Now analogy...

Stock A : 5% yield Growth 0% Stagnant. Every year give $50.

Stock B : 4% yield Growth 10% per year. Year 1 $40, year 2 $44, year 3 $48.4 and so on...

Lets say both investment is $1000

In 20 years investment A total dividend = $1000

In 20 years investment B total dividend = $2291

So which one is the better investment? which one has the higher yield?

Cannot see by feel one, go read the financial statements and calculate the 5yr and 10yr EPS/DPS CAGR. Growth > Yield anyday.... best if growth + yield.

New fund... not proven yet. I am vested in Aberdeen Pacific & Aberdeen Emerging Market.

Better choice of international funds...

Hmm Islamic funds... no financials, gambling & alchohol. Most of the big caps companies in the world are financials. Scope too limited.

I got... DWS China Equity fund... doing quite well.

Why no tobacco stocks? Not halal meh?

No major consumer stocks as well since they sell pork products?

Like that invest in what?

Everytime i see that name.. cannot tahan.. must laugh 1.
