I went on Tues as well. KOSONG for me. Looks like you snatched all the ASM before I tried my luck.

Next time, please leave some for me. Ha.

Cheerio.

Yes, now regretting my in-action when AS1M was released.

My fear was it was a BIG fund at RM10 billion. Worry that the size might limit its return. Ha.

Wah, now you must be laughing all the way to the bank/ASNB. Ha.

Cheerio.

I thought it will be on Mar 10. No?

My apology. Reading things differently. Ha.

Cheerio

Though my success rate in getting the ASX is already bad, getting ASW for me is right at the bottom of my strike ladder.

Now seeing your multiple strikes makes me wonder what am I doing wrong?

Better timing? Better and helpful staff? Nicer and smiling face (you) at the counter? ???

Cheerio.

You sure have a $ angel helping you! Ha.

It was a very disappointing and frustrating day for me today. Thought it was a good idea to do a few things (7 of them) in one go when I went to town but it back fired on me.

1. Went to a bank after lunch but it was not open until 1:45 pm for the Friday prayer. So waited for about 30 mins there. Second surprise was they did not have enough RM50s for my FD withdrawal (now don't jump the gun, not a lot lah, only XX,000). Waited for another 30 mins for them to sort this out.

2. Went to another bank to withdraw and the bank was packed. Did not bring my Priority Banking card but managed to jump queue after talking to the officer there.

3. Went to a bank to try my luck on the ASX. After my number was called, went to the counter and the teller told me to find a seat and wait. He called me back after some 3 mins only to tell me that no units were available. Don't really know whether he checked or not. One MB staff is considerate enough to show me the screen when he checked for units. Others do it behind "curtains". Ha.

4. Got a parking fine on my return form the bank. I was only 5 mins past my ticket time! Now I will have to pay for the fine! Adding salt to my injury!

Learning for me is to avoid going to the banks on Fri (too many people and especially so being at the end of the month). And avoid doing too many things in one trip to town!

Cheerio.

Mentioned before in the thread that non bumi portions have been fully subscribed and thus not available.

Some of us here go to banks, PO, ASNB to buy, to try our luck, hoping that there will be some non bumi selling his/hers when they check the system.

Cheerio.

Yes, can try the PO.

From my many trips, I find the PO staff are more helpful and patient than bank staff in helping to get the available units.

No offence to the bank staff if there are some here in this forum.

Cheerio.

I have not looked at ASM numbers in detail.

My guess is 0.1-0.3 better than last year. Why? EPF has done better than 2012. ASM should do better with a smaller fund size than EPF. Of course, they are not 100% identical in their operation, performance.

Just hope no unpleasant global economic news this month as that will reduce the final % (save some for next year line of thinking).

Cheerio.

FINALLY, got a strike this afternoon, 1K for ASM.

Many thanks to Mdm Chan of CIMB and the person who sold his/her ASM units. Ha.

Hope for more of this.

I think the dividend is calculated monthly. Thus loosing out from March onward.

I am new to this ASX and I may be wrong. Ha.

I should really follow you one day and learn from you! My sifu now. Ha.

Impressive! The amount and the frequency!

Bumi or non bumi account? Sorry for asking.

Cheerio.

I have checked with a few banks with the internet top up and replies were the same, only for bumi top-up. Non bumi not active as all the units have been taken up.

When I started joining this ASX forum, I contacted ASNB to ask whether the purchase amount must match EXACTLY the available for sale amount, reply was, the purchase would be successful when the purchase amount was equal to or less than the available amount for sale.

E.g. if available units for sale = RM1500, you put in a purchase for RM1000, you will get it. Same with if the purchase amount is RM10, RM888, RM1499 or RM1500.

Cheerio.

Congratulations!

Which one?

I went to ASNB at about 230 pm. KOSONG for me.

I checked out CIMBclicks and maybank2u and realized that it stated that we are able to top up or I vestment using their service.

My question now is, if a non bumi sells their units, I could try getting it online right ?

Yes, can update at PO, MB, CIMB, RHB & ASNB.

Welcome to this M'sian forum, Sir WBuffet!

Any tips for us? Ha.

Cheerio.

Hi, how do you know that I went today? Ha.

Another BIG KOSONG for me today.

And you?

Cheerio.
