what have we experience for the last 1 week...Most of the funds in our portfolio turn "RED"....what funds ARE not in the DOWN trends for the last 10 days? can you name some?
even my Hwang SEL income and Balance are down.
IF the mkt were to pick up again (like Europe & US last night because of employment growth report) i think we cannot stick to the existing portfolio that are HIGHly dependents to the US Employment growth report....which are MONTHLY...(even worst, is we know that QE won't last for another few months before they start to pull back gradually)
any comment?

thanks for sharing...
1 fund OSK-UOB Global Equity Yield noted....
others got any to share?
just checked the "eunittrust.com.my"...i think Ambond Islamic is also up...BUt the return is not as equities

oh,...just wanted to make a closer observation on which fund mgrs did manage to diversify the holdings to make it "immune" to the BAD QE pull back.(maybe not immune but the least loses)..
i believe what go up must come down...i also believe that if i wanted a 10% return, i must be willing to have a paper loses of 20% too.
yeap...cannot chase the leaders....cos i entered all funds at peak (mid May 2013)(thus it make me a leader??ha-ha...in a money fly way)
just wanted to see what we can learn from this last 1 week

funny. eh??
QE gradual pull back intention got not much effect on US mutual funds?

that is where a study/observation of which fund mgrs managed to make most $ or lose the least $ is a GOOD to have info in the above situation....

what are their total % of asia x jpn allocation per yr portfolio?

ok, just post that same question with the % of allocation per yr portfolio and your risk level...then i think "pink" can answer in detail...he is good.

that would be "hakuna matata"
from simba the lion king movie.

cannot have both....."wanted to grow my asset faster" and "i have high percentage in fixed income"

Not just the time to take to look for job...maybe to compensate for a lower paying job. It will allow you to weather any unexpected storms including home repairs, unemployment, and medical bills. At the very least, the emergency cash reserve should be sufficient to cover up to six months (min) of the following:
Mortgage payment
Insurance costs
Utility bills
Groceries
Fixed payments (car payments, student loan payments, etc.)
Minimum payment on credit cards,.etc

wow,..that is "Emergency fund" you are talking about. do reconsider it.
when near recession...yr investment using the emergency fund may already in "RED"

my thought is to use "Some' of it at the bottom of the curve.
Some?? how much is "some"?
bottom of curve,...when?

for me, i still hv 1/3 EPF saving....when to use it? i am thinking of 18 months from the time i goes down....

we hv seen some very severe crisis thru out the past few decades in Malaysia/globally...so far got any bank in Malaysia that chap? further more, after so many crisis world wide, i think the BNM and alot of others had learned alot from it.
i think it should be ok.

= i am > 50 yrs. can withdraw 1/3 of my EPF saving liao. currently i consider this 1/3 as part of my FD....

it also means I hv abt 1/3 of battery life span life (if i am lucky)
for you guys that still hv full battery life,....go take a big plastic bag (big enough to cover the head, and put inside the pocket) the ask "the sifu" to take you to the place he last time mention maybe can hv your picture taken or splashed in the TV.....(those who followed this thread for the last few weeks should know-lah)...ha-ha...

in chort..if sill hv a lot of battery life...go enjoy and hv fun and thrill. the place for "thrill" that were suggested by the sifu can minum, pegang,pegang, touch here and there...the plastic bag is to cover the face just in case the "mata" come with news crew and hv to board the black maria truck

Berkshire Hathaway has two classes of stock. The Class A shares are priced over USD $100,000 per share.
i doubt that FSM has fund that are holding it

now you see it and now you don't....never leave this thread updates out of sight....even go to wash room bring yr tablet along...else you will "MISSED" the good thi ngs...

yeah, but it is also up to us whether we hv to guts to follow his decision/wisdom at that time.
