If your assertion for stock market investment is gambling. Then FD also a form of gambling, there are still probability that bank will default on the interest payment, like what happened in Greeks "haircut"

Even holding cash is also a form of gambling, we will not know what happen tomorrow to our economy. Our currency may devalue against other currency and reduce our purchasing power. Nothing is certain in every form of assets right?

Decades ago, the market treats gold as a safe assets and only will go up. But this is proven as wrong assumption as gold has dropped in value in recent years.

However, market still assume MGS is risk free assets. As government can print money when it want to bail the country's economy out.

None of any assets is certain right?

Life is also a gamble, for example when you decide to cross a road..

But then again, you can reduce the risk significantly, but not write it off completely, when you look left and right before crossing.

Same with any other investment..

Left and right no car coming

Then someone throw a washing machine from the apartment unit above...

From my point of view, the safest assets is wheat, rice commodity. No matter in what situation, mankind still needs food to stay alive. However, they are perishable.

In war time, even canned foods and ikan masin are worth more than any form of assets.

can go straight forward juz direct TIPZ and what u buy....


I will follow YOU.

I vote for...Nestle! U pokai, eat Maggi. How pokai also, Milo still can drink...cos tasty and can fill tummy

But I observe recent trend of financial announcements...

MOST if not all companies reported higher expenses, and their revenue increase (IF ANY) cannot cover the increase, hence reduced earnings.

Slowdown...signalled

meh????

That might a problem, I reckon.

Don't like his companies....

I do agree.

Everything is a gamble.

There's no investment that carries absolutely zero risk.

Well high growth (via debt/leverage) can be double edged sword... if everything goes well and the economy supports it, it can produce excellent results. If not, then it will crash and burn under the weight of all the debts.

Many examples of companies on both sides of the sword.
