If we are willing to invest thousands of ringgit on hobbies like motorcycles, golf, or anime figurines, why not consider stocks as an alternative to expensive hobbies? It is not only enjoyable, but it can also provide returns if you view it as a potentially rewarding investment alternative to costly hobbies.
To begin the story, last Wednesday and Thursday, two consecutive days, I held personal coaching sessions with my clients. They appeared interested in stocks as an alternative to expensive hobbies, a way to replace pastimes that may be too financially burdensome.
A married couple from Semenyih came to see me in Melaka on Wednesday. They had wanted to meet me for the past two weeks, but at that time, the stock market had experienced a downturn. So, I asked them to wait first, considering the market was not performing well, even though the best time to learn is actually when the market falls.
This is because the market is actually undergoing a correction during this period, and we can buy stocks at the right time when the market rebounds. Many people do not look for good stocks to buy; instead, they sell their existing holdings. Stocks as an alternative to expensive hobbies can be a wise choice during periods like this.
Every person will have their own reasons for getting into stocks or seeking additional income. As the story goes, the wife told me that both of them are workaholics. They used to work together but now work at different places.
Getting into stocks, she said, could be something else to focus on that is not as burdensome. Because work can sometimes be overwhelming, and in the end, it is the boss who profits. As for the husband, he said he has expensive hobbies. Coincidentally, his phone is the same as mine, and the price is quite steep.
Additionally, both of them really wanted to meet me in person because it is hard to trust people. So meeting face-to-face allows them to ask questions clearly. I could also ask them directly what they wanted to know. Choosing stocks as an alternative to expensive hobbies as a conversation topic also helped break the ice in our discussion.
In both the Wednesday and Thursday sessions, I talked about how to apply for IPOs, how to use the shark indicator, what step-by-step process clients need to follow, for which I have already prepared learning modules.
When Thursday came, I met with an uncle. He is around the same age as my parents, and he asked me to call him uncle.
He shared that he had previously learnt from other stock gurus. Not to say they were not good, but sometimes we get easily distracted by the various techniques available and we become confused.
Sometimes when learning online, it is difficult to ask detailed questions because there are many people in the room. The challenge for me is that when clients have already learnt various techniques, it is harder for me to fine-tune with the techniques I teach.
At the end of the session, my clients understood clearly that at Mahersaham, there is a specialised screener that I have prepared for my clients to find stock counters easily. I told them which screener to use, how to use it, how to read charts, and I even showed them all the indicators that have been integrated into the chart that clients can access.
All those indicators are indeed what I teach and what are essential. So, clients can view everything in the chart. Free screener access is sufficient for beginners. However, if you want more advanced features, there are additional features that require purchase and subscription to access the screener.
I also taught money management, when to take profit, and how much capital to allocate. I covered all of this with them in a one-on-one setting. If you are interested in learning more about stocks or want a one-on-one session with me, feel free to reach out.
"Is this really Maher Saham?" That was the question asked by a mechanic from Senawang before he agreed to do a personal coaching session with me. He even requested a video call to make sure I was not a scammer.
In the personal coaching session, I help clients identify past mistakes, understand their trading personality, and prescribe suitable strategies including using the screener and the 11-element, 29-criteria analysis system to filter worthy stocks.
Yes, stock investing can become a fulfilling activity that replaces expensive hobbies. Instead of spending thousands on costly pastimes, you channel that money into the stock market where it has the potential to generate returns. It is both intellectually stimulating and financially rewarding.
A personal coaching session is a face-to-face meeting with Tuan Maher Ilham where you learn investment strategies tailored to your personality, time commitment, and capital on a personal basis.
You can start investing in stocks with capital as low as RM100. What matters is that you understand the basics of investing and have a proper strategy before you begin.
