SC makes stock recommendation |
| |
I am new to investing, can the SC recommend which stocks to buy with RM10,000?
Sorry, no stock tips here. As the regulator of the capital market, the Securities Commission (SC) cannot give any stock market tips, advice or recommendations. But the SC can provide guidance through education to help new investors make informed investment decision.

Where to buy shares |
| |
I would like to invest in shares. Should I go directly to Bursa Malaysia to buy the shares?
You cannot buy shares directly from Bursa Malaysia. To trade shares, you must go through a licensed stockbroking company. At the stockbroking company, you will have to relay your order (request to buy or sell shares) through a licensed dealer representative or remisier, who will key-in your order into the system. You will need to open a CDS (Central Depository System) and trading account before you can start investing.
