yups...the next cycle comes in end 2007 till end of 2008 US subprime crisis....what about end of 2015-2016 onwards? US government bankrupt? ...europe oso not far from sovereign bankrupt pandemic...

From cursing PGSF to HSAO (Hwang Select Asia ex Japan Opportunity)

And we still do

for me writing options is like picking pennies in front of steamroller. Some are good at it though. I would rather go with long call/put.

i like "steam rollers" as long as i know their max speed and standard deviations

if not.. eee.. scary & not profitable in long term
btw, i've already factored in losses and it still makes sense long run. only worry is i got the %
oh well, it's just using my "crazy $" account.

oo - back to FSM.
eh - anyone saw that "reverse 2013" thing?
ie. most asset classes/sub-classes that were dogs in 2013, made good $ so far in 2014 (Vs. those that did well in 2014).
eg. frontier market, gold, emerging market
vs
Developed mkts

the % we saw is referring to annualized return or accumulative return?

I stop tracking the performance once I fully exit. So far so good from switching

“What’s Your View on the Market?”

But, my answer’s always the same: “I honestly don’t know. And frankly, I couldn’t care less.”
“The reasons are two-fold. First, I don’t think there’s hardly anyone who can consistently be correct with general market movements. Second, I’m an investor in individual companies, and hence would be a lot more interested in their corporate future as opposed to where the market will be.”

Even if you really do develop a view on where the market might be heading next, never lose sight of what’s truly important when it comes to investing – the eventual development of a company’s business and the price you’ve paid to be a partial owner of that company...... well, isn't that is the job of the FM?...

Ya.. My wifey holding it for almost 2 years jor. Irr is 25%.

just a quick question......do we need to do tax filing for fsm unit trust??

No need.

guys, in regards to the cash management fund, is it safe for me to say that the interest it generates is better than few months FD of Maybank?

Plus your funds are not locked-down.

am i right on this account?

CMF is giving almost 3% pa. No lock period.

right now the net interest rate for CMF is 3.045%. definitely great! and the money is credited daily. awesome.

0.045% p.a is insignificant. I believe this rate is somehow tied to the money market rate.
