I see some of you guys with huge portfolios. Are those shares speculated on or have you had them for a long time?
As for me, the only shares I have are UOB and APB. THose are for long-term holding. -

Actually i am interested in shares, so can i ask u guys a few questions..
Normally how u go about buying the shares??
Go online and buy personally or go through a agent??
How much do u guys normally buy??What is the minimum amount to buy??
They always mention 1 lot 2 lot..1 lot equals to 1000 shares right??
And the price to pay is using the cost of one share X the number of shares u want right?? -
1) You buy shares from the market through a broker or an internet trading platform. Buying shares from a broker is much more expensive than buying it from an internet platform. The older generation would probably prefer to trade shares through a broker. The younger generation prefers to trade shares online.Originally posted by *Lord Kang*:Actually i am interested in shares, so can i ask u guys a few questions..

There are pros and cons for both systems. But the trend is moving towards trading shares using an internet platform.
2)Well, its difficult to define what is "normally". How many shares each person buy is up to the individual. If you are bullish about a certain stock, you buy more of it. If you are not too confident, you either buy less or dont buy at all. The amount you buy is also limited to the size of your pocket.
3)1 lot normally means 1000 for most counters. However, there are some counters that are traded in lots of 50, 500 and 100. This is because the price of that counter is very high.
4) Lets say you want to buy 2 lots of SMRT shares at $1 per share. 1 lot of SMRT consist of 1000 shares.
COST
2000 x $1 = $2000
Broker's Fees: $25
Total= $2025 -

Wheellock: picked up in market crash during 2001
This one has blasted off to space & gone to mars, my gain is nearly 300% on top of dat they will pay $1.62 per share dividend with rights issue very soon. I will own this share in the end for free and still enjoy huge capital gains.
PUC: bought may/june this yr, this one just took off for the moon, my gain is abt 85%, recently macquire infrastructure bought a chunk of their port operation in china, I hear they still have a ton of section 44 credits not yet used. I think it will be a bumper FY2005.
SGX: Ah .. my fav durian tree, this one has been growing and growing without me having to water or feed any fertalizer and every year is giving good fruit. This one just maintain can le
Yongnam: picked up few years back at all time low, this papaya tree is still struggling to find a nice spot with good drainage and lots of sunlight to grow, price had risen sharply but now is down 50% but I'm still up 25% on it so can't complain. -

But I got valuable tips as one of my relatives is working in STENGG. -
Im using Phillips. So far no problems except that some of their Listed Company Data is outdated. Phillips isnt the cheapest in terms of broking charges. But they have a stable online trading platform. I think eq.com.sg is the cheapest. They give Linkpoint rebates also.Originally posted by *Lord Kang*:Which securities firm will u guys recommend??
