Buy Netflix shares in Malaysia

With the development of Internet technologies, online investment is becoming more and more popular in the world. Investing in large companies is a good option for saving money and increasing capital. The process of online investment differs significantly from a similar classical model. Now there is no need to visit the institutions of banks, stock exchange, company offices, etc., and there is no need to coordinate time to meet with a broker, adjusting to his work schedule. Innovative systems make it possible to study investment activities from the comfort of one's own home, as well as to perform all necessary operations, such as buying or selling shares, withdrawing funds or simply viewing information for analysis.

The 21st century offers an exceptional investment opportunity to anyone with a laptop (or even just a mobile phone), Internet access and a minimum starting amount of just USD 10. You don't have to live in a large, economically prosperous city to join the traders' business. You can live in a small province of Malaysia, but on the World Wide Web you will have the same chances of success as a resident of New York or Hong Kong.

When investing in Netflix stock, keep in mind that the company does not pay dividends. Netflix Inc. for the development of its business previously attracted actively and in significant amounts borrowed funds. This has led to the fact that today the issuer has a large amount of liabilities on the balance sheet. The high debt burden, which requires the payment of interest and principal on loans, prevents Netflix from paying dividends to shareholders in cash. According to analysts, free financial resources, including profits, the company directs to the development of its business. Thus, in the form of dividends, the company's shares were divided in a ratio of 7 to 1. The investor received 6 new shares in Netflix's paper portfolio. In the future, it is likely that after reducing the debt burden, the issuer's management will decide to pay cash dividends to all owners of the company's securities.
