if the runner keep running out of prediction, still wanna lift the laggards if the laggards keep lagging? Sometimes i believe sometimes common sense have to kicks in.

Help A BIT lor...

E.g.
Start A 1000, B 1000
Later A 1300, B 950
I'd top up 175 on B to bring it CLOSER to A, i.e. add 1/2 support. I won't bring it up to A's level exactly.

cannot keep on lifting the laggards....just like cannot keep on putting $$ in to a company to made it perform better.....
look for another company that can perform better?

small caps historically able to give up to 10% annual returns, whereas large caps somewhere 6-7%. If u do nothing to "support" the large caps in your portfolio, just a matter of time before your portfolio eventually overwhelmed with small caps

U just cannot expect Guinness to grow at same pace as a small start-up enterprise

My IRR stuck at ~8%. I have no idea how to make them increase anymore. Mainly in small caps.

haha.. move more to equities and focus asia ex japan.

I just gonna leave my SAQ on auto-pilot now. Will be topping up PGSF today

Where's your common sense? Still wanna lift this "laggard"?

fsm sg is trying to kill all the small fishes. now the sales charge for equity or balanced funds are at 0.5% min $10 means top up $100 = $10 sales charge (10%). however prospectus capped it at 5% max means $5 =5% sales charge if you top up $100. as if we can top up in thousands everytime and every fund.

any comment from sifus here?

oh.. really!?? hope FSM MY wont be following them la...

try topping up S$200 lor...
200X5%=10

wah.. 5% still alot lei if top up SGD200. Might as well buy from banks, still can see leng lui or yumcha with them... ahhaha

i think sometimes some "bigger" businesses prefer the small fishes to go elsewhere, the ROI to cater for the smaller fishes is not there and also the prestige and also maybe to provide some life lines to other competitors.

On the surface, this strategy seems to be logical and easy to be implemented. However, when it comes to actual execution, many are unable to sell even when the price breached their tolerance limit. This is mainly due to the fact that to sell a stock at a loss is always much more difficult than selling at a profit. Psychologically, when we sell our stock holding at a loss, it means that we have to overcome our pride as we have to admit that we have made a mistake in purchasing it. In addition, many will also fear that after the stock being sold off, the price may appreciate again. Therefore, because of pride and fear of regret, a lot of investors will end up holding their stocks when the price goes down as they are still hoping for the price to go up again in the future.
got that from the web....

I believe u got the wrong illustration

http://www.fundsupermart.com/main/research...?articleNo=8279

Equity funds (including Balanced funds) 0.5% sales charge, subject to a minimum of $10 per transaction[COLOR=blue]

$10 minimum of 100 invested = 10%?

since my Eq portion of the portfolio are 85% M'sia eq....
will take this 1%sc promotion to buy into HSBal...then next week will switch into HSAQ.....if buy into hsaq directly is 2%sc

Is it because of what I said that I will be selling it off, not for long term?

Actually it's to raise my exposure in equity. I'm currently 80/20 invested (calculated based on amount invested, not current value).

Means all transaction be it top up 100sgd also chargeable $10 lor.

why not use "current value"?
