First Experience of Learning Stocks on the Indonesian Stock Exchange Representative of Riau Islands

In this economic condition full of uncertainty , there is one area that I am interested in learning, even though I have actually encountered this subject since college, but because I was not interested in it, the knowledge only entered my left ear and came out of my right ear, aka big ZERO. Now interestingly, the desire only arises when the economy is in a slump like now.. how come...?? hehe... do I see that there are benefits to be gained from the current economic conditions, especially for beginners in the stock world. If we look at the current stock prices, we can say that some blue chip stock prices are being heavily discounted from their normal prices. before the pandemic occurred. For example: The stock price of BBRI before the pandemic was around Rp. 4,150 and currently the price of BBRI's shares is Rp. 3100 per share, not to mention when the stock price was crashing on March 24, it reached a price of Rp. 2,440. touched at a price of Rp. 2,170 per share on May 15, 2020. You must be able to calculate the profit you can get if you buy the stock at this time and then sell it when the economy is back to normal. the more lots you invest, the more capital gains you will get, not to mention you can get dividends from the shares you buy, btw, this is a long-term investment, for trading, of course it's a different story. For trading, if there is a profit, please sell, after that, friends, please choose another stock, but of course with careful calculations and good technical and fundamental analysis, that's why we have to study harder so we don't lose in trading stocks. For other stocks, friends, you can see for yourself the price comparison before the pandemic and the current stock price. The advantages of investing in stocks that we do will get a return in the form of capital gainsand dividends . Capital Gain = the difference between the purchase price and the selling price of securities. Dividends = the distribution of profits from the company to shareholders. Well, long story short, a few months ago I attended a Capital Market School (SPM) held by the IDX representative office in Batam in collaboration with one of the securities companies in Indonesia, UOB Kya Hiyang . As a beginner in the stock world, I am certainly very unfamiliar with this one security company, finally out of curiosity I searched Google to find out more about this securities company. UOB Kay Hian Sekuritas (AI) was established with establishment certificate number 11 dated November 4, 1991 under the name PT UOBB Securities and started its commercial business activities in 1987. The head office of UOB Kay Hian Securities is located at UOB Plaza Thamrin Nine, Lt. 36 Jln. MH Thamrin Kav. 8 – 10 – Jakarta – Indonesia. The shareholders of PT UOB Kay Hian Securities (AI), among others: UOB Kay Hian Holdings Ltd (99.00%) and Yendi Likin Oey (1.00%). Information on its official website http://www.uobkayhian.com/ also shows that uobkayhian is one of the largest brokerage firms in Asia, headquartered in Singapore, supported by 80 branches from around the world, including a growing network of offices in throughout Southeast Asia, Greater China, Great Britain and North America. Knowing and recognizing the track record of your prospective securities company is very important, my friend, why..?? because this security company will later take care of opening your customer funds account (RDN) or stock account later. Btw this is only one of the securities companies, there are still many others who can be an option too, there are Mirae Asset Sekuritas, Mandiri Sekuritas, BNI Sekuritas, Indo Premier Sekuritas and many more, friends, please choose according to your own choices, yes. And not only that, this securities company will always provide you with updated information about current market conditions, stocks that have the potential to generate cash on that day. If there is a problem related to your customer's fund account, you can of course contact your securities company. Continue yes ... so I took this capital market class for only one day by paying a participant registration fee of Rp. 100,000, from the 100,000 fee it included lunch, modules, opening customer fund accounts and of course getting basic stock knowledge, that's what the most important is the "knowledge". When registering and opening a customer fund account, you need to prepare the following data: Attachment Copy of KTP, NPWP and Savings Book Cover. If you don't have a NPWP, you can fill out a statement that you don't have a NPW If the source of funds is from parents, it is mandatory to fill out the parents' job data form, attach a copy of the ID card, NPWP parents and family card.
