Banks in Malaysia are considered better governed, as in having strict rules in credit risk policy (adapting Basel II, Basel III). Unlike some other banks in other countries, where the banks over borrowed, and ended up kaboom when there is not enough of cash to turnaround.
It is also part of the rules set by BNM for banks to adhere to, which is a good point for investor to place their money in banking institute in Malaysia.

BIMB is a good start for new entry investor (Considering the capital needed is still small compared to other more matured banks.)

Affin is also heading for a good start recently. They had been making good profits since internal management changed (for the better). There will be a lot of prospect in Affin as they continue to grow overseas.

Highly recommended for low risk, mid-long term investor.
Excellent growth prospect in the future...

At all times, I believe internal news are more powerful than research house paper analysis. But, do bear in mind that internal news are not very easy to obtain. For us investor here, now there is a internal news - Possibility of a privatization of BIMB, it is up to an individual to decide whether to trust or not to trust. There is no forcing here, as the money comes from your own pocket. If that news is true, kudos towards it.. Then there shall be some handsome profits.

Anyhow as spoken before, bank in Malaysia are good to invest. Of course, please give it a long term, and not short term. Bank shares hardly get "fried up", but I do not want to eliminate the possibility of being "fried up". You buy @1.53, then hold it for a mid-long term period. It will definitely be fruitful then you put it in FD.

Good..Not to be sarcastic, but if you can go in today.. I will give you everything i got here to buy!

Ooo..
But graph analysis is darn important, as well as Financial analysis.

It is like a couple.. Husband and wife..

Really kuat kuat..Suddenly whoosh up

Yea, hope it is not a bear wearing a bull mask..

Should be good..
You can try to catch those around 1.40 to 1.45 range if it goes there.

But here is BIMB... Not HWBG

Today it fell below 1.45 during the 2nd half trading..

Good...
Expect it to hit around 1.20 then.. Coming soon

Current situation, easy to drop, hard to climb.
Expecting it to go 1.20 to 1.25 range if market continue to worsen down..

I can see CEO / director / shareholder is not supporting the price yet until it hits 1.20 - 1.23 level. That is why share prices plunging down and down.. In fact, the major shareholder let this happen..

My advice, do not enter until now until big lots are coming in. For averaging down, average properly according to your fund.. If you had limited fund, be sure you know what you are doing.

Share price will not be seeing any recovering at the time being.. Maybe side trading at 1.2x level first..

The dividend news yet to come?
Any news when will it come.. Maybe that will give another good boost

Maybe can go back to 1.7x

A few more days to go only..
Bravo on that then..

Wait monday lar.. A lot contra player selling off at T3

Those trader who are using cash trading account, they will only be able to buy shares according to their current cash limit.

But as for those who are using leveraging tools -> Margin account, that will be a different story altogether.
If a person buys a share, and hold it after T+3 day, he will be required to settle the share with cash. But because Margin account enable player to buy share more than what they can actually buy if only using cash, they might end up not able to settle the share bought. As a result, traders will sell the shares away.. Either making profit, or making loss.. If not selling, and no cash to settle the shares bought, bank will force sell the shares after T+3.
Trader will not be able to sell overdue contract, and bank can sell the contract at any price, and trader will bear the difference in loss, or pocket profit.
