Actually, I was just lucky I guess. I happened to see the prices of YTL-Power shares rising without a clue of what's happening. Bought it at $0.62 and then it dropped to $0.58 (I think). Almost cut loss this morning after yesterday's massive Dow drop but thank God I decided to hold on another day!

Adam: still bearing a grudge or can't stand other people making a right move? What about your prediction last week that "Dow will be bloody red tonight" when it went on a 5-day rally instead? Hmm...

I could post a screenshot of my YTL Power-WB purchase on M2U, but will you apologize for your sarcasm?

I agreed too, that is way i never told the figure i trade as i lazy to scan my trading account statement to ur.

To tech someone the technic to catch fish is better than to give someone a Fish.

Hm... this is getting out of hand better clear the air before people's hand get Burned/melted.

The previous example applies ONLY if you are able to exercise the Warrant, which u can do so in...3478 day

If you do intend to eventually take up the stock, the warrant is trading at a discount so I suppose it's a better choice.

The Warrant is Very high risk as most of the senior forummers will tell u, stay away if are not able to stand the risk of losing or gaining 20-30% per day.

Yup thats y got warn ppl to beware of warrant in my ytl power topic

Where as for my case, i am ready to convert my warrant any time but look like no need as maybe tomolo will off load to lock in some gain

Yup, I agree the warrants are risky because of their aggressive dividend policy. I'll be selling them in warrant form, which means a discount to the mother share.

My strategy is holding ytl power mother for long term as i beliv it will reach RM 5.00 in 10 years time and enjoy the dividend.

Where as the warrant for me to contra everytime it swing.

There are also some Investment banks and brokers that invest the excess money received from clients(regardless Nominee or direct CDS clients)into short-term money markets to earn interest,the interest earned is then given back to clients after deducting administration fees and a portion as IB's profit.

As a guide,the current interest rate offered by my firm is 2.75 % pa but the base RM2000 will attract no interest.

YTL Power WB is American style,meaning you can exercise it anytime.

Really? I didnt realise that, previous search into that warrant failed to reveal if it is european or american style.

Good to know, thanks.

2 opinion :-

Why buying warrant at 62sen when there are many stocks at that price are trading at the PE of 4 to 10x 08 or 09 ?

I mean stocks are better to hold for long term than warrants themselves.

Buying warrants are no diff from buying speculative shares. bcos it is not easy to value them, beside the normal expiry dates.

Just my 2sen.

Hahaha... like I said, I just bought it because I noticed they were unusually active and rising.

You're right about stocks rather than warrants! Because apart from YTL Power-WB, I also today bought more Zelan, KNM, Gtronic and Pelikan for the long term.

I personally hold quite a lot of KNM , plan to sell when the price double up.

I read the reports and fundamentally can hold KNM for medium to long term. EPF is holding 7.5%. Small Cap Fund US, just bought 5.8 % last month.

People think it is a goreng stock, but I go for longer period investment.

need some patience to reap the real rewards.

I personally think stock without any dividend not really good for long term as you did not get any return annually until you sell it. And basically you don know when it will rally. Where as you buy stock with dividend it basically give you some income while holding it.

I personally think AXREIT is good for long term. My target price is RM 1.10 . wHEN MARKET rally it may double the price and good dividend.

haha, same boat, i also hold plenty of KNM

today KLCI green ???

DJIA closed the day green with:

8,419.09 +270.00 +3.31%

Well, looks like someone was shooting off his mouth again but not man enough to answer my challenge to apologize if I could show proof. That's why I've said before not to be so cocky - don't think you're the best because there are many others here more successful than you but are keeping quiet.

Here's a screenshot of my M2U to prove once and for all that I don't lie about my trading because I don't need to. Although I make money, trading's just a hobby/investment because I'm actually very successful in my day job. Maybe one day I'll share my story here.

^ off topic a bit.... "direct" means buy? "commit" means sell? what does the "age" column means?

Direct - normal buy/sell.
Commit - you're committing your funds to buy, i.e. picking up the stocks.
Age - how many days since you've bought the stocks, i.e. have to pick up by T+3.
