Book Value per share = Net Tangible Asset / Total Shares Outstanding
Price / Book Value = Price per share / Book Value per share

The smaller number of P/BV is usually means the stock is relatively cheaper but not necessary better.

I think you have accidentally sold your shares at a cheap price... , if you have key in 'sell' at 1.50. Check your settlement records.

Go buy the book 'Stock Performance Guide' by Dynaquest RM 70 or join online resources like Capital IQ.

Call them or the number usually printed in your monthly statements. If your CDS is a nominee account, then tough luck, you cannot apply for IPO.

Write your Name, CDS number and your investment account number with OSK. The phone number is yours. If the check is used to settle any contract, write the contract number. You can clarify with your remiser.

Read the classic - The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. After completing that, then you are prepared. If it is too dry for you, then fundamental investing is not for you.

PE can go from low to high and back down again, it all depends on investor sentiments during the period. You have to compare the PE ratio of similar industry (and similar performance) to gauge the relative 'sentiment' of the industry.

For example in 2007 & 2010, the Plantation industry is 'hot', big stocks like KLK & IOI and others all have PE averaging around 15-20. But you see during the poor CPO pricing period (2001 & 2008) the same stocks is sold for PE of 9-11.

Relative stable and high ROE, high dividend stock like nestle stay at PE of about 20 though out 10 years, so if the PE dip to a 'low' of 16, it is a very good buy already. Some stocks tend to stay at PE of maybe 7 (micro-cap, low dividend, low ROE stock), even of the PE goes to 10, it is a relatively 'high' PE already

So in a nut shell, there are no PE guide for any stocks during anytime.

To see the relative PE range of each stock for the last 10 years, sneak a peek from the following book - Stock Performance Guide - By Dynaquest

An entitlement/option for you to purchase the underlying share at fixed value and/or conversion rate. Can be settled by cash (call warrant) or exchangeable (plain warrants) before the expiry date of the warrant.

You shares will be force sold by the stockbroking company and any losses will be charged to you.

Yes, standard charges applied, if there are any contra losses, interest will be charged to you. When a bank force sell, they sell at the lowest price available (current bid price) in order to get rid of your shares faster. Do you want this? if not, please settle your contracts on time or sell it yourself before T+3.

It means the rights to the RCLS and if you want to subscribe and pay the 2.20 for each RCLS loan socks, which will come with a free warrant. You will be issued the rights for every 3 shares you hold.

Example you hold 3,000 shares. You will be issued 1,000 OR. If you pay 1,000 x 2.20 = 2,200, then you will get 1,000 RCLS and 1,000 WA. If you do not want to subscribe the RCLS then you have 1 week to sell the OR or it will lapse.

Weather if it is good or not depends on the company.

If the company use the proceeds from RCLS diligently to increase business and get more profit which exceeds the dilution factor then it is a good thing.

If the money raised is not properly allocated (profit less or profit growth less than dilution) then it means your holding will be diluted by the conversion of RCLS in the future, then it is not a good thing.

Good or not, depends if you are confident with the company utilizing the money they borrow from issuing the RCLS.

If the RCULS are converted to odinary shares, then it is almost like a share split, albeit one splitting slowly over the lifetime of the RCULS.

umm.. the website of the broker you registered for your direct CDS account? Duh...

Look under Company Announcement -> Announcements, Listing Circulars & Notice to shareholder. Then you got to read and find what you are looking for.

You have to pay the minimum amount, which is RM 112.

If u buy 100 units x RM 1 then you pay RM 100 + RM 12 minimum because RM 100 x0.38% is less than RM 12.

If you buy 10000 units x RM 1 then you pay RM 10,000 + RM (10,000 x0.38%) = RM 10,038

Basically if you buy less than RM 3,158, then you have to pay minimum RM 12, above the amount then you get to calculate your brokerage rate.

And also you need to pay clearing fee of 0.03% plus stamp duty of RM 1 for every multiples RM 1,000 trade.

So back to the example, if you purchase 100 units x RM 1 stock, then you have to pay the fees below

Brokerage = RM 100 x 0.38% = RM 0.38 , but since it is less than RM 12, you must pay RM 12
Clearing Fee = RM 100 x 0.03% = RM 0.03
Stamp duty = RM 1 for every multiple RM 1,000 trade, since you figure is < RM 1000, so you pay the minimum RM 1

Total fees = RM 12 + 0.03 + 1 = RM 13.03, so you have a pay a total of RM 100 (share)+ RM 13.03 (fees) = RM 113.03

Remember you pay the fees for BUYING and also SELLING. Generally to minimize fees, you need to trade at minimum of RM 3k per purchase.

No, but it will be easier for you to transfer money to your trading account.

If you are going for CIMB Itrade, then get a basic CIMB account with internet banking access.

There are two types of dividend, single tier and normal dividends. Single tier dividends are tax free (actually the company already paid the tax for you), normal dividends are tax at 25% rate.

No... here is the calculation.

Buy Price = 3000 unit x RM 1 = RM 3000
Brokerage = 0.42% x 3000 = RM 12.60
Clearing Fees = 0.03% x 3000 = RM 0.90
Stamp Duty = RM 3,000/1000 = RM 3
Total Paid = RM 3,000 + 12.60 + 0.9 + 3 = RM 3,016.50

Sell Price 3000 unit x RM 1.01 = RM 3030
Brokerage = 0.42% x 3000 = RM 12.73
Clearing Fees = 0.03% x 3030 = RM 0.91
Stamp Duty = RM 3,030 /1000 = 3.03 rounded up to RM 4
Total Proceeds = RM 3030 - 12.73 - 0.91 - 4 = RM 3,012.36

So total earnings = RM 3012.36 - RM 3,016.5 = -4.14 (LOSS)

Above assume brokerage of 0.42% and min RM 12
