The talk was given by guest speaker Dr Kevin, Founder and Head Coach of Penny Stocks Malaysia. This talk was the Finance and Investment club’s first virtual event.
Some of the points shared by Dr Kevin were the differences between the forex and stock market to provide students a basic understanding. This would also allow students to differentiate which types of investment are long and short term. Students also learnt risk appetite and management, as well as the cash flow needed to start investing in these different markets.
