Through this Investment Challenge, we are able to learn how to calculate the buying and selling price of a company share, how to buy and sell company share, how to get the news about a company share!

However, to become a professional investor, there are more to learn, you have to analyze the industry, the company, the volume, movement of market oversea and so on!

And here are some basic knowledge for you to invest.

How to calculate BUYING price:

1 Lot = 100 unites

SOGOSG (Sogo Studio Group) Buying Price/Unit: RM1.040

Buying Lots: 50

Processing fees (Including Brokerage fees): 0.42%

The Buying Price (Before Processing Fees): 50 (Lots) x 100 (Units) x 1.040 = RM5200

Processing Fees: 5200 x 0.42% =RM21.84

The Actual Buying Price (Including Processing Fees): RM5200 + RM21.84 = RM5221.84

How to calculate SELLING price:

SOGOSG Selling Price/Unit: RM1.060

Selling Lots: 50

Processing fees (Including Brokerage fees): 0.42%

The Selling Price (Before Processing Fees): 50 (Lots) x 100 (Units) x 1.060 = RM5300

Processing Fees: 5300 x 0.42% =RM22.26

The Actual Selling Price (Including Processing Fees): RM5300 – RM22.26 = RM5277.74

So, if you buy SOGOSG (Sogo Studio Group) market share for 50 Lots at RM1.040/unit, and sell 50 Lots at RM1.060/unit, your earning will be

RM5277.74 – RM5221.84 = RM55.90

What you need to memorize are:

1 Lot = 100 Units Share

Processing Fees for Buying Online= 0.42%

It is very easy to calculate buying and selling price, you just need to do some exercise or practice, and knowing the processing fees!

In the future, you may visit OSK Investment Bank to buy the favorite company market shares with your own money which you think its value can increase in the future!

Good luck!
