Investment Journal : Day 0

My Investment Journal will be more about Stocks(Shares),
to share how to invest in stock market in Malaysia.


Pre Start
1) Study :
There is a fine line between Investment and Gambling, if you invest by instinct, you are gambling!
Study the rules, the basic knowledge, terms, trends are somehow important!
Eg : http://www.investopedia.com/ and Google should help.

2) Forum :
Forum is place for you to see "clearer picture" of investing, there are lots of "debate" and "tips sharing".
Read more and you will find it interesting!

I started to join a few forums and been actively joining their conversation.
Good news : Forumers are passionate to share.
Not so good news : There will be always good and dark sides. Try figure it out!

Notes : DO NOT blindly follows the tips given by forumers, investment = your own risk!

Forum that I joined : lowyat, http://www.investlah.com

3) Try it FREE! "you do, you understand"
There are a lots of webpages offer free personal portfolio.
(Means you can try to "buy" stocks without real money)
I am using http://biz.thestar.com.my/marketwatch/ .

At least shares that I did researched got capital gains but "gambling" shares lost.
(I not sure if it was coincidently) :)

"If you got little money, you should lead them to work together with you."
"If you got lots of money, you should let them bring more 'friend$' for you!"
