The 7 Best Stocks to Buy in Malaysia

When making portfolio equity decisions, consider concepts such as the industry in which the company operates and its associated risks, the company's future prospects and whether the company is a "growth stock," as well as paying close attention to the losses of Malaysian blue-chip companies.。

The best way to invest in stocks is to keep the following two categories in mind:

Company growth - usually companies with high yields but no high dividends or no dividends at all。Company value - doesn't usually grow rapidly but is willing to share most of net profit with shareholders。

In this context, we believe that portfolio diversification by including growth and value stocks is the best investment strategy。
