is anyone involved in Stock market and buying/selling shares on the regular basis? Is it worth it to invest in Qatar companies?

The market is dull for the last 3-4 months but it will pick up with the financial results of companies along with dividend announcements from 1st QTR of 2008.

Rayyan has come very aggresively in the market and doing good business. They are the biggest islamic bank in the region. Hopefully their financial results will be good as well.

its my thinking and i could be wrong...

When was the last time when Rayyan shares went above 20Qr ???????

No forget it Rayyan share will never do any good at all believe me.

I daily see the chart even right now MARK 16.8 16.8 16.7 -0.6 this is the condition

If you are still holding Rayyan... good for you but if you've already sold... better luck next time :D

Rayyan share 52 week high is 25.70 which is not bad if you see the percentage growth. I believe it will make a new 52 week high in 2nd qtr of 2008 so we are talking about more than 50% return in 1 years time.

Who told you that and where do you work.

Qatarisun if you have enough spare cash SPARE then go for it otherwise forget it.

guess I was writing my answer when you are asking the question:)

The only thing I would recommend is to buy shares at the IPO stage where the risk is very little.

Personally, I bought Rayyan shares since more than one year @ 17.1 QRs. So you can tell the trend and what you would expect

Qatarisun. I came across cases where financial analysts themselves achieved losses in stock market based on their own analysis.

I would recommend if you are planning to invest, just invest in Funds managed by banks with Guranteed profit. Although the return would be little (like 5 to 10%) but at least it is guaranteed.

in this case i can get more opinions and suggestions regarding this matter. So what do you say: is it worth it?

yeah... long term means more than 1 year. Companies like Rayyan bank, Khalij Bank,Gulf cement etc will do well.

I would suggest you better reverse the question by asking "who is NOT involved in stock market".

what do you mean by "long-term"? like a year or more? and these "few stocks" are also to be found on DSM or somewhere else?

DSM is not very active market therefore, short term trading is difficult but there are few stocks at very attractive price for long term investment.
