Generally, about stock investing, usually if u target blue chips, and plan your entry well (price & timing), sooner or later, boleh buat duit. (later means few months, even years). Can make better than unit trust and FD etc.
But if put money into speculative hot stocks, yg syndicate suka main, must keep monitoring closely, or else, be prepared to get burnt...Be prepared to cut loss....

LOL.
Been some while i did not browse here.
Hey bro, not hard feelings for what i had said ya.
I posted that when i'm hot headed.

btw i started rm5000

Current political climate, should avoid taking up GLC shares or GLC related shares.

Who knows what is going to happen in future... Maybe should avoid GLC at all costs in whatever situation since it is always labelled as non-competitive.

Yes,

TNB, TM, Sime, MISC, Plus which the company major shareholders are gov or gov investment arms like Khazanah, PNB, EPF etc. whereby company decision is influenced by gov decision, that's we call GLC.

how abt Maybank ? Is it Glc also ?

MBB is GLC. Same goes with PLUS, CIMB, RHB..

Basically GLC companies create inefficiency which will affect the bottom-line.

As for today political climate, uncertainty over where the Government is heading will ultimately lead to uncertainty in GLC companies. For eg. S'gor and the water concession, Penang and PGCC.

hi, underage here, know nothing

i wanna ask if i buy 10 shares but tomolo drop 20 shares, does it mean i need to pay another 10 shares to cover up the loss

Your concept of buying shares on the stock market is wrong first and foremost.

The number of shares on the market is fixed or constant. Meaning if there is 1000 shares in the market held by different people, it will stay that way.

When you buy a share for a price let's say RM1.00 for 1 share from someone else.

You will pay RM10.00 for 10 shares to that person.

If the price tomorrow drops to RM0.90 a share. You do not need to top up. You still hold the 10 shares you bought, just that it's worth on the market is now lower or RM9.00.


There is a very good guide in Investopedia for stock market newbies, explaining the concept of the stock market. You can learn a lot from doing the tutorial. Much more than what you can expect from short answers here.

hey can i ask..
if i buy a share (1lot) at 4.16 with 0.2 dividend and sell at 4.08, i lose or gain? using maybank2u. anyone can teach me?

thanks

although i am not playing in stock market now, just pcs of advise, if the stock doesn't look well and will raise in short time, better sell it off lo, unless from ur study, u've confidence that it will raise in long term. If not, dun bet. sell it at lower price at least u still got capital at next time. Up to u

theorically, u suppose to earn Rm12 , (4.08-4.16+0.2)x100 . But practically, you might lost Rm20 - 40+ depends on the brokerage fees and also government taxes . Therefore, no ppl buy 1 lot , as it takes centuries to start earning (not include those bluechip such as nestle or bat cause they might raise Rm1 in a session)

My personal experience - If you have small capital, make sure you do your homework properly before you jump in. You won't have much capital to average down your cost should the price gone lower. Never buy a stock because of rumours, never buy a stock because it happened to be cheap, never buy a stock when you have no idea what the company is doing. Stock market can bring you good return but at the same times, it can loss a lot of your hard earned money. Try to learn more the proven "guru"

I started small when i first started work in year 1996, one lot at a time, now I can afford to go in more. If you do your homework properly and be discipline, you can build up your "stock" in stock pretty fast

Good luck friend

I thought we are suppose to buy on rumors and sell on news?

capital 50k lost 20% and win 10% then lose then win then lose then win... like a roller coaster..

Buy on rumours and sell on news is never a good move (personal view + painful experience). Often when you hear the rumours, it is the time the Big Brothers are selling...we poor retailers are being bring into the pic to take up their share. If you are serious about share market, try make youself an investor and not a spectulator. Perhaps you can learn from the ultimate GURU - Warran buffett

oh yeah.. Warran buffett...
he is now the richest man in the world..
perhaps.... can read more of his articles..
i also beginner here

The same goes for bluechips like you mention nestle or bat unless you have the capital to buy in 1 lot or in most cases 10 lots then that's another reason.

yes Snoopy. Warren Buffett don't get rich for nothing. He has a good direction as far as investment is concerned. I trying to learn his style of investment, although at times, I let my emotions take over the needed dicipline. But more than once I have proven that if we invest in a value stock and stick to it, we will receive the reward.

I have a youtube link on Warren Buffett..A GOOD ONE. I have it recorded in my blog. You might want to check it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW1eg9p5wq4&feature=related
