I have just been into equities for slightly over a year. I must say, there are quite a lot of reasons why you should not invest in stocks, Bursa Malaysia in particular. I have listed FIVE common reasons.
1. It is capital intensive.
Let's face it; you need money to invest in stocks. No money, no returns.
2. You will lose money.
There is no way out of this you WILL lose money.
3. It takes too much time.
"I can't just look at the screen all day"
"You can't expect me to look at the chart from 9 to 5!"
4. The market is going to collapse anytime soon. You should get your money out of stocks and invest somewhere else.
5. There are too many variables to predict the outcome. A counter can go up and down really fast within the same day.
Did I say common reasons?...No lah, these are common EXCUSES.
