IPO just mean distributed existing company share to public only.
Let say the company origin has 1 mil shares on the owner. Now do IPO for listing, the owner can distribute 500K to public, and keep remaining 500k. As long as the listing requirement is met, public spread more than 25%, then it is fulfilling the listing requirement.

Hope someone can help me understand this:

SP SETIA
(I) PROPOSED PLACEMENT OF NEW ORDINARY SHARES OF RM0.75 EACH IN S P SETIA ("S P SETIA SHARES"), REPRESENTING UP TO 15% OF THE ISSUED AND PAID-UP SHARE CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY ("PROPOSED PLACEMENT")

This placement of new shares, who is going to pay for it? Is it existing shareholders? Why the price is so cheap compare to the current mother share price?
Newbie here...

Private placement mean specific identified investors by the company.

It is not issued at RM0.75.
Rm0.75 is the par value of the stock only.
Private placement price will be determined later based on market average price, which company can decide later.

They still useful for u to dig offmarket information faster such as who got private placement, who buying, who selling, odd lots transaction, what is the latest rumours, who goreng that stocks, who stocking up those counters & waiting to dump at what price (most likely).......who landing at 52 week low, who reach 52 new high...bla bla bla bla
In short, they still useful..

Violin, as a student myself and possibly younger than you by a year, I can share my experiences with you. I started trading in KLSE 8 years ago, when many people were still brushing up for PMR. It was a great experience back then watching the stocks and reading updates in the business world. I didn't have any basic knowledge of the stock market then, I just traded by following speculations (or pure luck). It was good as I managed to accumulate a profit of 30% by the first year, and my parents were proud.  That was just before the 2001 9/11 attacks, when I suddenly lost all my hard earned cash + profits prior to that because of lack of knowledge. I never looked back then, but continued to earn money to start my investment again. My money was stuck there for a good few years, without earning me anything, because the stocks that I invested in were not so performing. So I just managed to breakeven. Not long ago, I beefed up my stock trading knowledge by reading a lot when I had a break during lessons.  Now lucky to say, I have the chance of having a bit of knowledge in stock analysis, reading annual reports and invest in the right stocks. I have accumulated enough capital to divide my investment between stocks and unit trust. In good times, I am earning an average of 10% in less than 2 months from stock market, and another 10% in around 1 month from unit trust.  I must say, for your RM2000, it is very difficult to spot undervalued stocks which you can cash into, without doing the due diligence and time for research. I sacrifice my study time to do my research and self-study on the stock market. Are you able to do that?  Regards

Since this thread has been pinned, isn't that TS can compile all the question here and make it FAQ .. 

My suggestion,
Go to buy big sweep or Toto, Rm 1 or 2 can win ten of millions, fullfill your requirement of maximisation of return rate while can lose every single cent (not kena, then loss all).

Your requirement being matched!   

7K is not money meh? why want to lose every single cent of it?

It is those tiny bit and then accumulated that make one rich, no one is rich or wealthy overnight.

erm, where to buy futures?

i am a student, not working.

yes. i cant make sure i will win everytime. thats y research is required to fully take acount of all the variables. like will i gain if i reinvest the gains, how much will i gain, will that gain be higher than the long term gains. etc..

so long and short term has its pros and cons

Added to attachment to this post. just some small fry thing i made up and use for myself lolol. where's chyaw's? i wanna have a look

Still a student:
Good that you've started thinking and worrying about your future.

Some facts. If to work for someone in future and 'makan gaji', sure EPF is not enough to sustain for old age. I hope I had earlier plan for myself.
I'm just starting to learn on investment recently, after near 10 yrs working.

Share market is not for everyone. One need to have the preparation to have possibility to lose all $$ at a start. If u r the type than can have sleepless night after losing 50% of money and resultant in lose in concentration is studies, etc. It's not worth to pursue this path for now. Wait till you have the mentality to be ok to lose some $, then it's ok to start.

If u r still a student in 2' school, and would like to venture into stock market in the future, then plan to study in financial related field (can be just elective course).

For now, invest your RM2,000-00 in ASM or Sukuk. And if you are a Bumi, invest in ASB. These have much higher return than FD.

Learn about fundamentals in share (ie what is PE, DY, ROR, ROE, etc first) and carry out 'offline' investment without using money.
You can easily do this on excel by assuming you have invested in a stock at certain price and sell it etc (and monitory the your performance).
See how far you can go. Do add RM30 to 40 on cost for every RM1700 you invest and likewise when you sell. ie every for every share you buy, you have to consider a minimum of ~ RM60 or RM90 (depending on the investment mode and company you used) cost for stamp duty and fees to be paid. In other words, if you buy 10 lots of share for RM1,700 and selling for RM1,800, your net profit is only RM10 to RM25.

Only when you are able to always make profit with you 'offline' trading do you start the real 'gambling' in the stock market.
If you lose in the offline/self trading, well - luckily you've not started with the real money.
If you've earned - well, just think that in real scenario, you are not always able to successful in buying the share (as ppl are not selling) or selling it when the price is right.

Hope this help.
