Yes, with the same IB, browse back this tread, if not mistaken someone explain on the difference between direct and nominee account for CDS too. Keep going...

is the klse a dealers market or a auction market.... when i sell my stock and it is matched does it mean that at that exact time some body else is also purchasing that stock ...

Yes, some one need to be buying in order for your stock to be sold. Which is what we ment when we say Supply (sellers) and demand (buyers).

Normally most counters will have some people queuing to buy the stock at different prices. And also people queuing to sell at different prices. All matching buy/sell orders will be executed.

SO if you intent to buy something for a specified price, someone needs to be queuing to sell to you, if not, your buy order will be queued in to the system.

Dealers are just middle man that executes your orders.

Can i be a seller & buyer at the same time,same stock ,example A stock sale RM0.10(100 lot,sale high),at the same time buy low RM0.095 (100lot) and left the bursa system match randomly,earn the difference of the value?

Yes you can, but be aware that if you do not have any holdings and your sell order is matched, you are liable for short selling which might incur you losses and fines.

So if you do have some of the stocks in hand, you can set up a low buy order to collect more and at the same time put up a sell order for higher. You are not allowed to sell anything you do not own.

Also since it is a queue system, your orders might not be fully matched. For instance you queue 100 lots for sale, but only 1 lot is matched. Your cost of selling might exceed your actual profit.

when is the date of MAS new shares listed??

can, but you are risking yourself become short sell in this situation. It is quite a big offence to short sell a stock.

I don't think anyone would risk oneself to earn such a peanut profit.

What if all people sell to you at 0.095 and then price sink to 0.08?

deleted....wrong answer.

Want to know,

I want to start my investment with literally little money (around RM1800) and am thinking of going for 2-3 of the div counters, compounding them every month (around RM750 per month top up) and hold on to them for a long time and using the div received to grow my capital.

Is this a sound plan to be use in malaysian market or is it better to have another option open (put some into div counters and trade some actively or focus into one div counter and top up)?

Hi Sifu,

How i know which items should related to Capital expenditure ?

Thank you !

Fyi, in reality, very little or only small percentage of investors trade actively and make money out of it by actively trade.

There is no single investment strategy work all the time. It depends on individual situation as well as market/economy situation.

Having said that, able to pin-point a good and fundamental sound company is the first priority for long term investment.

(% Net Profit + % Dividends) / Price to Book = Result VS stock price that u r targeting.

Formula of value stock pick used by Warren Buffet but this is basic only.

Most of the time, they used more advanced formula including maths formula.

For my case, most of the time i close my eyes & buy or sell..

its there a application for trading on i phone or black berry....

Recently I was introduced to the concept of Security Market Line which is graph where x-axis represent the expected return and the y-axis is the risk of investment in the form of Beta.

Basing on this, where can I get to see this in real life application? Links?

Also, where can i find out the annualized mean rtn of KLCI index?

Thanks,

I'm now having problem identifying "Shareholder's Equity". Seriously if someone can give a screenshot, I would really appreciate it.

A major noob here. Just learning to calc ROE. *sob* One at a time.

If you still need to know;

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/shareholdersequity.asp


It can be found at the end of a balance sheet normally.

Yes I got it. I was practicing on calculating ROE and the result were different than the one I'm referring to. Thought my calculation was wrong which in fact, we're just using different source.

Now I'm using NextView's. Anybody using it? Reliable?

Thanks in advance!
