Am I certified to trade?

As I logged into my poems account, I saw this screen asking me to do a test. I think it's the new ruling that is going to take effect on 1st Jan 2012. If you do not satisfy certain criteria, you'll be asked to take a test to determine whether you know what you are doing. If you fail, you won't be able to buy (though you can sell your existing holdings, from what I read from the site). I don't know who the ruling is trying to protect - the advisors or the consumers. Anyway, it seems that I do not have to take the test since I had made more than 6 trades with regards to shares. I can't do CFD or unit trust myself though, until I take the test, that is.











Anyway, I would like to take the test and see if I 'know' my stuff or not. It'll be interesting, haha!

Jialat. I think I made less than 6 trades in the last 6 months. Maybe I don't qualify to be "investment-savvy"? Haiz.

Hi mw,

Ha! Don't worry, it's 6 trades or more in the last 3 yrs if I recall rightly :) You should have hit that! In fact, I doubt if any of us in the cbox community will have to take the test, unless it's some newbie who just joined in.

It'll be very very interesting if we don't qualify, haha :)

My poems login prompt this:

Acknowledging of Risk Disclosure Statement(RDS) before trading OTC/Exchange Traded Leveraged Instruments*


**OTC/Exchange Traded Leveraged Instruments include CFD, CFD(DMA) and ESCs where CFD means Contract for Differences, DMA means Direct Market Access and ESCs means Extended Settlement Contracts


No need for stocks. Why mine is different?

I was asked to take the test which was administered by SGX. SGX Online Education Programme. becoz i "owned some REITs".

However, my brother a regular player, did not have to.

Did and passed on the 2nd attempt.

I guess those have good trading history with your respective broker don't need such test.

My OCBC account which is my regular trading account. No such notification message at all unlike poems still have the following

"Acknowledging of Risk Disclosure Statement(RDS) before trading OTC/Exchange Traded Leveraged Instruments*"

I will forever be indebted to the great Doctor AKHIGBE for fixing my broken marriage after my husband left me for 6 months. I never believed in spells until my close friend introduced me to him. At first, I was skeptical about him because I heard a lots about false spell casters but I put my doubts behind me for i was desperate to get my husband back and I did according to what he instructed me to do. Now my husband is back just within 48 hours of contacting him. I'm living happily with my husband again after 6 months of divorce and I will not rest till he's known all over the world. He's also specialize in sickness spells. Get connected with Doctor AKHIGBE now, his email is drakhigbespellhome7@gmail.com or WhatsApp on +2349021374574 and I said I must let any email I see on net must know about this because am very happy .
