wanna ask... do unit trust have lot size like stocks

I tried DCFA before, but found it impractical, as we have to make many assumptions. Many of those assumptions will eventually turn out to be wrong. Well, maybe DCFA is more suitable for stable companies which don't change much.

PEG? Cash in hand?

OK, looking to open an FSM account, as I can't find cheap stocks in Bursa.
- what documents required?
- what other thing to be aware of?

noob quesion:
How do I know if a fund is overpriced/underpriced?

It doesn't matter when the oil price will go up. What matter is: when it does go up, you can tell people, "You see, I was right!"

Well, I think there are two types of comparison:
1) compare funds of certain region from different fund managers
2) compare funds of different region from one fund manager

Both are ok, right?

Every Saturday?
Just submitted my application, waiting for them to activate my account...

UT is for international exposure mah... I am still investing in Bursa, but you know, there are few cheap stocks now...

Speaking of Malaysian funds, the first thing which comes to my mind is iCapital. But I don't trust TTB...

Koalaland outlook good?
AFAIK, China slow down will affect mining industry down under. And its car industry will cease to exist in a few years.

Toyota Motor Corp. (7203) will stop building cars in Australia in 2017, spelling the end of the local industry after Ford Motor Co. (F) and General Motors Co. (GM) announced last year they also plan to pull out.

The Japanese company, which started making cars in the country in 1963, cited high manufacturing costs, an elevated Australian dollar and low economies of scale. Toyota has 2,500 manufacturing employees in the country, it said in an e-mailed statement today.

Toyota’s decision marks the end of an Australian car industry that traces its roots to 1901, as a fall in trade tariffs, the small scale of local plants and an Australian dollar that surged almost 50 percent against the U.S. currency from 2009 to 2012 pushed consumers to cheaper imports. Ford said in May that it would stop output in October 2016, while GM’s Holden unit announced a 2017 departure in December.

“Once Ford and Holden went, it was always going to be hard for the last one to survive,” said Stephen Walters, JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s chief economist in Australia, citing the strength of the currency, small scale of local production and high costs. “There will be spillover effects in terms of employment lost in the car industry itself and related industries.”

I buy Malaysian stocks, but also invest in foreign fund. (Just started )
No time to study foreign stocks, so rely on fund managers lor...

I know little about asset allocation and portfolio management. Any good reference books to read?

How about retiring in Vietnam What is the cost?
HCMC would be expensive. Maybe in Can Tho, a mid-sized city in Mekong Delta. Or maybe in Hoi An, Central Vietnam

Your recommended fund - I bought my 1st batch 2 weeks ago. Now the gain is 3.8%.

I thought bull charges forward, bear hibernates. That's where we have these two descriptions.
