Hi, I'm new in share trading...
recently i just bought some share at total of RM3k++ and within 3 months I just sold them, and get profit of RM90++... From my e-portfolio, i gain the overall profit of 4.87% in time of 3 months. (less)
My question is:
1. The performance is better than saving money in FD, but does my performance considered good enough in equity stock exchange?
2. Since I heard that equity trading is the 2nd high risk investment, what is the normal time range and overall profit made is considered good for equity trading?
since I've put this RM3k as a start for me to learn to invest, I do wish to put them in some higher risk to explore the high risk market.
oh... trading games unable to give me a drive to learn... >_<
i don't know where you found out that equity is high-risk. it can be very low risk if you want it that way.
#1: 5% over 3 months is good, but usually ppl talk about annual returns. FD is 2.8-3% a year, high-yield dividend stocks around 5-6%, REITs around 7-8.5%, if you can do 10-15% a year (and outperform the KLCI index), imo that's considered quite an achievement already.
#2: time range? from my understanding and experience so far, there's daytrading, contra trading, short term speculative/fundamental, mid/long term fundamental, growth / dividend play, cum-dividend play, bonus issue/share split play and maybe others. everything can be fully customised to your risk appetite. Profit also up to you.
in a nutshell.. there's no standard definition of good performance in a nice timeframe. it's very subjective.

hi got 1 question
1) Does share consolidation always means bad new for shareholder? consolidation of 4 to 1 consider bad?
Hi Need help on another thing, i found this buy back stuff
The share is buy back at price from 1.21 to 1.26 on Jun 28th , but that day market price high low is 1.03 and 1.09? Why not buying at 1.03 to 1.09 instead?
consolidation of 4 to 1. you're talking about KNM?

the perception is that reducing liquidity (by consolidating shares, and increasing the par value) is a result of reduced interest from shareholders. hence it usually isn't a popular move. there's no effect of share consolidation on the company accounts. just shareholder perception.
BJCorp on 28th June was trading between 1.21 to 1.28. I don't know where you got 1.03 to 1.09 from.
