Path

Step by step

One card per step - open the linked desk when you are ready; stay on one company until you finish.

  1. Step 01

    Confirm you need a licensed broker

    Pakistan Stock Exchange trades go through brokers, not through this educational desk.

  2. Step 02

    Study the company first

    Search the PSX stock list, open the share-price page, and skim filings. Before you size a ticket, work how many lots a PKR budget buys. Pehle samjho - then decide.

    Open this step →Share budget calculator →
  3. Step 03

    Open a broker account (official path)

    Choose a SECP-licensed broker. They will help with KYC and CDC. We do not recommend a specific firm.

  4. Step 04

    Keep this desk for homework

    After you hold shares, you can still read market today and company pages here. Work round-trip cost so a small move is not mistaken for profit. Orders stay with your broker.

FAQ

Does Pehle Samjho buy shares for me?

No. We do not hold money, CNIC, CDC PINs, or orders. Buying listed shares in Pakistan happens through a licensed broker.

What is CDC?

The Central Depository Company keeps electronic records of shares. Your broker helps you open access to that locker. Treat CDC and broker logins as official - never share them here.

Should I buy a stock because it is a top gainer today?

No. Gainers are a mood check, not a shopping list. Open that company’s share-price page, read filings, and use a licensed broker only after you understand the name.
