PETALING JAYA: Retail investors are advised to tread the market with caution to mitigate inherent risks and avoid potential pitfalls.
The fact is, there are still a lot of global uncertainties and domestic macro economic challenges that could have a negative impact on the stock market.
According to Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd, while the recent surge in retail participation has been a boon to the local stock market, there is still concern that these mom-and-pop investors are easily influenced by emotion and instinct that can leave them in a vulnerable position.
