No. That's capital gain.
Some of the dividend yes. That's revenue gain.

I am no sifu, but only judge stocks base on the 3 ratios is dangerous, you should looking into the prospect of the company, long term stability (viable or not), share price pattern, board of directors etc.
EPS = earning per share, higher better, that's how much the company earn per share. But not all the earning will convert to cash to shareholders. EPS = Profit/No. of share
PE = years take for the company to recover its market value aka Market Share Price/ EPS. The lower the better. Subject to manipulation, same case like EPS because that's derive from EPS basically.
DY = Dividend yield. Similar to interest rate, that's cash flow shareholder can receive from their share of company profit. Prefer to be read together with company cash flow, cash position, profit, prospect for clearer picture. DY = Dividend per share/ Market price per share.
Just my 2 cents.

I think that will be good if you name your target for sifus to comment Ride on their experiences while learning in the process

Buy low sell high earn the difference. But there must be someone who do the opposite way also That's cruel but that's how the market works.

There are chartist who study and come out with all type of theories but I know none of it. Fundamentalist will go dig inside their account to determine what's their real value, that will require a lot of works with all kind of assumptions (they have their own model also, DCF, DVM, NRV etc....).

Most of the investors goes by gut feeling + observation of trend over years + rumors + news published. To start always good to start reading finance section in news paper, or get some reference books from library (I never go there, don't know have or not ).

Actually people with all the knowledge from the book might loss all when they come to reality world.
Prudent investor try locate underestimate company and grow with them.
Aggressive investor try to trade and earn the difference.
Moderate one do both.
I just a bit curious about you now, because you just look like myself during my u days.
Mind me to offer you some advice, though that might not be useful at all
Keep the money and do some paper trading instead, you might not earn anything but experience, but the bottom line is: you won't loss anything except your own time.
Trading is similar to gambling sometime, and that's highly addictive, too.
Always trade with cool head, if what you want is to get very rich very fast, I can tell you only a few on the earth can do it (perhaps you are one of them, I reserve my opinion on that).
Good luck on your trade and may god bless you.

I read some of his book but can't recall the name anymore, loan from library one...
Maybe you want to read the rich dad poor dad series, also quite good, but please don't believe in him unreservedly, he can be wrong too

Normally annual term. Rolling 4Q not so consistent. My 2 cents only.

That's dividend company pay in the middle of their financial year (1Q, 2Q or 3Q, can be anytime during the year also). No approval from shareholder required. Tax exempted mean they exercised some of their balance on Section 44, dividend will not be tax on the hand of receiver. 6 sen per share mean 1000 share get RM60.

I think that's equal to paid up share capital.

I think you will further confusing him We have to start bottom up

Number of share which was less than minimal trading lot.
Eg you have 102 shares, 2 share are odd lot.

It depends on whether you might need the money in near future. If you won't need the money in long period of time e.g. 5~10 years, then no harm buying some yield stocks.

That's true if you trade in 1,000 share. Malaysian market trading lot is 100 share. Means you can buy 100 shares of company x at RM10 or 1,000 shares of company y at RM1 (commission, stamp duty and clearing fee excluded).

1. No need.
2. Yes, if you entitled.
3. Dunno

Yes, normally.

Is like that one, maybank charge long long ago liao, cimb going to charge for atm card also

Eg. Dividend = RM10
Handling fee = (RM2)
Misc. fee = (RM3)
Net amount to you = RM5
For nominee account only.

That's current market price/ past year earning, used to judge how long it needs to return the money you have invested. But not very accurate as the figure can be manipulate easily, normal investor only look at PE & jump; advance one look at other information e.g. cash flow statement, balance sheet, notes etc and jump; expert look at even more. But chartist might look at chart instead. Just my 2 cents.

You still can claim, the money will remain there until you ask for refund or use to offset you tax payable in future.
