shud i enter the big bad world of stox trading??? PPL shares

this thread is targetted more towards pakistani guppies coz i dono if non-resident pakis are allowed to purchase PPL shares coz the form i have says its only for pak residents but maybe non res have a diff form

not sure

khayrrrrrrrr

the thing is

every single person i know is buying PPL shares [pakistan petroleum limited]

basically u r getting 500 shares for 27,500

its an IPO

theres going to be a Qurandaazi abt who gets the shares and then if u get them then u can sell them and u will ATLEAST make a 100% profit…so instant 25,000 ka faida

this is what everyone is saying, at office, relatives, everyone

ive never dealt in stox b4 but my friends n relatives were telling me i shud do it lekin i am scared of all this stox stuff, khamakha ka syapa, aik nai sardardi…as if life isnt complicated enuf already :Pretty: [alhamdulillah]

abb im thinking if i shud go for it or not???

apparently recently OGDC shares were in a similar position and then Sui Southern too and Al Falah n ppl made a lot of money thru that

so im wondering now if i shud buy these PPL shares too and enter the big bad world of stock trading? :konfused:

becareful

^

thx
hmmm...it seems to be a straightfwd process,,,which thingz exactly shud i be careful abt?

About every thing! if it was that easy to make money out of stocks every body would be trading from the luxury of their homes.... I have been trading since 1990s.... Just becareful....

hmm k, thanks 4 the heads-up

Do it, irem. PPL is as safe an investment as a house :k:

Quraandazi may or may not happen (its called balloting in angrezi :D)…this will depend if the number of applications received is more than 204,000 applications. By the looks of it, the issue will sell like hot cakes..since every one i know…even chai wallahs, pan wallahs are putting money in it.

Go for it i say… :slight_smile:

meray dost to jaibaan jhaar jhaar kar paisay daal rahe hain. :slight_smile:

omg khan bhai r u serious? :eek:

i had almost given up the idea :confused: dang

now i shud rethink…22nd last date hay na

hmmmmm…

plz tell me k…how long exactly will it take for the money to double??? i mean will we have to wait for a whole yr? 6 months?

btw khan bhai do u deal in stox? did u buy ogdc/ss/al falah shares?

my maamoon gave me a crash course on stock trading yesterday on the fone and pumped me up to get these PPL shares even more

lekin my concern is k paisay kitnay dino tak phans jayein ge is mein? koi rough idea abt the timeline regarding these shares?

Just remember, these companies used RIBA as an intrument to manage working capital. You will go to hell if you get involved Have fun tho. :wave:

:hehe: Good One!

:wave: Thanks for the heads up :wave: I’ll remember that :wave:

:stuck_out_tongue:

Can overseas Pakistanis buy PPL stocks as well?

^

Umer bhai, someone else asked me that as well. Inshallah I'll look into it and get back to you. The form I have says only for resident Pakistanis and the last date is the 22nd but let me get back to you about this one :)

So Irem, you would buy stocks of companies who deal in RIBA for profit??? Good good...I am glad somethng good rubbed off on your during your stay in USA.

Irem Stocks are generally risky ... why not invest in buying some real estate?

Matsui uncle how do u know PPL deals in RIBA? and also, can u tell me what RIBA is? :p

ahmadjee, thanks for the advice. actually these stocks are beng considered really safe by everyone. read Khan bhai's reply above. aur waise bhee abhee mein itni ameer nai hui k real estate khareedna shuru karoon :D these stock r just abt 30,000 rupees so its not that expensive :)

I heard they came up with some good fixed income interest rate for mortgages ... you can buy yourself an apartment in Karachi or something. No, I am not suggesting you get it for yourself ... maybe you can rent it out and get the kamayee! Kaisa?

^

ahmadjee idea to boht “fit” hae :hehe: :slight_smile: lekin the thing is k firstly i earn a quite modest amt so plans bhee us k hisaab se hi banati hoon :smiley: and the second thing is right now future plans r kinda unsure, like i might go to grad school in a yr, might start a small business if that doesnt happen, etc etc, is lyay abhee not thinking abt doing anything permanent for abt a yr :slight_smile:

Irem, allah mian isn;t gonna ask, did PPL leverage it't working capital to optimize it's WACC. I would suggest you read the quran again about Riba and find out whether you are going to hell or not.

matsui yaar kyun roo raha hai...if your bhagwan can forgive u for having some tasty filet magnon of guy maata then RIBA bhee maaf ho jaye gaa..
