Clearing and SettlementSecurities Clearing Automated Network Service

done to the brokerage firm who failed to pay the purchase price on the third (3) trading day of the contract date.

Basic Types of TransactionsLong Purchase

a transaction (on a cash basis) in which investors buy securities in the hope that they will increase in value and can be sold at a later date for profit

E.g.: Maybank currently sell at RM11.00 per share, and will expect to be increased in value over the next few years. On your analysis, you expect the stock price to rise to RM20 per share. You place an order and buy 100 shares of Maybank for RM11 per share. If the share price rises to, say RM20 per share, you will get profit from your long purchase. If it drops below RM11 per share, you will experience a loss on the transactions.

Margin Tradingis where borrowed funds were used partly to buy

sharesE.g.: Anita wishes to buy the shares of TNB, which is

currently selling for RM9 per share. Assuming the margin requirement is 60%, thus Anita has to put up:

Equity contribution 60% x RM 9 x 1,000 shares = RM 5,400Borrowed fund 40% x RM 9 x 1,000 shares = RM 3,600

RM 9,000

Contra Transactionthe buyer paid the broker or the broker paid the buyer

on the different price between buying and selling price.

Short SellingFirst, you sell and then you buy the shares. A

short sale allows investors to profit from a decline in a security’s price

Eg: Suppose you are bearish (pessimistic) on TNB stock, and its market price is RM10 per share. You tell your broker to sell short 1,000 shares. The broker borrows 1,000 shares either from another customer account’s or from another broker. The RM 10,000 cash proceeds from the short sale are credited to your account
