personally i'm using HLebroking. it's not a nominee account, setting up the CDS and everything can be done at Wisma HLA (i did it there) through forms.

Standard charges are 0.42% for 0-100k transac, 0.20% above 100k. RM12 minimum brokerage.
Day trade - max 0.10%.

but the charges are very dependent on how low u can bargain with them.

i'm not sure about Jupiter whether there account is a direct / nominee CDS account though. but just inputting my 2 sens.

Added on September 27, 2009, 1:24 amjust want to clarify on this.

WA, WB, WC, etc are all company-issued warrants. the end-alphabet is just a suffix to differentiate between the various warrants.

those with LA such as Waseong-LA, are ICULS (Irredeemable Convertible Unsecured Loan Stock)

stocks like YTLLAND-PA/DPS-PA/TALAM-PA are ICPS (Irrdeemable Covertible Preference Shares)

for PBBANK-CJ, PBBANK-CK, PBBANK-CL the C means the stock is a call-warrant, usually issued by an underwriting investment bank.

i dont know much about ICULS and ICPS tbh.

can .. a stock can even open at limit down provide there's a buy along with a counterparty sell pre-opening.

cash upfront account means that your buying power is limited to how much cash you have, e.g: 1k only. no margin, and no share collateral.

going along those lines.. would it be possible then to transfer shares from CDS Acc 1 to CDS Acc 2 (effectively changing brokers without selling shares)?

i don't know how much interest your broker pays u for keeping money in the trust a/c. hle gives 2.3%

formulas.. u might be thnking of technical analysis then.

although i wouldn't recommend going purely on technical analysis as this isn't derivatives or forex. fundamental analysis still play a strong role in choosing a stock.

company annual reports are first. u can get them from bursa's webpage. or perhaps u can undertake ur own sector or industry analysis, top-down or bottom-up. plenty of info from analyst reports, briefings, or stuff as simple as watching the most active counters on bursa everyday.

i don't know where you found out that equity is high-risk. it can be very low risk if you want it that way.

#1: 5% over 3 months is good, but usually ppl talk about annual returns. FD is 2.8-3% a year, high-yield dividend stocks around 5-6%, REITs around 7-8.5%, if you can do 10-15% a year (and outperform the KLCI index), imo that's considered quite an achievement already.

#2: time range? from my understanding and experience so far, there's daytrading, contra trading, short term speculative/fundamental, mid/long term fundamental, growth / dividend play, cum-dividend play, bonus issue/share split play and maybe others. everything can be fully customised to your risk appetite. Profit also up to you.

in a nutshell.. there's no standard definition of good performance in a nice timeframe. it's very subjective.

consolidation of 4 to 1. you're talking about KNM?
the perception is that reducing liquidity (by consolidating shares, and increasing the par value) is a result of reduced interest from shareholders. hence it usually isn't a popular move. there's no effect of share consolidation on the company accounts. just shareholder perception.

BJCorp on 28th June was trading between 1.21 to 1.28. I don't know where you got 1.03 to 1.09 from.

share buybacks usually means management wants to
#1 support the share, or;
#2 act in the interest of long term shareholders for the benefit of the company (sorta like tying them down), by giving share dividends (like YTL), and not so much cash dividends.

all depends on the pricing, if the price is quite high, it's not actually beneficial for the shareholders,
then again, if the company is really interested in rewarding shareholders then it can give cash dividends, since that way the shareholders can decide for themselves whats best..

btw, share buybacks generally don't impact much of the structure of the company, just the way they use their retained profits.

just my opinion. also, cherroy has a good viewpoint on share buybacks

my platform (HLebroking) has all these info, BQ (Buy Queue), SQ, volume/Time, Buy %, Price/Time, Transaction Size, etc. I think it's pretty standard everywhere.

usually doesn't mean anything.
it's just a private fundraising by the company. if i recall you'll get a bit of EPS dilution, and your accounting would have slightly different share capital amount.

bro u salah thread la

the key-in salah ones are fat fingers lol

i think #1 is an error ... like a default value on the form when you don't fill up the forms? #2 is the changes in shareholding in one of those major shareholders of the company. but they'll also list other major shareholders that collectively have an indirect interest via the shareholder whose interests have changed.

e.g: first listed is Sunway City Berhad, so that's the fella who's shareholdings have been affected, then the following are just the other major shareholders of the company who also have a stake or are affiliated with sunway city bhd.

The amount is the same to reflect that these other shareholders have an indirect interest in the company via sunway city bhd, and they are required to be listed under form 29b i think. thats how i read it.

-- i hope it helps.. sorry if it sounds confusing

haha, no harm doing those as long as its free
if you're in good relation with your broker, they'll forward you free reports.
mine forwards OSK reports, while i get RHB n HLIB.

come to think of it, maybe i should do this too.. go sign up with CIMB etc and get their reports

1 lot nowadays is 100 shares and thats the minimum you can buy. i think about 3 years ago it was 1 lot = 1000 shares.

Par value is used in calculating the company's issued share capital in the balance sheet. By default it's rm 1.00 per share, but it changes when a company undergoes share consolidation, capital repayment, share split, capital reduction, etc.

Par value, IMO, means nothing to me, except that if a share is trading below par value it means that the company's performance (market perception) is worse than when it was first listed.

e.g. Company A: Par value 1.00 when listed in 2005, now trading at 0.10 in 2010

to me it means that the company is performing way worse in 2010 than 2005.

compare it to digi, where share par value is 10 sen, now trading > rm20, gave out capital repayments and strong dividend yield for years. to me this means its 100x better than Company A.

hope it helps, just what i think.

yeah.. reflects the start-up capital of the company. for me there's no significance of it. rather look at other financial and balance sheet ratios to determine the health of the company.

IINM, no. only EOD data even in the xpert trader version. correct me if i'm wrong.

my opinion -
is that you should disregard #2. it's almost impossible to spot this arrangement although it's quite easy to assume that with a big seller, someone else has to absorb the slack. if you reverse the logic (EPF collecting) does that mean that the shark is taking profit and EPF is bullish on the stock? doesn't really sound right to me.

it goes down to the stock, in the case of DRB, EPF has been collecting and disposing on certain days of the uptrend, but the important point was there were massive sharks in there wiping out a few sell queues (or at least >500k shares) in a few secs.

plus EPF is quite erratic sometimes, they themselves are sharks. i'd only take notice if EPF has been substantively selling down the stock by a few % of shareholding or buying up the stock. but sneaky EPF always have some kind of tricks up their sleeve or very quick info.

my 2 sen.
