Buying opportunities again ... are you dare to go for some year end bonus this year ? TM : no major news, could have bought in today.  Should be a good keeper. AIRASIA : EPF leaving, International investors support, internal Directors buy back.  If you like Airasia business model etc.  Opportunity to buy now.  No foreseeable big profit gain by year end thao. AXIATA : No Major News, EPF & Amanah Raya holding up. DIGI : face problems in service area, technical issues, licenses etc.  EPF disposing.  Watch closely for Management strategy turn over.  Now this company is 'finally' going south, not just stock wise, mainly business wise. PBBANK : NO Major news, EPF continuously holding up.  But technically just started a down trend.  Don't chase down trend, wait a bit on this one. What is your opinions ?  All comments welcome ...

In stock investment, you should learn how to see the mega trend.  When it is generally a bull trend, you simply buy some blue chips and it shall earn you some good money.  When bear comes, you took your profit.  As long as you don't stay too close to the market, this can rather easily be achieved.  Just walk around a wet market and ask 10 stalls how the market is.  You will be surprised how closely their non-professional opinions are related to the real market performance. Then you must realize NOT ALL stocks are the same.  Even during an obvious bull run, there are some stocks going down.  Like wise during bear runs.  Some stocks will still go up.  Finding out these 'Reversal Stocks' is important for a full time traders. The reason goes like this:  there is a fix amount of money floating in the market.  The mega fund managers simply CAN NOT withdraw TOTALLY from the market even if it is GUARANTEED a bear market.  They are...

MPlus Online and ECMmoney  offers the lowest brokerage fee @ 0.08% for cash upfront account.  MPlus offers even lower rate @ 0.05% if you have more than 30k balance. Follows by  Hong Leong , Jupiter Online , OSK 88   who offers 0.1% source I have been using Jupiter but I am paying 0.45%.  I forgot why I pay so much, perhaps its because I am an Elite member who obtain extra trading info !?  My effective fee cost is actually 0.6% and below. I tried to switch to CIMB but not successful due to their systems are not easy to use.  I stay with Jupiter mainly because I can trade from my android phone.

why some idiot can earn money from stock market but some smartest analysts don't ?

Have you ever had the experience that before you invest in something, you always get the market right ?  Then once you get into in, things start going the other way and you wonder Argh !!! Its just so typical ?  Well, you are not alone.  Almost everyone has that, even the most experience investor.  But would Warren Buffet fall for such prey too ? There is such thing called 10 years cycle in global stock market where the worst and best performance take turns every 10 years, there about.  Previous recessions happened in 1990, 1998, 2008.  So theoretically for the next few years, we are heading toward the next height better than ever before. Warren Buffet shared the same thought and he has been heavily invested into the market since 2009.  By early 2011 he is almost fully into the market.  But everyone can see now that the market is NOT shooting up yet.  On the contrary, most are expecting double dips now especially for the wester...

21st century personal finance is moving away from saving and focus into the income arena. In short, the gurus are now educating public that saving is NOT good enough , hence sourcing for passive incomes on the another hand is a BETTER solution, than just saving alone. While the concept is definitely true and correct but unfortunately as the hypes go bigger and bigger, the idea of passive income has been abused and more scams started to appear in the market, as if they were the gurus as well. Except the 'passive income' they refer to is barely promoting their own original same old products. The personal finance market has become so competitive that even some real gurus have no choice but to go beyond the line in their marketing effort - Robert Kiyosaki is no exception in spreading " Saving is bad ". Although passive income is very well defined here using income ratio 1:100 but is there really such thing as Passive income ? When I looked up dictionary, these word...

The Economy-Political Quadrant may seems like telling where to keep or invest your money despite good or bad time. It indeed works very well during 20th century. Unfortunately comes to 21st century, not only has the year changed, personal finance arena has changed drastically as well. Gold has been speculated so much that it MAY no longer be the standard of money. There used to be only ' property ' in the city. Now there are satellite towns, suburbs ... agriculture lands and even dust bins ( recycle ) have become valuable estates too. While property remains the right category to invest into whenever economy is booming, but predict the right future seems like tougher than buying lottery. Government bonds used to be de-Facto action when a country is stable. But in today's world, a country is as smart as a taicon's finance. One day they are the LARGEST, the next day they are GONE. Stock market used to be the back bone of a country's economy. However, the marke...

There are 2 BIG main external factors affecting our investment decisions Economy Politic When the time is really bad (economy downturn and politically unstable), its best to park your money under something that is really stable, ie Gold . Which is by definition usable anywhere you go in anytime. When its good time, invest direct to the stock market would yield very good return. When the economy is not so good in a strong country, the government bonds or related money market would be able to yield higher return than just gold. However, the most dispute solution in good economy unstable country is investment in property . This is mainly due to easier rental and higher chance of capital gain. By simply moving money around depends on the political and economy situation, one was able to achieve more than 12% compound return for the past 20 years. That is equivalent to a 10X return. But by no mean this is easily done. Some of the concerns include; how would one know exactly when econo...

There are certain fundamental stuffs that you should do even before you fully understand what they are . That will at least keep you afloat at a certain stage, also often used as resting stage or jumping stone to higher level. Usually this stage is also adequate for young adult to retire early . What goes beyond however will require clear target and solid methods . Some of the easier methods shared before are ; Stock Investment : When to Buy at What Price ... Why Use EPS and PE ... Where to get these data ? ... Management, the Qualitative side Guaranteed Property Investment method One common element to do great thing is the use of Leverage . Unfortunately, a lot of people learn about leveraging before they learn the right method. As a result they simply leverage everything they had. Leverage is basically maximizing result, no matter what direction it goes . If you have a good investment system, leveraging it would result a bigger profit. Likewise, if you have a bad or no system...

Faber Group was one of the worst run businesses of all time. They wanted to do 'everything' and ended up achieved almost 'nothing'. Its one of those stories who involved in property development and didn't quite make it. The whole restructuring exercise took more than 5 years before they finally turned it around. What is interesting however is its consistent up trend in their EPS earning, despite that it started from a negative (84.2) in 1998. Looking forward, if the person who is managing finance in Faber continues to stay in power, this is worth looking into more. It could become one of the best long term keeper. Key to success is if they can repeat 2005-2006 growth now. This can be determined by reading their latest annual report. Challenges are varies of their continuous law suits. SAPCRES , Oil and Gas, looks pretty good now. It seems like anything under RM 2.49 is a good buy ( and keep for the next 10 years). The problem is technically it is at its ...

Just came back from Jupuiter Online seminar, some of their stock picks for the year of 2010 are: Zhulian Faber WellCall Holdings Sapura Crest Atrium REIT TSM Global Paramount Corp Kurnia Talk given by: Pong Teng Siew. Actually he mentioned these are short to medium terms recommendation only ie. next month to next quarter or so. Overall there are many uncertainties ahead that the bullish trend is really questionable. Hence generally there will be a correction in the market soon, followed by a mainly side trends for the next 2 years. A few points that I manage to digest are: Governments backup funds are ending in mid or end of the year, banks are not likely to recover fully and able to stand on their own yet. USA employment rate is actually higher than reported figures because the number of people claiming un-employment insurance are still rocket high. A lot of part time workers are actually un-willingly working part time but forced to. China rising inflation may result them pulling b...

I have stopped stock market talks for a while based on comments received in the past. But about 20% of the old readers unsubscribed following that. So I am guessing there may still be some silence readers who love stock market talks. And I feel very itchy not to share my view seeing that no one else publishes my opinions. So pardon my incidental randoms. As some may have known by now that KLSE is damn HOT now! Axiata, PBBank, KYM, RCECAP, LIONDIV, LIONIND, MBSB, AFG etc. all shoot up 8-12% in a day. This has happened since 2 days ago KLSE finally broke its 1300 ceiling after 10 months of 'recovery'. Things are indeed great. But you may want to know a few things; Despite higher closing price, MORE number of stocks are dropping THAN rising, 2 days in a roll. This may imply that only a few stocks are being speculated. Investors may even withdraw from other stocks in order to join the hot stocks growth. This also shows that there is NOT ENOUGH investment money flowing with...

One of the commonly spread concepts in investment is that " Timing is Everything ". The mother of all laws in investment is " Buy Low Sell High ", hence knowing WHEN to buy and WHEN to sell is key to everything. Although this seems very logical and correct but it may NOT be the Best strategy one should apply in investment, especially in personal finance. Timing is indeed very important but it doesn't have to be " Everything " . Timing can be further categorized into (1) timing the exact moment and (2) timing a general period. For example, is current market just over its peak now vs generally the market is still rather high now. While it seems impossible to predict the exact future but its always simpler to get a sense of what may happen next . I predict that The sun will rise tomorrow morning vs The sun will be seen at 7:23am after the clouds are cleared off in 13 minutes If an investor is Correct All The Time, focusing solely on timing would be a...

It was mentioned before that you can use your EPF money to invest directly in the stock market, especially through Jupiter and Amara. The main selling points are; cheaper than invest to Mutual Fund ( 5.5% ) vs 3% charged by Amara freedom to invest in any particular stock and not a whole portfolio. Although Jupiter only charges 0.1% or minimum RM 10 brokerage fee but actually Amara, the licensed EPF withdrawal facilitator, have more charges other than the 3% one time drawn down fee. The significant ones are Transaction fee : 0.1% or minimum RM 15 per contract Custody fee RM 0.005 per 1,000 shares per month Add together with Jupiter's fee, your total brokerage fee may effectively be at 0.2% or minimum RM 25. So each MOTS (Minimum Optimized Trading Size) is RM 12,500. With RM 25,000 you can only make 2 transactions. Assuming you fully load all your investment in the market and average price per share is RM 1. Then 25,000 shares /1,000 x 0.5 cent = RM 0.125 every month. 1 year w...

If you have enough money in your EPF, you can withdraw some of them into a stock trading account and invest for yourself. This may interest those who think they are more market savvy than EPF investment. ie. you were NOT happy with EPF past year performances or you think you can do better than them in future. First of all, depends on what your age is, there is a certain amount of money you have to leave in account 1. After minus out this amount, you can withdraw up to 20% of whatever left in Account 1. However, the fund receiving party may not simply accept any small amount. A common minimum amount to be withdrawn is MYR 30,000. Together with Amara, Jupiter Online recently has an offer where the minimum amount is lowered to MYR 25,000. This way, more EPF account holder can use their money for this purpose. Fees being charged are One time 3% drawn down fee. ( by Amara ) 0.1% or MYR 10 brokerage fee ( by Jupiter ) The following table shows how much you need in your Account 1 in your EPF...
