Ciggy market is matured, growth is hampered by illegal contraband ciggy

Alcohol...semua pun minum, termasuk <insert race>

You guys portfolio is at all time high? I reached all time high 2 months ago, then drop significantly. Up until today, havent reach my previous high, just need to rally a little more.

HI GARK,

Which ETF you looking at now?

VOO, VTI, EEM ... so far only these few

Mine back to all time high already due to recent addition on China and EM funds...

All this ETF is overseas,
how you purchase those ETF?

E-Trade Singapore

But gark gor, Pink.

BAT pay good dividend. Even though BAT is what I say mature already. Only things that affect their revenue is government law, illicit cigarette.. As compared to GAB?

Like what Pink said, alcohol all also drink. But people stress during downtime, people smoke more.

Just see their past 5 years financials (esp Revenue growth from year to year), u will get what we mean

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.

You got plan to sell or keep holding? My china one also help me quite alot. But not sure to keep or sell half.

hello everyone! i wanna ask a question
went thru v3 a lil but maybe it was a repeated question hope u people can help me out
i have a friend working in Eastspring and he's offering me x% apparently he's quite a high ranking
however FSM is offering 2%! is it normal to buy it thru FSM cause the rates are just so good
there's even a 1% special rate for first month?

Read Post #1 for benefits of investing thru FSM.

my EI global leaders my is flying as high as hwang asia quantum lol.. in terms of ROI percentage la haha..

thanks to Unker Ben...Bernanke. Dow and S&P 500 and also Europe flying

hehe.. yalo.. now hope GEMF and AGEF fly..

GEMF from worst of -10% now breakeven oredy

My portfolio still got 3% to my all time high...

3% not so easy, bro. Waiting my PGSF to achieve this 3% to breakeven very long already. Can't wait to switch

EI is the fundhouse, from EI you can only purchase EI fund. FSM there are a lot of funds from different fund houses you can purchase from.
If thru EI u get consultation advise and Sales Charge is 6.5%, if you can invest on your own without the so call investment advise and consultation from UT agent e.g. EI then it is much better you register yourself here invest on your own max 2% only new member entitle 30 days 1% off lei during promotion sometimes certain fund offer 1% off as well. Basically same just different channel and the most obvious is the sales charge.
