If not mistaken. But you need to have money in the acc. I havent start trading. Still reading through this forum. Wanna register?

Need to register/open 3 types of account.

1) CDS account with BURSA MALAYSIA (You get CDS account no.)
2) Trading account with investment bank. (You get client code.)
3) Internet trading account from your investment bank. (You get username and password.)

With Tan Sri Khalid's sacking from PKR, in your esteemed opinions, will any Bursa counters be affected - either beneficially or adversely?

Thank you

Puncak n Kps

Will they go up or down, bro?

And would Syabas be affected in any way?


Thank you very much.

Monitor d price movement on yo own

hi guys,

Let's look at the below case for dividend:

Announcement date: 5 August 2014
Ex Date: 18 August 2014

If i buy the share on today on 14 August 2014, will be entitled for the dividend? does the T+3 applies here?

yes it applies
even if u buy on the 18th, you are entitled to it

really? i am not sure cause there is a forumer that said if we buy on EX date we are not entitled

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/ex-date.asp

After the ex-date, a stock is said to trade ex-dividend.

Announcement date: 5 August 2014
Ex Date: 18 August 2014

If we buy on 18 August 2014, we are not entitled for dividend according to the Q&A at the first page. Only entitled for the dividend if we buy before 18 August 2014, which means if we buy on 17 August 2014 still can get dividend. Buy on and after 18 August 2014, not entitled.

all this while i thought can

hi guys.which laptop and spec would be reliable for trading? tq

Even your smartphone can do it. No need any special spec.

Bros, wanna confirm this.

Example:

1) If i wanna buy 10 lots of share at RM1.00/unit, but no one is selling at my price, so I wont get to buy that share. Eg: I wanna buy RM1.00, people wanna sell at RM1.05. Correct?

2) Lets say I manage to buy 10 lots, I wanna sell when it goes up to RM2 (original RM1), and only one person wanna buy 1lot at that price, so there will be 9 lots that isnt sold. Correct?

3) If that 9 lots isnt sold, then I wont be able to collect my profit. Correct?

1) yes
2)yes
3)no u will get the profit of the one lot sold (if you have yet to pay for them ie within contra period and if you have already picked up the shares then u will get the sales proceeds of the 1 lot sold

Tq for the info. If profit from 1 lot, still wont cover my cost for the other 9 lots. but how do people make profit by selling all their shares? Will there always be buyer to buy the shares at any price?

you can sell at market price

I am a college student. My main aim is to open trading and CDS account so that I can buy shares. The first investment company I think of is Maybank Investment Sdn Bhd because it is popular. Or can u guys introduce any investment company that is good for trading shares? I have few questions to ask in here.

1) In order to open Maybank trading account and CDS account. Do I need a saving account in Maybank first? If yeah, does that mean when I buy shares online the money is deducted from my saving account from Maybank?

2) I have seen Maybank website online and there are 3 packages of Maybank saving account. Maybank2u Savers (2.25% interest, minimum RM250 deposit) , Kawanku Saving Account (0.35-1.65% interest), and Basic Savings Account (0.35-1.65% interest and require minimum Rm20 deposit).

But when I went to Maybank counter to inquire about it, they say there is only one type of saving account and it offers 0.03% of interest p.a only and if no transaction within 3 months they will block your account and have to pay RM8 annually. But from Maybank website I didn't see such package. May i know is it whether the Maybank website didn't update or the staffs there didn't know there are other type of saving account available?

3) Is it possible to buy/sell shares online all by myself without calling broker to do things for me?

4) May I know why with a nominee CDS account we can't buy IPO shares? Is it because IPO shares are riskier?

5) I have read book that says buying share is better because it offers 8%, or 10% interest rate etc.. compared to Fixed deposit which is lower. The question is do we know how much interest rate the company's share offers before buying?

6) I have already read some local books about basic stock trading. Should I read those technical analysis, moving average, fundamental analysis books first before entering into stock trading or get practical first?

1,2) I am not sure as I am not using Maybank currently. But it's better as you might need money to be transfer from your savings account to your trust account.
When you buy shares, money will be deducted from you trust account.

3) Practically yes, just need to meet your broker open an account, hen selling or buying can be done online.

4) Erm.. people are given normally direct account..
but i am not sure why nominee?? Sorry..

5) Well, you need to find companies that have a capital appreciation + divined which can give you that rates.
How we know? erm, do research?

6) if you think you can do it, just go for it!

I am quite new too, just trying to help
