i think aapl will be in both now.

dow is price driven index of 30 stocks (very few from nasdaq),; nasdaq is capitalization of 4000.

Not true. Can be listed on both DJIA and Nasdaq .. Just like Microsoft, Intel or Cisco ..
Hope Google can join DJIA too.

thanks guys!

Anyone been looking at the gaming stocks (esp. US-Macau based) lately... (LVS, WYNN, MPEL, MGM, etc..)?
They just can't seem to get a break despite better earnings last quarter. China crackdown seems to be wearing
down them greatly.

ya. it's all no good for gaming. i guess not a good choice for investors, cannot see future. unless we are seeing some transformation happening, ie. transforming into theme park focus on China tourists etc.

stocks down 1%, crude down 2.5%.

eur/usd down 1.6%, approaching parity!

monday, we'll see many currencies get whacked.

rm likely 3.70.

better go shopping for imported foodstuff soon, and before gst kicks in!

Wow... USD to Euro going parity soon.
Good time to plan for vacation in Europe..

2000 coming....

as for malaysians, better stay in the country. go genting or penanga or johor or....whatever.

I got my BUYs ready there.. come come lai lai mari mari

Wow.... XLE is going to 75 area again... perhaps as early next week?

the return of "good news is bad news" ....

with miserable rm, still costly to buy more even with correction.

will really have to pick carefully.

xle... i'll buy more at 73; xlv, will top up at 69.



meanwhile, my holidays will be restricted to klang-pj-kl, very acceptable.

How do you all buy ETFs? I cannot buy direct using my RHB account, need to go through remisier

cimb's itrade offer several overseas bourses to buy/sell online - nyse, nasdaq, hkse, sgx, thailand, indon. us markets include etf's. others like uk, australia - can only do offline thru broker.

not sure but i think mbb offers the same. rhb can't do us etf's online... not surprised becos recently someone reported hlb also cannot.

others may not be using local ib's but foreign brokerage houses. the former is a lot more expensive than the latter in terms of min brokerage, so not good for trading but ok for longer term holding. the former's main benefit is you can leverage yr total holdings in all bourses n currencies for any trade in any bourse, e.g. with sgx stocks paid up, you can trade us stocks if u wish.

my experience with cimb's itrade for foreign equities has been fine, incl reliability of platform, spread of fx and processing of dividends.

Temporary setback.. If you bought it 5-6 years ago, it still have very good paper gain.
The setback offset with strong usd currency exchange, qrtrly dividends . For investors, any hiccups
is a non issue at all and investors don't time the market.

Wah abit pain in the butt to open another account; hopefully rhb can allow etf trading soon

but much could RM rebound (if ever)? that's the big question. 3.50? i bet the day of 3.30 may have left us far far, don't mentioned below 3.00.

depends who u ask. ask jibkor or jeti, it shud be 3.00 becos everything is v good.

ask some experts, some say 3.73 is about right, some say it will go beyond that.

i only think about why it is the worst performing asian currency in the last 1 wk, 1 mth, 1 yr; what seeds have been sowed and if they will mean recovery or further depr. answer - i leave it to yr own analysis n imagination...

did zeti mention 3.00?

well, we are oil producer and oil is major contribution to the country, so that all make sense. Furthermore, 1MDB has serious problem on integrity which can lead to serious "asset quality issue" (if we look at a country in a whole as an asset). So for me, degrading of RM makes good sense actually. Lets see how they manage the 1MDB issue, and see how oil price going forward.
