KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 (Bernama) -- Bursa Malaysia’s benchmark index edged higher at the close as bargain hunting emerged following Monday’s sharp sell-off, although it narrowly failed to reclaim the 1,600 level, said an analyst. At 5 pm, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) gained 3.83 points, or 0.24 per cent, to 1,599.58 from Monday’s close of 1,595.75. The index opened 3.18 points lower at 1,592.57, marking its intraday low, and reached an intraday high of 1,602.83 in early trading. On the broader market, decliners outnumbered gainers 751 to 331, while 499 counters were unchanged, 1,259 untraded and 10 suspended. Turnover rose to 2.86 billion units worth RM2.42 billion against Monday’s 2.49 billion units worth RM2.38 billion.
1M by 28 , is it possible? After doing some thinking for days, I come to this 1M figure. Some might be asking "Why not 100K?" , or "Why not 1B?", or "Why not other figure?". Well 100K will be quite easy to achieve, while 1B will be too difficult and I was too lazy to come out with other figures. To be honest, 1M is not easy nor difficult. This is because as a salary drawing person , our net worth will not grow exponentially . In order to have our net worth growing exponentially, we will have to invest. My plan of course is to invest a big chunk of my money to stocks, so that I can earn from dividend, and also from the price appreciation. Money working for us definitely easier than we work for money. I'm 25 this year and so it means I have 3 years to achieve this and 3 years equivalent to 36 months or 156 weeks or 26280 hours. It also means that for each hour I need to earn at least RM39 to achieve this goal. Too bad I do not have much capital in hand...
