PERLAKUAN PASARAN SAHAM HUBUNGKAIT ANTARA BERITA DAN AKTIVITI PASARAN


Nota Ringkas


Ada banyak yang masih perlu difahami oleh pelabur.

a) Pasaran menggambarkan berita yang AKAN berlaku dan bukannya yang TELAH berlaku walaupun berita boleh datang dengan MENGEJUT sekalipun. Penganalis yang bijak akan melihat kepada 'apa kesan berita berkenaan terhadap pasaran SELEPAS ianya diproses'?

b) Kadangkala pasaran memberikan tindakbalas terhadap data atau berita. Ada juga berita dan data bertindakbalas berdasarkan pasaran.

Yang mana datang terlebih dahulu? Saya ingin menjelaskan mengenai korelasi antara semua jenis data dan peristiwa yang berlaku selepas langkah-langkah penting diambil oleh pasaran.

Contohnya peperangan, ramai yang menyangka bahawa pasaran akan menjadi teruk atau jatuh. Ini hanyalah reaksi psikologi bagi mereka yang tidak tahu bagaimana pasaran memproses maklumat berkenaan. 

Dan keadaan ini diburukkan lagi apabila manusia menyangka mereka akan kehilangan kerja, keluarga, pendapatan, jatuh miskin terutamanya jika mendengar pelabur sendiri yang mengeluarkan kenyataan berkenaan.

Samalah juga serangan 11 September, jika dilihat ketika itu, kepanikan banyak berlaku tetapi ke mana perginya rasa panik berkenaan masakini? Lihat dulu bagaimana pasaran memberikan reaksi kemudiannya. Sememang dijangkakan, ramai yang menyangka ekonomi dunia akan jadi parah walhal ketika itu, semua data-data telah ada 'backupnya' dan masih beroperasi seperti biasa sehingga kini?

Kita juga pernah mendengar terdapat gempabumi atau tsunami di Jepun, ada kepanikan berlaku. 

Cuba lihat pasaran ketika itu, adakah ianya memberikan reaksi yang teruk? 

Jawapannya 'TIDAK'. 

Ianya mungkin memberikan kesan sementara kepada sekitarnya (ASEAN) kecuali tempat berlakunya bencana alam berkenaan (Jepun) 

Namun, fenomena ini juga membuka peluang kepada pelabur-pelabur berskala besar untuk membeli saham-saham yang dijual murah disebabkan 'selling pressure'. Akhirnya, apabila pasaran kembali pulih, tiba-tiba saham yang dibeli murah itu naik berkali ganda.

Apa yang penting ialah bagaimana pasaran mengendali dan memproses maklumat berkenaan. 

Kata Kunci di sini (dalam konteks pasaran saham) ialah 'Jangan Panik' kerana 'panik' boleh membuka jalan kepada spekulator.

Pada tahun 2001, ketika itu pasaran sedang riuh kerana kejatuhan saham dotcom. 

Pada tahun 2003, US telah menyerang Iraq. Semasa itu, pasaran saham di US jatuh hampir 50%.

Percayakah anda : 

Pasaran 'bear' menyebabkan kejatuhan dalam kadar kelahiran.

Kita lihat, ramai yang masih memberikan reaksi psikologi yang negatif dan menyangka kejatuhan dalam pasaran saham akan menyebabkan mereka akan hilang kuasa kewangan - jadi mereka perlu merancang keluarga mereka?

Namun, pasaran 'bull' pula menaikkan pula kadar kelahiran. Pelik tapi benar. 

Kerana pasaran yang digambarkan sebagai 'bullish' akan meningkatkan lagi jangkaan pelabur bahawa mereka akan membuat untung.

Suasana ini berlaku di US dan kini 'berjangkit' ke serata dunia.

Ini menyebabkan ramai yang melihat apa yang berlaku sebelumnya dan bukan apa yang sedang berlaku. Setiap kali ada berita kejatuhan dunia sebelum ini, pasaran telah mengambil segala langkah untuk memastikan jika ianya berlaku sekali lagi, pasaran dapat memproses maklumat itu dengan lebih matang dan mencari 'kusyen' untuk 'jatuh'.

Jadi kadangkala kita tidak boleh terlalu bergantung kepada kisah lama seperti 'Great Depression' dan 'Big Bubble'.

Tahun 2008 menyaksikan banyak sektor korporat telah mendapat kesan hasil daripada krisis kewangan. Malah ramai 'peramal-peramal' menyatakan, akan berlaku kemelesetan yang teruk. Pemimpin peringkat negara, masyarakat, dunia dsb. pula menganggap 'politik' tidak membantu. Akhirnya apa yang disebut berlaku kemelesetan, tidak berlaku sehingga kini.

Saya bertanya sahabat di U.S., sekiranya 'trading' adalah 1,050, S & P 500 jatuh 16.1%, adakah ini bermakna akan berlaku 'double dip recession'? 

Benar, index mungkin jatuh tetapi trend menunjukkan ianya akan bertahan pada satu tahap dan akhirnya naik kembali pada masa-masa yang akan datang.

Kesimpulannya, pasaranlah yang mencetuskan suasana ekonomi masa hadapan dan bukannya berita (atau khabar) semata-mata.

Lain kali, jika ada pergerakan pasaran saham ke suatu arah tertentu, jangan bertanya "apa yang telah berlaku yang menyebabkan pergerakan berkenaan?" tetapi tanyalah "apa gambaran yang cuba dilakukan oleh pasaran mengenai 'apa yang akan berlaku?' supaya kita boleh mengambil langkah berjaga-jaga.

Jangkapanjang sebenarnya lebih baik dari Jangkapendek.

QUICKEY



Greetings. 

To those who might want to know more about the Share Investment Centre (Maybank Investment), please visit http://www.maybank2u.com.my

What interest me is the HOT Broking Programme introduced by Maybank Investment for newbie (bumiputera especially) but potential investors to be part of the retail market by investing into selected syariah counters.

But before investors decide to invest, they must first get the Yellow Form or Acknowledgement of Receipt from Ministry of Trade and Industry (MITI) and definitely there are rules to be followed for both category - individual or company (in most cases Private Limited - Sdn. Bhd.)

I do 'hear' few proposals as well but I do not know how true they are : 

a) To open up eligibility of Bumiputera to invest also for enterprise/partnership entities as well. (I notice in one IPO notice from Maybank Investment indicating 'enterprise entities' are eligible but MITI; I think clearly mentioned that it is for "Sdn. Bhd." )

If this is true (that enterprise/sole prop can apply for Bumi shares) then it is a good thing to do but there may be additional requirements to ensure that 'enterprise' (sole prop) entities have audited accounts (which is the same in the partnership - pursuant to Partnership act - but any act never mention a sole prop should also have audited accounts. The problem is because some of their clients require the supplier to have audited accounts but the supplier is only an enterprise entity which by law do not require audited accounts - perhaps an income statement )

b) Liberalization of retail market (syariah counters) branching out to Singapore, Brunei and Indonesia.

Alas, this is only my personal opinion - nothing to do with ROS/SSM, Maybank or MITI. Please contact the right authorities for further information.
