Yes, it's possible. You can split it into 2 stocks. I suggest you buy small cap or mid cap stock which is growing and with strong fundamentals. Make sure you buy below the intrinsic value though.

Why only invest for 1 to 2 years? Invest for 10 or 20 years la..that way u can profit more..Learn from Warren Buffet bro..

Option 1: only if the company's EPS has been growing year after year
Option 2: only if the share price is overvalued, but you've to check the company's historical PE also..otherwise you might sell too soon..

I would advice that you invest a minimum of RM 1000 on any company shares. There will be a minumum charges of RM12 for brokerage fee and RM 1 of stamp fee for investment of RM1k and below. So if u buy 200 lots of RM.0794 per share, the brokerage and stamp fee would have amounted to about 8% of your investment already :-P

Yes, it is possible to profit from share investment by just buying and holding the share for say 5 years, but must choose wisely on the company though ;-)

If the share price dropped, you're only making a 'paper loss' as long as you didn't sell it. But if you sold it at the dropped price, then you're making a 'real loss'. You don't hav to pay any losses to the bank if you're not using margin financing :-)

If you're a minority shareholder, you don't hav enough voting power. If you're a shareholder of a lousy company, you stand to lose your investment in the company.

I have a different opinion. Even with RM2,000 you can earn a handsome profit between 20%-50%, if you choose the right stock to invest.

You can go to Bursa Malaysia website http://www.klse.com.my

Look under Listed Company Announcements and then Annual Reports.

I'm more of a fundamental investor.

I look at ROE, EPS Growth Rate, D/E, DY and P/E. Also I calculate the company's Intrinsic or Fair Value.

???? We do buy in lots, not units..

I do have shares in PBBANK and QL. But not IOI..hehe

You don't need a pay slip to open a cds account if you're a student. Just that you can't use their share margin facility.

Added on November 7, 2009, 7:23 pmIf you're using your own cash to buy stock, the T+3 doesn't apply to you. If the share price drop, you're only making a 'paper lost' as long as you don't sell your shares, but if you sell it only then it's considered a 'real lost'.

Yes.

I've never day trade before, so I can't answer your question regarding that. Perhaps some day trader here can help you.

In regards to your losses, you don't have to pay anything extra because you only loose your own money. T+3 doesn't apply to you if you trade with your own money.

Jupiter is getting more and more popular. You can read user comments at this post: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...1789&hl=jupiter

Andrew Chia teaches you how to do that in his Bursa Winners e-book http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1124457

Of course buying at a lower PE is better than buying at a higher PE. But PE is not the only figure that you look at in making your investment decision. A poor company can have very low PE, so low PE doesn't mean that it is a good buy. You have to look at other figures as well.

You can look at the "Net Cash From/(Used in) Operating Activities". To calculate the annual growth rate, I personally prefer taking 5-years or 10-years average annual compounded growth rate instead of average annual growth rate. You can do this by taking the recent Operating Cash Flow (A) and divide it by past 5th or 10th year Operating Cash Flow (B). Then using a scientific calculator, apply a square root (v) to the formula: 5vA/B for 5 years or 10vA/B for 10 years. If you get a figure, say 1.20, it means 20% average annual compounded growth rate.

With average annual compounded growth rate, you can ignore the negative Operating Cash Flow in certain years You must be cautious investing in companies with negative Operating Cash Flow in that particular year though.

The dividend will automatically goes to your trading account.

Ann Date: Announcement Date.
Ex Date: Exercise Date
Payment date: The day they start paying, but for nominees account I think it will take some time because it goes through CIMB brokers for processing first.
