hi could someone please explain what is "B%" or "Buy Rate" on M2U OST.. thankyou
or is there anything like a manual/reference to M2U OST ? the user guide only explains general usage, not technical terms ...
thanks again

hi, im learning how to calculate dividend too..
isnt 30,000 X RM0.02 = RM600 ? do you to convert back to RM6 ??

thank you VyvernS,

referring to the Daya example above,

Do i have to deduct tax from the RM900 or the tax has already been deducted ?
if im not wrong the tax should be 25% unless it is stated "Exempted", right ?

uhmm... need help here..

lets say my orders are partially matched...

500units matched out of 2000....

do i need to pay brokerage for the 500units ?
if need to pay then i


thank you...

I try to explain.. hope i get it right,, seniors plz correct me if im wrong..

3 fees to take note when u make a transaction..
1)Brokerage - varies.. im using Maybank, so let me use maybank's online rate as example.
0.42% of contract value (for all transactions inclduding intraday) - minimum RM28

2)Stamp Duty - RM1.00 for every 1000 or part, of contract value

3)Clearing Fee - 0.03% of contract value with no minimum

so, your transaction cost should be:

Brokerage + Clearing Fee + Stamp Duty + Contract Value
(20000 * 0.835 * 0.42%) + (20000 * 0.835 * 0.03%) + (Ceiling(20000 * 0.835 / 1000) + (20000 * 0.835)
= 70.14 + 5.01 + 17 + 16700
= 16792.15

it is ok not to attend or respond to a company's AGM right ?
haha sorry if this question is terribly noob...

wow.. many thanks for all the replies...
haha so they give out goodies to shareholders...
maybe it's good to attend one.. just for the experience... coz anyway it comes only once a year...

Hi,

I need some help with Gearing
i've searched the FAQ and beginner's section but couldnt find the answer.

Investopedia defines gearing as
A fundamental analysis ratio of a company's level of long-term debt compared to its equity capital. Gearing is expressed in percentage form.
Companies with high gearing - more long-term liabilities than shareholder equity - are considered speculative.

While in wikipedia shows the formula to calculate gearing : debt to equity ration = D/E


1)Personally, I think it is good to look at gearing as well on top of PER, Is it a good practise or something redundant ?

2)Where can I find out a company's gearing? It is in most research papers, but most of the time getting the research paper for a particular company is the problem.

3)If I have to calculate gearing myself, can i use the formula from wiki ? I can get the debt value from financial report, what about equity ? Is equity the market capital of the company ?

4)Also, what does the gearing on warrant's page mean ? Is it the mother share's gearing or the warant's gearing ?

Thanks a lot..

hihi progamerCF,

I'm also new in stock trading, let's learn together...

1)If you read the interim reports and annual reports, you can find a section where they calculate EPS for you..
for example TM's 2nd quarter report page 26 u can see:
Profit: 266M
Number of shares: 3,519.1M
EPS: 0.76
you can get past results either from KLSE or the respective company's website (if they update)

2)Yes, Just sum up 4quarters EPS to get the annual EPS.
If you just want Q2 EPS, then just use Q2-earning/Q2-number of shares.
Please refer to annual reports/interim reports, you can understand better from there.

3)By PE are u referring to Price-Earning ? If you are then i think it is based on each Public Listed Company and not the whole Industry...
I dont know that there is PE for the whole industry. If im not wrong usually they take past 4quarters earnings and divide by latest share price.. then u will get PER. Again, lets take TM as an example,

last years annual (4 quarters) EPS was 23.00cents
last traded at 3.05
PER: 3.05/0.23 = 13.26

There are 2 scenarios:
If you buy and sell within T+3 and sell at a loss then yes, you have to pay the difference in price. This is also known as Contra.

If you buy and settle the payment in Full Latest by T+3 then u dont have pay for the loss if it drops. That is because you already owned the 1000 shares. It can drop to 0.00 and you dont have to fork out extra money..

btw, with rm5000 i dun think u can buy 1000 of RM5 shares because of Brokerage + stamp duty + clearance fee..

have fun trading

hi, i dont trade futures but imo, u need to pick one that:
~Offers Future Trading,
~Offers Reliable Trading Platform,
~Offers Reliable Customer Service (dealer/remisier),
~Offers Convenient ways for you to settle payments (ie near your house/office/online)

I wouldnt recommend you to start with Futures, but you have all the right to decide..
cheers

i strongly recommend beginners to read through http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1039913
to avoid posting repetitive Q&A....

use the search function and very likely you'll get lots of extra information...

err what are the names for the 2 columns ?? screenshots dont have column names...

@kochin:
means u can buy an additional share for Rm1.60 for each share you already own. You should ask your dealer on the buying process. I think you need to submit some forms and make payments separately.
Also take note that MAS price will be adjusted after the end of the exercise.
RI is like forcing investors to fork out more money.. because if you dont subscribe to RI, you lose out because there will be share dilution..

I wonder...
What are shareholders' value to the company?
When we hold/buy share, are we contributing anything to the company at all ?
I know companies go public to raise capital, but the trading after that doesnt make any impact to them, does it ?

LOL this is a beginner beginner's question...

Coz I'm thinking, if shareholders are of no value besides going to AGM to complain and leech dividend, why would the company management want to care so much for them ?
