Finally, after a few weeks of maintainance, I was able to login although it took me quite an effort.

On Thursday, I just recieved my first individual assignment for this semester in investment. It is a very simple task to do since it require us to buy/sell any shares assuming the capital we had is  RM 50 ,000  and we need not ot worry if we lost money! But, the only thing that makes me headache is which to buy since there are so many shares out there.

That all for now…
