hohoho HYIP scammer...
but how they get caught?

according to 1 article, we shud ask anything we're not clear which just came thru/read thru, because making mistakes cost money but asking question're not.

so here's another question and hopefully it won't piss off anyone here:

we know the place for fd, mutual funds, stocks and option. but where/how to approach to the bond buying/selling? i search about malaysia bond and they always led me into bond fund/income fund only......

is it true that we, the ordinary citizen has no access to this high cost high volume bond investment issued between bank or company? but then when i read about the investment allocation pie chart (books from US again), bond is always there taking quite some space.


*about the internet scam: we're a criminal if we earn money from it; a victim if we loss money on it? lol

Forex seems nice to be on and far more interesting than Malaysian stocks. Anybody learning to trade in forex.com? USD$99 for the training. I might do it when I have the time.

BTW, what's the min amount of money to start investing in Forex and where to create the account? Excuse me for being kind of noob in this

The amount is depend on ur choosen broker..The is a lot of broker online such as marketiva, north finance,winning soluiton,fxcm and etc..I think one of the best is north finance that use meta trader 4..It is widely use n it cost usd100 to open an acc..

Bleh..i'm still blur while playing the simulator forex...

Need to find someone to coach me Anybody?

i'm started forex last month using marketiva. once u registered an account u will have usd 5 (real money) and usd 10000 (virtual money).
first few days i'm using virtual money after that i'm using the real money to trade and have earned more than usd 13 for my real money. its a good start for me..
but then wat u all mean by TA, timeframe, metafor...etc...normally i just analyze the chart...

How much is it to register in marketiva?

i used to trade with marketiva..but this platform still have some weakness.not many indacator.When we want to withdraw the money,we need to pay usd8..but with meta trader 4,foc...still marketiva is user friendly..

just usd1 is needed...

looking to invest in unit trust

can you guy recommend some unit trusts that have high growth potential and good peformance record?

I see Public Mutual is kind of good. However something I hate about unit trust is that the management fee is kind of high in Malaysia.

Yes, public mutual always have better performance and earn more returns. The management fee is still ok, but the service charge is high...around 5-7%...

i am invested with public mutual.....the investment period of quite long..at least a couple of years to really see any returns... if looking for short terms gains then it would have to be more speculative investments..but returns would be better...

hello to all investment ppl or experts out there I've a question, how do you guys look at those global based funds that malaysia currently has? Could it bring better gain compare to local funds(malaysia based) ? Any comments? THankss.

It depends on how much return you expect to get. If your are hoping to get 25-30% ... that's almost impossible. ...
A good performing mutual fund can give return up to 15-18%.

Yes, mutual fund is long term investment, you only can see return after 3-5 years. Global based fund may perform better than local based fund, but it still depends on world scenario. If Asian face economy crisis, sure global fund is good, but if europe face economy crisis, then local fund is good...Normally, we expect 8-10% return from mutual fund, after deduct the charge and fee.

of course if ur a lucky bumi, just dump ur excess funds into ASB and u can earn about 9-10% per annum there already...minus risks...

I do agree with you unit trust management fees is quite high in malaysia, however try to look at different side of view about this. The 6.5% fees is only charge once when u invested. Let say u invest your money for 5 yrs, u only have to pay about 1.3% per year while your return is about 8-12% per year. i think its still pretty reasonable.

In Public Mutual, the fees only will be charge for the first 3 yrs of investment, if you invest more than 3 yrs, there will be no more charge frm Public Mutual execpt for the management fees. For your information also, here we in Public Mutual manage to cover back the service charge fees within 12 months and some of our fund manager takes only 3 months to cover it back.
