according to my platform, it's quite a weird case
when they sold 3+ mil, (and ceased to be substatial shareholder), they didn't report how much shares were left after (maybe because after the sale they weren't substantial shareholders and not required to report shareholding). so that might explain your zeros.

but when they bought the 600k, they reported their shareholding interests post-buying, around 5.01%, then when they sold the 800k they ceased to be substantial shareholder again.. so again not reporting their shareholdings.

so its a case of going in and out of being a substantial (above 5%) shareholder.

( c) no capital-gains tax here.

in our trading platforms 1 lot = 100 units , so yeah 100 lots = 10000 units.

but, in conversation, most (older) ppl still refer to 1 lot as 1000 units, because the change was recent .. i think it was in 07.

(older) people are more seasoned.
nothing beats that.

FA is easy to pick up.
read the balance sheet, cash flow statements, and P&L statements. as long as you understand every single term in there, incl. topline/btmline growth, margins, operating ratios, cash flow, gearing, financial ratios you'll be good.

i learnt TA by myself first by downloading chartnexus (n occasionally attending talks by benny @ nextview) , then googling/investopediaing every single indicator, learning how its used and backtesting it to see its suitability in msia. my personal preference is trends and momentum.

From how frequently I use them (most -> least). SMAs, Fibo Retracements, Bollinger Bands, MACD, Stochastic, ATR, Parabolic SAR, ADX, OBV and CCI, if u ask other ppl they might say candlesticks are important also, but my experience was they give a lot of false signals. how you use TA (to speculate/predict, or complement FA, or timing, etc) is very important also.

anyway, just sharing my experience.. peace be with you.

yes for all the above.

as far as i recall u need to initiate a inter-CDS share transfer. like the question above, contact A to ask to transfer your shares out to B. B will most likely credit u back the rm10 fee that you paid.

oh, for hong leong, they say they were more than willing to credit back the RM10 fee into my account. maybe different banks different policies.

they're converting their non-distributable reserves such as share premium account and share capital account into distributable reserves to shore up their retained earnings, and improve shareholder capital repayability through dividends.

it's a good corporate move, but it suggests that their accounts are in a bad shape.

Hi guys, want to ask about reclaiming income tax paid on dividends. it's possible to declare and reclaim them right?

warmest regards, thanks very much.!

if u offer to sell your share at 1.50 even when the best buy price is 2.00, yes, the system will accept it.

hmm,
perhaps we should sticky a basic FAQ about WA, CA, LA, JA. or is there already a sticky..

yes all are underlying warrants but different traits/properties. WA is company warrant, CA is call warrant issued by IBs. different expiry dates, different risk/volatility appetites.

WA needs to be converted at expiry if not = burn
CW is cash-settled at expiry

CW trades more aggressively than WA. Moreover if the market is bad, CWs will be the first to burn.

hm, no.
their are some basics in the forum here. but it's scattered elsewhere, not sure whether the search function will bring it up or not.

anyway, i don't believe in reading books. never read a single book teaching me about investment. always a believer of if 'they're so good, why're they writing a book?'

Added on April 15, 2011, 6:44 amhum.. as far as i understand i think the system will accept it, price it with the best buy, and price transacted will be at best buy. - so rm2.

could be from excelforce's platform. hlebroking uses this one also, if i recall jupiter also.

because of the ways commissions are designed, it's advised you prepare at the very least 3k per stock (this one is what i think). too little and you'll be limited to low-value stocks because of the leverage effect (it's easier to move up 1 sen in a 10 sen stock vs a 20 sen move in a 10 ringgit stock), plus the commission will eat quite a bit into your profits. (what is 16 ringgit buy & sell commission in RM 50 profit vs 16 ringgit in 2k profit.)

age .. is a problem. you'll need to be 18 above before you can create your own CDS and brokerage account.
