NIKKEI opens with 3% higher.

Those who were gung-ho enough to go full blast during October slump would be rewarded

I only top up kecik meow

Wait for more weakness at US and Europe before top up more CIMB Global Titans...I need to reduce my effective % exposure to Emerging Markets

I'm tempted to enter into AmCommodity, in view of the recent crude oil drop.

That fund so far has ZERO exposure to Japan

That's their MANDATE

Means, they CAN invest in Japan, but they may or may not invest in it at the moment.

Hello all the sifu
New user to the FSM..
Few years ago done some investment on UT, had sold all off during 2011, all went through with the UT agent..

Will start my first investment with the PRS then only build my UT profile...
Took one week to finish all the post in V1 & V2, still a long way to go before I able to digest until V7..

"The most important advice I would give to anyone who hasn't started (be it man or woman) and is being held back is to starting investing now, but use a small amount.
Something you are comfortable with even if you suffer losses. It can be as little as one thousand dollars because that is usually all you need to start investing into a unit trust. Then, as you invest, you will see how markets and such affect your returns and you will be able to learn from your experiences without suffering too much heartache compared to if you placed your entire life savings into the market and lose half of it in a market crash.
The key thing is you have to accumulate investing experience. No amount of prior reading up and accumulating of knowledge can compare with actual investing experience which can only be built up by using your own money to invest. You have to experience the emotional pull that comes from market ups and downs and learn how to handle your emotions during those times. And learning from mistakes made is the greatest teacher".

Wow, my first lesson

2nd lesson,...maybe...do consider the Sales charges...some are lower than others and also have more global choices.

ESPECIALLY in taming your inner fear & greed (no amount of knowledge will help).
EQ not just IQ

Has QE3 ended? I thought the tapering has ended and it is now QE infinity.

ended right?

It is how the market behave. it will wiggle from milliseconds price all the way to monthly price. If you have access to a charting service, zoom in to 1 day chart and zoom out to 20 years chart, they all wiggle and look similar, like waves.

Yes ended, they stopped buying end of last month

it is semantic. QE3 officially ended but replaced with continuous bond purchase to replace matured one, keeping the balance sheet, effectively QE infinity. There is $1 trillion worth of bond maturing in next 5 years.

Thanks for the advice..
Will buy the Kenanga OnePRS growth fund for the PRS...
Then, will start to build my first fund portfolio..
