Will foreign exchange expenses greatly affect viability?

Are there any Malaysian equivalents?

What about dealing through Vanguard SG?

Let's say I put 10k into Vanguard 500 Index Fund and another 10k into SPDR 500 ETF.

Will they both get the same returns minus the different fund admin cost?

Would you say ETFs are for trader investors, not long term?

For long term why not just get no-load funds from Vanguard SG like VFINX VTSMX?

PS: Again, are there no ETFs composed of Malaysian stocks, only front load UTs ?

Isn't iShares EWM still a US$ product? I'm hoping for a Rm$ one sold on local bourse. ETF concept too advanced for here?

What is Vanguard doing in SG if not selling anything?!?!

So buying UTs and ETFs with similar holdings from discount brokers not much difference except for NAV pricing and flexible trading hours?

Is this the right time on the slope to buy into mining and energy funds? Likely to drop much much lower?

for short play ok but not for long term

What length is your long term? I'd like to buy low and keep at least a year, can wait more until rises again.
