or
up, up , up too fast and too high in too short a time?
should I take some profit or plan exit strategies?

fi,...last 1 month
GTF down slower and abit lesser than GEY
GTF up faster and higher than GEY
now my GTF is + 1.8, GEY is still - 1%

My CIMB GTF ROI is 2.97%

CIMB GTF is being dragged down by Eurozone since it has 1/3 allocation there.

Kan I already named GEY as the 'useless fund'? But okla, no complaints, I finally recouped my losses and sold

Abe boosting Japan economy, delay raise sales tax

Japan equities on the fly again, GTF will benefit

Abe looks like going to call for election....
should he be voted out..then....

good to know that you managed to identified "useless" fund and sold off without losing.
maybe i am a slow learner ("L" plate),...yet to identify my "useless" one in my portfolio of 1 year.
currently my "worst" performer of about 6 months at YTD is RHBOSK emerging opportunity fund at - 2.9%,
but this is just less than 10% of my portfolio allocation...which means it just affected - 0.29% of my portfolio.

Eee...sector specific fund

I scared

no action todeiii

No pain no gain. now i know

For sure you're not L-plate, maybe P-plate
My RHB emerging opportunity is 11 months old and ROI only 1.76% as of 11/17 NAV price. It is 14% of my FSM portfolio but only 1% of my entire investment portfolio

This article is saying "what is most important for building wealth is not ‘timing’ the market but rather ‘time in’ the market" and average investors' return is slightly better than the inflation. What is your take on this?

Can You Time The Market?......November 18, 2009
When the market has moved to high levels, predicting its future direction is tricky. Investors are often tempted to time the market - whether it will have further upside or will it consolidate. However, is this the best strategy?....Author : IFAST Research Team

* a study of historical returns for the S&P 500 between 1928 and 2009 to test the benefits and detriments of timing the market
* Avoiding the ten worst months resulted in an annualised 8.3% return, versus the annualised 5.1% return for remaining invested from 1928 to 2009
* Excluding the ten worst days of performance in eighty-two years, annualised return improved to 6.6%
* On the other hand, missing out on the ten best months and ten best days gave annualised returns of 2.5% and 3.7% respectively
* Monthly returns were concentrated between -5% and 5% for a majority of the time
* The results suggest that market timing can be a risky strategy which may severely impact returns, if one misses out on the best days or months of market performance

As an example, if investors remained invested in Malaysian market (represented by the KLCI Index) continuously over the last decade, they would have been able to enjoy a cumulative return of 190.3% throughout the 10-year period (Chart 2). However, that may not have been the case if investors performed market timing, and instead of avoiding the worst periods of stock market performance, actually missed out on some of the best periods instead. Over the 10 years, there were approximately 2400 trading days and if investors happened to miss out on just the 10 best trading days (not even 1% of the total trading days), their cumulative returns dropped significantly to 111.5%, about 60% of the return that they would get in the case of staying invested.

I believe, very true and I don't have much time left

S&P500 inches higher to another record at 2052:

U.S. stocks rose to a record, led by energy and small-cap shares, as data showing improvements in the American economy overshadowed concern over weaker growth overseas.

Those who shied away from US equities becos of the "topping" indices gonna knock wall

Luckily I managed to buy CIMB Global Titans in time before recent spike

CIMB GTF cannot really rip the total benefits as it has around 30% allocation in US.

Unless you have RHB-OSK-GS US Equity Fund. My ROI is 9.23%
