Hmm TS i guess what you meant is how to analyse stock. IMHO, RM 2K is not enough to invest but it is good that u realise the need to invest in order to curb inflation rate. Basically there is 2 common ways to analyse stock.

1. Fudemental Analysis

Fudemental analysis is the most common ways of analyzing stock performance.

1. To analyse the health economy as a whole
2. Gain an understanding of industy and the maturity of the industry
3. The macroeconomic factor of the industry
4. The financial standings of the company.

2. Technical Analysis is study of charts and make investment based on 2 principle
Principle 1: History will repeats itself
Principle 2: The price pattern is the sum of all the behaviour of the market crowd. This indirectly means the psychology of the market.

You can read up more and buy more books from MPH to get a better understanding. It is very important that you invest in yourself before you invest in others. Invest in yourself in form of Investment education and be ready to get hook into the investment world.

I am just like you....Still a student. Any mistake please correct me.
