"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".

what you did is not wrong...

1)  what hv you learned from this selling of funds during the down trend? (u sold CIMB GTF)
why picked them the 1st place?, how long hv you hold them? did you know that it had recovered it losses in 2 weeks? (dived for 2 weeks, jumped up in 2 weeks)
where is the money from the sale? on the side line waiting for the next "good fund"?
May I suggest that you rethink your risk appetite and recalculate your investable money (monies not touching for a few years) to determine your "holding power"....
else may try the RSP...regular saving plan..to try to flatten the volatility curves and reduces emotional investing

2) just a note of cautions....
not all bonds fund are created equal.....was told to see their holdings...riskier holdings...riskier risk of default and some are very sensitive to rate hikes.
some are lucky as in mid MAY 2013 to about Aug of 2013,...had enjoyed the first hand experience of having both Bond and Equities funds dived badly together.....   

3) the returns or emotional anxiety may not to your liking lor... if invested for short term.....or holding "wrong" funds for the long term

Those so-called "experts" like to say things like

"The market WILL collapse"

Of course market will experience crashes every now and then

But...

WHEN?
HOW MUCH?

10 year bull run, followed by a crash?

Then they will say, "see? I told u so!"

But u already made $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ during the 10 years HAD u remain invested.

Listen to them and park in cash?

Good luck
