    Definition of 'Sukuk'
    An Islamic financial certificate, similar to a bond in Western finance, that complies with Sharia, Islamic religious law. Because the traditional Western interest paying bond structure is not permissible, the issuer of a sukuk sells an investor group the certificate, who then rents it back to the issuer for a predetermined rental fee. The issuer also makes a contractual promise to buy back the bonds at a future date at par value.

Doing so allows you to develop a set of rules that says “if you apply this form of stimulation, you get that sort...

    Ben Graham, my friend and teacher, long ago described the mental attitude toward market fluctuations that I believe to be most conducive to investment success.

    He said that you should imagine market quotations as coming from a remarkably accommodating fellow named Mr. Market who is your partner in a private business. Without fail, Mr. Market appears daily and names a price at which he will either buy your interest or sell you his.

    Even though the business that the two of you own may have economic characteristics that are stable, Mr. Market's quotations will be anything but....

    When the price of an asset and an indicator, index or other related asset move in opposite directions. In technical analysis, traders make transaction decisions by identifying situations of divergence, where the price of a stock and a set of relevant indicators, such as the money flow index (MFI), are moving in opposite directions.

    When people use the term "day trading", they mean the act of buying and selling a stock within the same day. Day traders seek to make profits by Fading involves shorting stocks after rapid moves upwards. This is based on the assumption that (1) they are overbought, (2) early buyers are ready to begin taking profits and (3) existing buyers may be scared out. Although risky, this strategy can be extremely rewarding. Here the price target is when buyers begin stepping in again.Daily...

    Do a paper trade buy and sell according to situation. Put items like why i do this trade, why i Profit take....why i cut lost....notes to remember. then you can record what happen to the stock after you PT or CL. what you should do the next time.

    An old axiom warns investors not to "catch a falling safe", a reference to the fact that a falling stock is not always a bargain. For every solid company whose stock is experiencing a temporary downturn, another is punished by the market for very good reasons and may not recover. To "buy low and sell high" successfully, it makes sense to find undervalued stocks that are trading for less than they should. The trick for investors is separating a temporary stock pullback from a prolonged - and perhaps irreversible - downturn.

    Should we catch a falling knife in Bursa Malaysia Stock Market?
    My friend once told me, we should NOT catch a falling knife in stock market. What is a falling knife? A falling knife means the stock price is falling. If a catch a falling knife physically, our hand will be full of blood. If we buy a stock when the price is falling, it will be the same, full of blood or full of red or full or losses.

    Why? Because in stock market, more investors will tend to buy if the stock is on an uptrend and many will chase the stock. If the stock is on the way down, people will tends to sell and therefore, it will goes lower.

    Panic selling occurs when a stock price rapidly declines on high volume. This often happens when some event forces investors to re-evaluate the stock's retracements/turnaround that often occur afterwards. The exhausted selling model explained here provides a safe and effective method to determine where the best entry point is, and the ESM's use of multiple indicators can help you avoid costly mistakes.

    Panic selling occurs when a stock price rapidly declines on high volume. This often happens when some event forces investors to re-evaluate the stock's intrinsic value, or when short-term traders are able to force the stock price down far enough to trigger long-term stop-losses. The entire process creates a tremendous opportunity for bottom-fishers to initiate long positions, especially if the event behind the panic selling was non-material or speculative in nature (such as a SEC investigation or an analyst opinion). Here, we shed light on the panic-selling process and introduce a model that can...
