This is definitely true.

If it is true, withdraw all your FD and put in stock, or we can form a syndicate to 'sapu' those good stocks. Haha

Personally I am not agree PetroGas is a good pick, it is trading at near 20x PER with not much exciting future or profit improvement ahead. Its high share price because due to low liquidity and well supported by gov investment arms rather than funds and FF wish to buy or to have.
Also gas price is regulated and fixed which they can't raise the price as they wish or according to market price.
So their business is rather depended and influenced by gov policy. If it is Petronas (the parent company) then I would say it might be good pick.

You don't get share price appreciation much even the market goes back up in those kind of stock. It is not the time to go for defensive after market had plunged down like that.

Auto industry is still a big problem due to over capacity. Only buy those Auto stock that are top pick and top performance sales in the market, others might be struggling.

Even you have online trading account, it doesn't mean you are inked with the trading system directly. You still deal or only linked with investment house system only, which eventually only being re-routed by the investment system to the BTS.

For normal direct account, non-nominee, non-collateral, they won't allow you to have direct deal as somebody must take responsibility with any purchase or sales, as whatever goes wrong, they will go after them in this case the remisier/brokers. Remisier has to pay if the clients can't pay up.

Otherwise, if Ah Beng, Ah Kow, or Ahmad (no offence) can simply open an online account, then buy syiok syiok, then missing in action, then who are going to pay the sellers?

You still can ask, no harm trying, it depends on service quality on respectively investment house/bank.

Some research papers are automatically available for all the subscribers which you can downloand from the site rather than sending to you in personally.

If meant for goreng no comment.
If meant for fundamental longer term investing, then

I don't know about this stock, but from the statement straight away I can pin-point out the contradicted statement within as bolded.

As the research house is viewing it won't be affected too largely due to secured contract and earning gorwth expected to continue, then why lower the target price? Because market price goes down, so lower it so that it is achievable??

You only downgraded a stock and target price when future is bleak which you see earning is going to drop. If you see earning is going to rise, it is doesn't make sense to lower the target price.

Don't mean to recommend anything, nor saying the research is good or not, just pointed out the illogical part.

Just think market will need a breath, don't overbullish or chase the market.

Few days?? wow, too imefficient.
I don't know others, last time, when I keyed wrong password for 3 three times, then account automatical being blocked. Then call them (investment bank), then ask you and verify your personal and confidential details, then after awhile can use back already.

This year probably won't extend to Feb, because CNY is Jan. So now already consider CNY or pre-CNY rally already.

Having said that, 1Q generally most of the time is the good Q for stock market. A lot of time, new high is achieved during 1Q.

No harm with cold water to cool down a bit, otherwise with few days or rising, some may getting "fever" and forget the downside risk already.

Yup, we had only one heart, please don't be getting heart attack.

What do you want? Down heart attack, cannot sleep, so sad blar blar. Up time kena heart attack also.
Hai, human cannot be satisfied one.

You can't earn all the money in the market.

But for me, don't intend to sell anything either, even some rise more than 20%. Getting their dividend is enough for me. The price appreciation side, only sell if go to extra-ordinary high level, or they can't pay or sustain the dividend anymore in the future. So do nothing is better approach at time being.
So, we should be enjoying the CNY or pre-CNY rally, otherwise, market down time, heart attack again. Haha

Remember PNB just reloading 2 billions new armour?

Just check the volume on KLCI component, to my surprise, most are in low volume only (below 3 millions), only a few plantation stocks and KNM are having an OK volume, others still quite low, doesn't match the 20 points rise in KLCI.

Ask back yourself, do you buy it for long term in the first place, or just 'goreng' hangus one and stuck with it?

Really beh tahan with IOI, next time plunge time, a stock that will put into my must buy list.

Surge 100% from the recent slide of 2.xx but CPO just recovering less than 30~40%.

Anything is possible, but by then 55 cents dividend will be ex-already.

KLK is no match with IOI, not even half on it!

KLK surges from around 7.00 to now around 10.00, about 40% from the low.

IOI surges from 2.xx to 4.40 (highest today), about 100% from the low.

IOI - a must buy list now. But cannot buy now, too high already (my opinion)

Oil is sliding now already. So plantation fever should be cooling down if oil continues to drop.

I don't like to see oil rise at all below USD 50 still acceptable, as I don't want to pump Rm2.70 petrol anymore. It is painful everytime go to petrol station then at least 100 must go. It makes life miserable with sky-rocketing inflation.

Bursa? OIC, the hundred million locomotive which occassionally hang around 2.00pm one?

Agree, buy those exchange stock when the real bull is coming back, but don't think it will at near term, years to come may be, not now. There are plenty of job being slashed, factory trim down capacity, business become slower, so it will take awhile before everything will back to normal. It won't happen next week or next month or next few months.
Once people being bitten by the snake, then it will take awhile before forget about the snake, or I might be wrong, may be Malaysian is more forgetful than most others , no offence. My opinion only.

Don't look for peanut, if really interested in those fundamental stocks, go for big banana.

Don't want always pick peanut, the loss with banana.

Should pick banana then loss with peanut.

Otherwise, most will ended up with net loss (overall portfolio), and stuck with a bunch of losing stock in hand, which I had discussed before.
You don't kill (sell) your good stock by taking peanut, while hold and stuck with those losing one.

The WCT's cancellation project send market back to reality. Even those already being awarded the project, by no mean, it is 100% will be carrying on. Especially if oil price doesn't go up, which mean less income for the oil producing countries, those highly lucrative and massive project one in those countries, is always got a risk.

Aiya, this has nothing to do whether to buy or not. If they are making good houses, but cannot make a profit, then it is not wise to buy the stock either, better buy the house, haha.

Anything is possible right now.
We had hundred years old investment firm from Bear Stern, Lehman went under, one of the oldest retailers in UK, Woolworth need to close hundred of shops. GM, Ford, among the oldest car manufacturers are at risk, etc... so on and on.

If you are relied on others for your businesses then you need to see how your customers are doing right now.

Others than consumer essential based businesses, none are safe in recession. It is the reality.

Some more, even for ordinary company, there is a chance or risk of default in credit as well.
