What a pity that me - being a foreign investor - cannot do that
Do you mean purchasing the "nil-paid-rights" and then subscribe after ex rights? But i think it's usually not trading at a discount to the theoretical ex rights shares price. And even if at a discount, no one is sure what the real ex rights price will be. So the fundamentals of the company and the reasons for asking you for "extra money" still count.

2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.

A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.
