3 Simple Ways to use the Bursa Malaysia website

Hi, I’m Ian.
I run Bursaking.com.my on a full-time basis. To name a few, my work involves:
  • Uploading of a stock’s actual financial data
  • Extraction of information that impacts a stock’s financial results in the future.
  • Publication of case studies on real life stocks.

Where do I source for these information?
The answer is bursamalaysia.com, the official website of Bursa Malaysia. It is a website that I visit on a daily basis as bursamalaysia.com contains a wealth of official documents and information which are useful to help investors make better decisions when investing in the local stock market.
If you are reading this, you may find the website overwhelming on first glance. This is especially true if you are a new investor or are new to the website. Perhaps, you may ask:
  • What should I click first?
  • How to find information that I need?
  • How to keep myself abreast of the latest news of my stock investment?

In this article, I’ll share with you three simple ways to use bursamalaysia.com so that you can quickly maximize the features available on the website. They include:


#1: Check Stock Prices
Bursa Malaysia is responsible of ensuring that stock prices and its related information are disseminated efficiently. Timely information is necessary to ensure trading activities are conducted fairly and orderly. There are several ways to check a stock’s current price. The fastest way is to type in the name of the intended stock at the ‘Get Quote’ box and click ‘Go’ as highlighted below:

‘

#2: Check Financial Results
Public listed companies (stocks) are required to file in their financial results to Bursa Malaysia. They are reported in two types of documents. The first is known as ‘Annual Reports’ as they contain a stock’s financial results over a period of 12 months. The second is known as ‘Quarterly Reports’ as they contain a stock’s financial results over a period of 3 months. To retrieve them, just the steps shown below:

Step 1: Click Listed Companies

Step 2: Click Company Announcement

Step 3: Find Financial Information of a stock
You may follow the following:  
  • Click ‘Select Company’ and choose the intended stock.
  • To find its annual reports, click ‘Select Category’ and choose ‘Annual Reports’. Then, click ‘Submit’.
  • To find its quarter reports, click ‘Select Category’ and choose ‘Quarter Reports’. Then, click ‘Submit’.


#3: How about IPOs?
Initial Public Offering (IPO) offers investors an opportunity to buy shares of a new public listed company. Before investing, it is important to check the following:
  • What businesses or industries a stock is involved into?
  • What is the stock’s purpose for raising capital from IPO?
  • How does the stock intend to grow its businesses in the future?
  • What is my projected returns for investing in the stock’s IPO?

Thus, you need the stock’s IPO prospectus. It is a comprehensive document that tells you almost everything you need to know about the stock before investing into it. To retrieve this document, you may click ‘Listed Companies’ and proceed immediately to clicking onto ‘Prospectus’. From which, you may scroll down and explore the latest IPO documents available.

成交量基础知识 K线图中的成交量

Image
　什么是成交量呢？顾名思义，成交量是成交的数额。本文讲述的是成交量基础知识，K线图中的成交量。因为在股市中，如果想完成一笔交易，必须要同时有买方和卖方，这和生活中的买卖交易是一个道理。如果仅仅有买方或者卖方，是不可能完成交易的。 　　一只股票在一定周期内的成交数量，被称为成交量。而这个单位时间可以是一周、一个月、一年等。目前，计算成交量采用单边方式，也就是说，如果买方买入3000股股票，那么卖出方也必然要卖出3000股同一股票才能成交，计算得到成交量的数值为3000，而不是买卖双方的总和6000。 　　在股票分析软件中，K线图下方的柱状线便是成交量，而且柱状线代表的成交量与K线周期是一致的。 　　如图所示为生意宝周K线图，图中上半部分是K线图，在每只K线对应的下方，都有一个柱状线出现，这个柱状线便是成交量。因为K线图的时间周期是周，也就是说每根K线代表的是一个交易周的时间，因此与之对应的成交量就代表着该交易周内的成交盘。 　　如图所示为国际医学60分钟K线图。该图中的时间周期为60分钟，因此每一根柱状线代表的成交量就是60分钟内的成交量。 　　如图所示为实达集团日K线图，这里反映的是一个交易日内的成交量。不同时间周期的成交量，对不同类型的投资者有着不同的作用。例如短线交易者常常分析日K线图，因此一般多关注日K线图中的成交量与60分钟K线图中的成交盘。而中长线交易者一般会侧重分析日K线图中的成交量与周K线图中的成交量，一般60分钟等时间段较小的成交量并不关注。 　　在K线图中，成交量与股价的上涨与下跌有着一定的关系。如果股价是处于上涨趋势，则成交量表示为红色;如果股价处于下跌趋势，则成交量为绿色。 　　如图所示为山煤国际周K线图。从图中可以看到，股价在上涨和下跌的过程当中，成交量的颜色也是不同的。而且成交盘的颜色变化与K线的颜色是一致的，股价在上涨中的成交量颜色与阳K线颜色一致，股价在下跌中的成交量颜色与阴K线的颜色一致。更多关于成交量与股价的知识可以阅读： 成交量和股价的关系有哪些 。 http://www.yingjia360.com/cjl/2015-10-26/23411.html

Accrual Accounting

What is 'Accrual Accounting' Accrual accounting is an accounting method that measures the performance and position of a company by recognizing economic events regardless of when cash transactions occur. The general idea is that economic events are recognized by matching revenues to expenses (the matching principle) at the time in which the transaction occurs rather than when payment is made (or received). This method allows the current cash inflows/outflows to be combined with future expected cash inflows/outflows to give a more accurate picture of a company's current financial condition. BREAKING DOWN 'Accrual Accounting' Accrual accounting is considered to be the standard accounting practice for most companies, with the exception of very small businesses. This method provides a more accurate picture of the company's current condition, but its relative complexity makes it more expensive to implement. The need for this method arose out of the increasin...

No change in OPR

PETALING JAYA: Bank Negara has kept the overnight policy rate (OPR) unchanged at its policy meeting, a day after the country held its 14th general election. In a statement yesterday, the central bank said that the prospects of economic growth remained strong, driven by the strength in both domestic and external demand. “The domestic economic outlook remains positive, the financial sector is strong and monetary and financial conditions are supportive of economic growth in the post-election environment,” it said. According to Bank Negara’s projections, Malaysia’s gross domestic product (GDP) will grow between 5.5% and 6% in 2018. The central bank expects private domestic demand to remain the anchor of growth.
