Don't pm leh, I also want to learn new things leh.Originally posted by Li Ka Shing:I also thought that definitely being a business owner is more exciting than sitting in front of the computer. So, just explore your options in life. Maybe you will find more fulfillment by working and then open a business. Investing is not only through the stock market. The problem is, trading the stock market can be very boring. -
Thanks a lot! You have been quite a help. Owning a business is more challenging and more exciting, at the same time can be stressful sometimes and it is definitely something which I would like to do in the future. I mean I can't do anything now, you need big bucks to operate most type of business. I'm a muslim, and by understanding how the market works in depth allows me to do my investments carefully without challenging the restrictions within my religion. Also, its for my future and the future of my family. So basically, it's a long-term plan, short-term, I believe would be very difficult due to the restrictions in Islam.Originally posted by Li Ka Shing:I also thought that definitely being a business owner is more exciting than sitting in front of the computer.

I guess now, I roughly understand the fundamentals of the mechanism of the stock market. Next question, do you know of any websites that teach one how to 'know' whether a company is good to invest in or not? Not by technical analysis.
Thanks a lot once again..

There are 2 ways to analyse a stock and forecast its trends. The most common is fundamental analysis while the other is known as technical analysis.Originally posted by dinky1409:Thanks a lot!

Each method has their pros and cons. Generally, both methods will agree with each other on the long term basis, however, they differ on a short term basis.
Islam forbids the investment of money into companies that engage in haram activities such as "gambling, alcohol, prostituition and vices". I dont think there are much companies listed on the SGX that deals in these activities as their core business.
I suggest that you purchase a copy of the business times everyday and read he articles in there. -
Hey hey everyone..
First how do one choose a company to invest in?
I saw in the Straits Times today the report for Singapore Press Holdings Limited. It says "performance for the second quarter ended FEB 28 2006". How come second quarter ended 28 feb? What does it mean? Sorry if some of you find this question stupid.. -
previously make some money in unit trust and has make a few k
from a return of 40%. since i had already sell off. And most of the fund are raising. I was asking whether it is still a good time to invest in since?
and also if the fund performance drop drastically, i suppose i still can hold untill it raise up again? My previous fund is my friend do for me, so did not ask much and blur blur got money -
Yea yea, if a fund/stock is falling down bad below my invested price, can I hold on to it if I have the confidence and trust that it would goes up again until above my invested price and not totally KO?Originally posted by davidtanwei:previously make some money in unit trust and has make a few k
