Usually in local KLSE market, only call warrants are tradeable.
Options only available in foreign market like NYSE.

I got one problem.. I bought a stock price at 0.010 using HLEbroking, when it reach 0.015, I wanted to sell it, but when I key in sell, it said I have 0 share available to sell.. What does this mean? Hmmm...

Called them..

Here's the problem.. I bought the share b4 it rise, it is confirmed at 0.010, but when I called them, they said yes it's confirmed, but still que-ing.. Isn't it real-time?
What happen if it drop? So everyday I have to que 3-4 hours b4 it rise/drop? Hmm.. Getting drowsy lol..

so u mean both are the same except that options only available in US???

Do you really understand how the market works? How the buy/sell queue works?

I hope you do but I have a feeling you think that when the last price done is 0.010, you queue for that and immediately you get to buy. This is totally wrong.

I actually understand it now.. Silly me.. :-(

Call warrants is subset of options. Indirectly, both almost the same.
Anyway, i haven't trade options before so i'm not quite sure of it.

If it matched, then confirmed you've own those shares based on quantity matched.

I think it is quite difficult for them to answer the question repeatly. This thread only have 6 page. It only takes us less than 45 minutes to go thru it.

Edit:

I kind of understand your frustration. I like to help as much as the next person, but after a while I realise better not to get frustrated over these things. I just don't answer most of the time unless genuinely answer seeking people actually made the effort to look for the answer before asking.

A lot of people expect to be fed information without seeking it themselves. At the end of the day, it's their money they are gambling with.

I have a question which is is there any securities institution provide short selling of bond and stock in Malaysia???

i know the risk of short selling and i would like to invest do short selling but can't find out how to do short selling...

And in case of sharp interest increase (3-4%) in Malaysia, what kind of investment should i do to make profit during the high interest rate??
i only can think of short-selling stock and bond during the high interest rate...

Sharing of any idea will be appreciated.. Thx

Finally finish reading all post, thk all sifuzz here~

Really helpful!!

I will start reading investpedia later..

Bonds I think (not 100% sure) one can't short it in Malaysia. But for stocks, there is a regulated short-selling mechanism in place already on certain designated stocks approved by SC that can be short-sell.
To short stocks, one needs to borrow the shares first from investment banks, then place in short-sell list (I forgot what they call it, somehow just a list of numbers of shares being placed for short sell), then one can start short sell it. It is a tedious and troublesome procedure, even fund managers reluctant to do it.
Not to mention, individual, whereby investment banks won't be interested to lend you a few ten of thousand shares only, right?

on the other day i went to hwang dbs inv bank to open up cds and trading account but unfortunately they ask me to find a guarentor. I've no income bcoz im student so they require a guarentor, if can i dont want to involve anyone with this so is there any brokers firm which dont require a student like me to get a guarentor before opening trading account??

Last time when i registered with RHBInvest or OSK, i didn't need to get guarantor when to open trading account with them.
I'm not sure whether is there need guarantor for student / or no salary income slip. I think shouldn't be lor since minimum age to trade share market is 18 years old.
Maybe you can try your luck in OSK or RHBInvest.
Good luck to you and learn basic trading skills first before jumping into sea

thanks for the advice, i've already miss the boat for the AA shares bcoz of this.. why need a guarentor ?can anybody explain??

I think guarantor is help u settle your payment if you cannot affort to pay after T+3 . Anyway , u can try other broker house which do not require guarantor such as OSK or any like other people mention. I'm using OSK but I heard Heong Leong not bad too (minimum RM12 brokerage fee which is the cheapest).
