please see why "that" post was posted?
was it posted in response/reply/query to a particular post?

PS: Clarifications - i agree those are generally good funds but since our "traders" prefer to buy high, sell low - how lar.. wink.gif

Eunittrust money market fund is forced at 0.5 NAV. Dividend will be credited on a monthly basis without drop in NAV.
Mat salleh people use etf indexing.
Their 4 funds basically consist of one home fund usually s&p500
world index etf which is 50% heavy in US
One bond fund.

I'm okay with dips along the way. It's part of the business. As long as the line keeps moving upwards in the long term, I'll be happy.

Since I'm new to this, I'm wondering if, in general, now is a good or bad time to buy small caps or if I should just ignore all that and get on with investing.

the best time to invest is 10 to 20 years ago, ALWAYS laugh.gif
Just like the best time to plant trees brows.gif

Consistency & clarity of action is the key.

Just sharing & adding to the knowledge of lazy & statistical investing into broad based funds (ETFs used for easy data update and your own testing by downloading from Yahoo Finance)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17L9...dit?usp=sharing

Summary:
If we consistently invest, even the same amount yearly, into a broad based fund, EVEN IF CURSED LUCK buying at the highest cost every single year, in the long term (20+ years data used), we still make profits even ending on a badly down year of 2022. Thus the key is ability to HODL (ie. have good cash flow planning), consistency & long-term outlook (ie. NOT quarterly). Imagine how much better if we bought at median or even sometimes, lows, especially when there's FEAR?
