Before you invest something, please make it clear what investor is and what trader is. Honest speaking, I get quite confuse what the exact meaning of it in the past. Many people call themselves investor but yet they are trader and vise versa.
Investor VS Trader
eDividend Payment From Listed Company
Start from 1 September 2010, shareholders 
can receive dividend from Public Listed Company (PLCs) through their bank account. This is what called edividend. In the past, shareholders receive dividend from Public Listed Company by cheque, which cause many problems like delay in delivering and lost in delivering.
REIT VS Property
In past, most investors like to invest in property as part of their portfolio. Investor invest property for two things, value appreciation and rental income. Today as investing vehicle is getting more and more, investor can consider about Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). Investor invest in REIT for two things also, value appreciation and dividend income. Isn’t that quite alike as property investment? Let us do some comparison about property investing and REIT investing.

There is improvement of 0.05 sen compare to 6.25 sen per unit in 2009. ASM actually can pay 7.30 sen to shareholders but they had retain 1.00 sen for future investing purpose.

Stock Investment Rules
I started my first investment since September 2009. The first stock I bought is Gpacket 0082. I made roughly 70% of profit from it in 3 months time. Undeniable, it is just lucky. I knew nothing about fundamental or technical. What I saw was just future of Wimax and read some news about it. Now, I refresh back, it was full of risks! I might loss all if the luck was not on my side. Therefore, I have set a few rules for myself in stock investment.
