Hahaha! Thanks Pirate99 and JTFX :) But seriously, I really need your help, guys. I plan to buy something with low price but good potential to move up within this week. Any ideas? Actually, I am doing some surveys but still haven't decided yet.

don't simply put your money in stock market without done a home work..
track the share price at least 1 month for understand it trend.
check the announcement and financial report. Study either that company is good fundamental or not.
and read about current global economic issue that can influence the market direction.
lastly when u confident enough than u start to buy share..

no body can help u unless ur self,.. friends here only give their opinion and comment but u must filtered first it before u act..
most of us here also don't know which share will be 'goreng' and which share will push down..

Hold on.
Read the following books before plunging in:
1. The Guru investors
2. How to make money in stocks(first 1/4)
If you are an insomniac, read the intelligent investor.
Form your own methods using common sense.
You will do well.

Welcome. May i suggest you ask yourself some very important questions before you begin. Don't reply immediately. They require some deep thoughtful answers

1. Why am I looking to invest (inflation hedge, excitement, friendship etc)
2. What am I looking to get out of investing (passive income, capital gain)
3. What is my investment time horizon (10 minutes, 1 week, 1 year, 10 years)
4. How much money do I have to invest (very important, as this is the amount you must be prepared to lose)
5. How much work/time do I want to put into this. Do I have a someone to help me
6. How many courses do I want to attend to gain knowledge
7. How many books have I read, how confident do I feel

Question number 4 : Erm..we need to do lots of homework before we invest in a stock and I don't think of losing my money so I don't agree with the thinking of "I'm prepare to lose". It's better to change to this is the amount I prepare to invest for some time and during the period I'm not allowed to spend that money , this is how we gain the holding power and the most important thing in stock investment :) Just sharing.
