Buying and Selling Shares

This activity has been on the rise, particularly since the Movement Control Order (MCO) was implemented in early 2020.

However, many people still do not know how to trade in the stock market.

So I felt compelled to explain in greater detail for all of you.

For those who do not yet have a CDS account, you can register here.
