GIRO transfer in Malaysia.

People use this for faster transfer and cheaper (mostly free) than writing paper cheque or bank drafts.

Added on August 26, 2009, 9:38 pmC is dropping 2.75% as of now. GE is dropping too. To bad my fund still not credited into my trading acc. Hope it continue to drop. haha

Nice.. good to add some more C if it drops further for long.


Anyway, here's another speculative play: LVS (Las Vegas Sands).

Yes, it is gambling stocks and it has been hammered badly during recession, but with 800% bounced from the bottom low in March, I think this one has bottomed and still got some potential upside.

While the US market in Las Vegas still weak, they're expanding in Macao and Singapore. Sooner or later, Genting business will go down and Singaporean will have their own gambling heaven.

I'm buying LVS on pullback for long.

VONAGE HOLDINGS CORP
(NYSE: VG) , for 2nd day running..

jump from 50cent to $2.5 in 2-3 days.

what business does this company do?

Anyone looking at conoco phillips? still not bounce that much yet since march compare with other O&G company

Added on August 26, 2009, 10:56 pmYes, sure will buy this one when my fund credited.
