I open normal trading a/c. I'm a shareholder
Thanks for the info.

What usually goes on during an AGM?

Just pass the resolutions in the notice of AGM and answer some questions minority shareholders? If so, then I may not want to attend.

I'm more interested to know the future plans of the companies. Will the Directors talk about this in the AGM? Will this info be already printed in the Annual Report? If yes, then I can just wait for the report to be delivered to me.

Yup, of cos want to makan and take free gifts. But besides that, I also want to "check out" the Directors of the company. See how they talk. See how they answer questions posed to them. See how they lay out the company's plans for the next 5 years (if any). See if the growth plan is attractive or not.

These Directors are like.... my partners or guardians of my company. And I want to know what they know of the company, so I can decide whether to invest more, hold or sell my shares.

What is intraday trading? How to enjoy these lower brokerage fees with intraday trading?

Are you buying as an investor or as a trader/speculator?
If you're buying as a trader/speculator, then trade on paper first. Take into account the commission when calculating your profit or loss. When you're comfortable with your paper profit, then you can decide to trade with real money.

Yes.
There's also a difference between "dividend less 25% tax" and "tax exempt dividiend".

What qualifies as a public spread?
Are the shares held by EPF considered part of the public spread?

Then what about stock held by mutual funds. Is this considered part of public spread?

Thank you.

Does anybody know whether the KLCI is inclusive or exclusive of dividend?
If exclusive of dividend, then where do you get the information on the dividend? So then you can add back the dividend to the index. Then can get a more accurate picture when calculating the total return of the KLCI index (capital gain + dividend income).

That's what I thought.
So when we compare our performance with KLCI, we are comparing our performance (capital gain + dividend received) versus KLCI performance (capital gain only). So this is not comparing like with like. How do we add back the points to KLCI to reflect capital gain + dividend received?

Hope some expert can answer this.

If KLCI is inclusive of dividend, then if tomorrow ALL the 30 component stock price drop to RM0.00, then the KLCI will NOT drop to zero, correct?

If index include dividend, then these dividend would accumulate many years and make up the bulk of the index. For example, if KLCI index is 2,000 points, then probably 1,400 points is dividend, and the rest 600 points is capital gain. Then why we have situation whereby the index can drop below 1,400 points?
This is just example, because all over the world, we see long established indices dropping like 50%.

Does anybody know where I can find information about the public spread % for the stock or company?
