Regulated Short Selling

[chenchow]

As many of you who have been following the market would have known, Regulated Short Selling would be introduced from 3rd January 2006 onwards. This would be a significant milestone for our country, in terms of product availability in Finance sector.

What do fellow ReComers think of this initiative?

Hey chenchow. Regarding the topic, can I play with stock markets even when I am just 16. I thought you must be above some age before entering it?

capablanca, I would think that you would need to be at least 18 or 21 (I am not too sure which is the age lilmit) to register a CDS account.

On another account, I would say that we should not treat stock market as something to "play" with.

I would look at stock market as two aspects:-
a) Invest - For those fundamental investors, who would look at the value of the stock and look for long-term substantial gain.

b) Trade - For non-fundamental traders, who would look at make fast and quick gain through stock market.
