My understanding is simplistic.
Margin = Leverage. Leverage = win more, also lose more. No need argue which is best. Margin is a financial tool, risky but if you are skilled, go ahead. I must declare I am not a user of margin financing.

KC should chill out when trolled. Perhaps you may not understand what is a troll.
"In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion,[3] often for their own amusement."

Keep up the good posts, kcchongz.

A GOOD STOCK MAY SUBJECT TO FORCE SELL....AND AGAIN TAKE SOME TIME FOR IT TO RECOVER MAH...!!
JUST LIKE CIMB....IT USE TO BE AROUND RM 8.00....BUT IT WAS SELLDOWN TO RM 4.00....AND NOW HAD RECOVERED SLIGHTLY LOH....!!
SOME IMAGINE U R A CASH HOLDER OF CIMB....HOLDING COST OF RM 8.00..NOW AT RM 4.70....U WILL MAKE A SUBSTANTIAL LOSS OF MORE THAN 50% LOH..!!
BUT MARGIN HOLDERS....THE SELL TRIGGER WILL ALERT THEM TO SELL WHEN IT IS RM 7.00 TO RM 6.00 MAH....!!

A cash holder of CIMB, using his own money of RM100000 to buy CIMB at RM8.00, would have lost only RM33000 at the present price of RM4.80, even if he is still holding the shares. The loss is 41%, and not your “U WILL MAKE A SUBSTANTIAL LOSS OF MORE THAN 50% LOH..!!”
For simplicity sake, let us look at a simple case.
IN ANYCASE THE MARGIN HOLDER WILL BE LONG GONE AT 7.00 TO 6.00....B4 IT REACH RM 4.00 MAH.....!!
THIS INDICATE MARGIN HOLDER WILL LIKELY TO LOSE LESS LOH...!!

You advised a newbie to invest in CIMB shares “using margin to the limit”. You asked him to invest RM200000, RM100000 is his own money and the other RM100000 from margin finance, because the interest rate was so cheap, and it is stupid not to use margin finance to make more money to buy a good share like CIMB, plenty of margin of safety mah!
AGAIN RAIDER WILL LIKE TO EMPHASIS IF A CASH HOLDER PUT RM 1OOK CASH ON CIMB.....AND HOLD UNTIL SAY RM 4.70....HE LOSSES AT RM 41K WILL NOT BE NOT LESS THAN THE MARGIN HOLDER WHO PUT RM 200K AT RM 8.00 AND LARI KUAT KUAT AT RM 6.50....A LOSS OF RM 37.5K LOH...!!
BUT UNLIKE THE CASH PURCHASER....THE MARGIN HOLDERS NOW IS IN A SIGNIFICANT CASH & FUNDING POSITION TO MAKE PURCHASES IF HE CHOSE TO MAH....!!
THIS SIGNFICANT MARGIN LINE.....ALLOW HIM TO TURNAROUND WHEN THE SHARE UPTURN. THE CASH PURCHASER WILL HAVE LESS FLEXIBILITY LOH..!!

Then the poor fellow encountered force selling at RM6.00, or 25% drop of the share price.(FORCE SALE WILL BE DONE NORMALLY AT RM 7.00 TO 6.00 THUS RAIDER TAKE RM 6,50). He has now incurred a total loss of RM500000 because of the margins, THE LOSSES FROM THE FORCE SALE IS RM 37.5K LOH...!! ABOUT 19% LOSSES MAH..!!.

Nevertheless, the margin user seems to be happier, according to you, because his shares have been forced sold at RM6.00(RAIDER SAY RM 6.50), and now he has “build up his capital” of RM50000, although he has made an exaggerated loss of RM50000(RAIDER SAY RM 37.5K) already.

Now you advise him to buy CIMB at RM4.80, a much lower price than his forced sold price, and that CIMB is such a good company.
HE HAS THE OPTION NOW TO BUY LOH....!!
JUST LIKE MAYBANK...IN 1998-1999...IS FORCE SALEDOWN TO ABOUT RM 2.50 MAH....!!

Questions:
1) Are you advising him to buy using his own money of RM50000(37.5K), or “use margin to the limit” again by using another margin finance of RM50000 (RM 37.5K)?
YES...HIS GIVEN AN OPTION OF 2ND CHANCE TO RECOVER....VERY FEW PEOPLE GOT THIS TYPE OF OPPORTUNITY LOH..!!

2) If the earlier option, he has lost RM50000 (RM 37,5K), or 50% of his own capital, he needs to make 100% to recover. How long do you think he has to wait, just to recover his loss?
RAIDER SAYS ASSUME THE CASH HOLDER WITH RM 100K CASH AND MARGIN HOLDER CAPITAL CASH RM 100K...BOTH LOSS SAY RM 40K...WOULD IT NOT BOTH HARD PRESS TO RECOVER ITS CAPITAL LEH ??
LOSING MONIES IS NOT DUE TO MARGIN OR CASH INVESTMENT....BOTH RUN INTO UNFORTUNATE BAD LUCK MAH....!!

3) If the option is the later, what would happen if CIMB drops another 30%? AGAIN RAIDER SAYS THE MARGIN HOLDERS HAS THE OPTION TO USE...HIS BUYING POWER LOH...!!
TO BUY AND NOT TO BUY IS AT HIS OPTION LOH....!! IF CHOSE TO BUY THE SAME LEVEL OF CIMB SHARE AS THE CASH HOLDER....HIS LOSSES WILL NOT BE MORE THAN THE CASH HOLDER....SHOULD THEY HAVE THE UNFORTUNATE CONDITION OF LOSING ANOTHER 30% LOH...!!

4) Or you think the scenario is (3) above won’t happen? Why are you so sure? OF COURSE THE ABOVE SCENARIO...DO HAPPEN....BUT THIS LOSSES IS APPLICABLE TO BOTH THE CASH HOLDER AND MARGIN HOLDER MAH...!!

YOUR ARGUEMENT & SCENARIO...IS LIKE PUTTING UP A CASE OF NOT INVESTING INTO EQUITY LOH....!!

IT IS NOT...LIKE SHOULD INVEST IN EQUITY....BUT USE CASH BUT DON USE MARGIN MAH....!!
BCOS THE CASH HOLDERS SUFFER ALMOST THE SAME LOSSES OF MARGIN HOLDERS LOH...!!

Have you seen a couple of stocks in the portfolio posted here, a genuine portfolio, and not randomly selected stocks to fail margin finance, have lost more than 50% in just three months, even when the overall market went up?
RAIDER ALSO SEE CASH HOLDERS LOSING 100% OF THEIR EQUITY TOO LOH...!!
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MARGIN HOLDERS ONLY....IT IS THIS PEOPLE ARE NOT CUT OUT TO INVEST IN THE 1ST PLACE LOH...!!

5) If (3) above happen, what would be your advice again? And why?

Its obvious that leverage magnifies the losses. I dont know how people can argue that margin call is a good thing.

Simple terms, if you leverage up to 2x, it takes a loss of 10% on the actual share price to make you lose 20%. If you use cash, you only lose 20% when the share price drops 20%.

Also what makes you think cutting loss is a good strategy ? It is only a good strategy if share price continues to drop after your margin call triggered. What if after margin call triggered, the share price goes up instead of down, you would have lost the opportunity to enjoy the gains vs a cash investor who had the holding power.

stockraider,

you are a good man

finally you have made it clear that not every man can use margin finaning to invest.

One must learns how to crawl first before run, be bottle fed first before eating with spoon .

so this statement "IF U R NOT COMPETENT U SHOULD NOT INVEST AT ALL LOH....!! needs improvement , if not some baby may be very disappointed , never have a chance to grow strong and run fast like you

I am also glad that you recommend Ah Kau to join KC online course, that is right, if not , how can he know what is MOF

so , now I see , you are actually sharing something good.

but I still like to remind you that the good value of your sharing is overshadowed by all the cut and paste that i suggest you should try your best to do away. What's a waste if your heavenly wisdom is not allowed to exhibit but hidden in the shade. try it out,without cut and paste, there is nothing to lose, I am sure you will find thereafter your wisdom will shine brighter and you will come back telling me in reality it is true, MAN PLANS but GOD DECIDES.

GOOD LUCK and never never forget or ignore the role of LUCK in your investment which is indispensable especially in your margin financing to get rich fast

After u learn....try investing...using cash 1st....!!
Then check & monitor how successful loh.....!!

If consistent successful.....!!
Then u can be more confident.....!!

Maybe if u want ....U may try out margin loh....!!
Again start with a small amount & slowly build up...!!

U increase your margin....only when your equity increase due to increase retained profit loh....!!

I think most important...is to avoid being killed due to volatility.

(1) That has to be done via significant diversification...and perhaps stocks which are really close to negative EV and high MOS.

(2) Never use the Margin to the limit (have MOS here also)...so that you can dampen the damaging effects of volatility - avoiding losing your Capital significantly.

Hmm...i certainly need years to identify good stocks in such a 'convincing' manner......
