But being a shark himself, he probably have ways to make the market go down

Maybe should follow Soros as well.

That one not shark leh.. already graduate to whale status...

Anyway.. sorry not 30+%.. about 13% only.

Even if he is working, looking at market situation today, I don't think it is wise for him to lump sum go in. Better to DCA over 3-6 months. He can save the income for VCA in case market really gone south. I'm doing that right now even with my EPF withdrawal.

Like what GS allegedly did to the gold market. Interesting to read how they can manipulate the market.

Depends on his investment horizon and the time he has to monitor the overall market lo.

With the 3 funds he selected, I think you can quite safely lump sum and close eyes for years.

Asia Ex-Japan
Malaysia

yes bro pink is right . Its been performing relatively well without much volatility tats why bit berani to lump sum into these 3. Im planning to keep it for more than 10 years. Hopefully things works out well

some things to consider in Unit trusts: Let’s take a look at $10,000 invested over 30 years with an average annualized gain of 10%.
If you invested in an exotic mutual fund with an expense ratio of 2.5%, you would have only $87,550 and paid a whooping $86,944 (almost 50%) in expense fees. Ouch!

Every publicly listed company has to prepare three financial statements: the Income Statement; Cash Flow Statement; and Balance Sheet. All three have to be studied together to paint a holistic picture of a company’s financials and business condition.

Pink,
can we get these 3 info from the annual reports of unit trust funds ?
can we get these 3 info from the annual reports of Stock that we purchase from Bursa?

Time to move to stocks slowly... ;P

yes, but it is a whole new ball games

Yes and yes

Buy blue chips and hold thru crashes and bubbles, just do nothing

That’s important for every investor – not just for dividend investors – to keep in mind.
