I called to hlb. But they said online trading for US market still not available. I check CIMB and notice that their itrade can buy US stock. Any one care to comment on their rate and service.

it definately sound fantastic, with premier account, your account value shall not fall below 200k, or else what is the charges are like?
it like etrade,
the only advantage is u can withdrawal your fund anytime.

any one bought eep? enbridge; dividend near 20%, i bought 100share only when the price is 30usd.
hai very sad  mad.gif
i think if i buy now dividend will also be around 10% only.

guy this company really can give compound interest man, better than buying asb,asn, wawasan ,asm..
what for with those que? i dont understand. drool.gif

investing sleep well.
citibank had miss their dividend for last 2 quarter.
i think i buy BAC instead.
aig, cheap la but no dividend.

Added on June 8, 2009, 11:55 pmgeneral electric good buy man,,,, any buyer?
dividend near 9% at present value,
but i think i cant find this type of dividend and with such a margin of safety in asian company.........

Bought BAC when it falls to USD4.3, then sold some and swap to Citi. stupid Citi shares stop there for months.
regret sold my BAC, which is currently ard 13. Analyst said BAC can easily triple within the next 2 years.

just like what u said, i m new investor who only owns 1 o 2 counters.
i also believe bac has the prospect to increase in long run. but with my limited fund / capital, i will need to think twice...

BAC is expensive? Who said that?

Anyway.. it is still cheap now. One share only $13 bucks!
Used to be $45-$55 before the bust.

It probably won't back go to that range for a long time.. but mostly likely
will go back to half that range (mid $20) in about 1-2 years.

Time to buy some.. if you like BAC.

The better one is of course Wells Fargo, JP Morgan or Goldman Sach..

I do wish they would stock split Goldman (make it cheaper per share).  tongue.gif

i said that..

now only i know, lot of rich ppl here if not millionaires.
i only have limited capital, with so many good and cheap shares now.
so how should i choose among the basket?

Oh... sorry.. I didn't notice previous post.

Anyway..  are you saying you can't afford US$13 for one share of BAC?   hmm.gif
*
one share = 1000 units?
if yes, then i really cant afford...

if all of u know i cant even afford to have one bac trading at usd 13, do u all think that i can afford to hv vti?

assignment for the day, how and what to buy now????

syong,

In USA, there is NO CONCEPT as a "lot".  You can buy as little as ONE share of any stock.

So, one share of BAC = one unit = $13.

But, depending on the commission, you do not want to only one share.  If the commission is $5, buying one share of BAC at $13 cost you $18.

i thought min purchase for US shares is 100 units?

yes, u r right. wont buy for 1 unit, even if i bought 100 units, the commission for buying and selling os quite substantial.

syong,

Have you have been monitoring BAC these few days since the market has pulled back with DJ almost dropping below the 8200 support level?

It seems BAC support has been great and lowest is at $12.

Therefore, better BUY some now before it rockets to $20 or higher.

Stay away from Citi for now.. BAC is a great buy now.

yes, wanted to buy, but kia si.
worry it will drop further.

how about mgm? company making loss n now at 6++
just wonder what make genting go in at 7.

Sorry, I don't know anything about MGM.

I think like Dreamer suggested, if you like banks.. better go with index fund that tracks financial sector than buying one BANK because if you have limited fund, it is very risky.

Go study this index: XLF
*
He did mention. Think this XLF is cheaper than the one he recommend.
Is if the same as how i buy other shares. Min 1 shares? (dont worry, i wont go in for 1 share)
