Else my money will put in FD or my FUll FEXI Mortgage loan".

"STAR RATINGS METHODOLOGY
At the end of each quarter, we review our calls on the various regional and single-country equity markets under our coverage to assess each market’s attractiveness as an investment proposition both on a standalone basis, as well as with respect to other markets. In our quarterly star rating exercise, we look at key valuation metrics like PE and PB ratios, expected earnings growth, as well as excess earnings yield to determine how attractive a particular market is. In addition, we consider the economic outlook utilising both consensus forecasts, as well as our own assessment of longer-term economic prospects. Our methodology not only incorporates both top-down and bottom-up forecasts, but also includes qualitative adjustments where necessary to achieve reasonable estimates of target upside for each market under our coverage over a 3-year horizon."
guess they are covered . ha-ha

"Buy Low, Sell High": Make It Happen By Looking At Valuations August 17, 2012
By focusing on fundamentals and the long term, we can try to gauge where the “low” points are by looking at a market’s valuations. In this article, we will focus on the most commonly used measure for valuations, the Price-to-Earnings (PE) ratio, and discuss why valuations matter for our analysis of markets.

want to be a little bit clever mah.
should have read those earlier before i jumped in in early May...now have to really planning to change 75% of my portfolio allocation.....too bad my LCD screen always show RED since May. have to wait till my computer VGA card ok, then maybe it can show some GREEN..maybe then will change the portfolio. already changed 20% of my M'sia heavy to China and Asia in Aug....still RED.

the market valuation says China, Asia ex Japan, Emerging markets has big potential to reap bigger returns.....but when? maybe 3 yrs?
like what forummer S_kates did mentioned just now,.....currently FD rates is as good as some bond funds without the risks.

The Worst Reason To Sell
http://www.fool.sg/2013/09/09/the-worst-re...s76yhocs0070001

To put it simply, big declines in stock prices are common. But more often than not, these temporary price fluctuations can have nothing to do with the changes, if any, of the underlying fundamentals of the companies.

Peter Lynch, a fund manager who turned every $1,000 entrusted to him in 1977 into $27,000 by the time he retired in 1990, made his investors rich basing his investing decisions on the business fundamentals of a stock. Buffett made himself rich by focusing intently – almost exclusively – on the business fundamentals of a stock.

yes, it GDP slowed down...to a more manageable level and which country has the mean to set a 7% minimum GDP level at current situation?

Sack your fund manager – you can do a better job yourself
COMMENT: Fund management fees, in effect, confiscate your dividends – which account for half of all investment gains. Yet it has never been easier to start your own share portfolio, says Rodney Hobson.

how is the fundamental of the country?
The past 3 months has seen the Indonesian benchmark, the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI), tumble -19.9% from its peak on 20 May 2013 (as of 20 August 2013), after it had surged by close to 20% on a year-to-date basis then.
