wah - U also bottom-line it to 1,200? me too.
hehe - great minds think alike... or hopefully not fools flock together.

anyhow, personally, i'll start baiting my hooks if KLCI hits below 1,400
and start fish bombing below 1,200

oops... rm weakening again... 4.1077.

more like some petrol tax to fund the budget deficit and all the "u-know-what" goodies.

i will not be surprised if some petrol or fuel tax will emerge in 2016 budget.

I doubt there's such people in UxxO who have such good qualities.. all I see songlap kaki only

unless they take from "outside" like from corporate world

When Petrolnas export, we export in USD, when convert back to RM at 4.16, it is very favorable.

i just took a fresh look at the chart after putting in all the variables.
http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/USDMYR:CUR
u can pair as many as u like.

from that bloomberg fx chart, in the last 1 yr, against usd, from best to worst among the selected currencies:

chinese renminbi ("pegged", post devaluation)
thai baht
sing dollar
euro
japanese yen
korean won
indon rupiah
new zealand dollar
aussie dollar
malaysian ringgit

it is curious how come the thai baht is so strong?
big beneficiary of cheap oil?
thai exports exploding? (yes, i know and have visited some monster size rubber glove and food factories there)
bigger and bigger tourism $?

The Bank of Thailand has likely intervened at times to keep the baht stronger to try to avert capital outflows amid concerns about an expected U.S. Federal Reserve rate increase, said Charl Kengchon, managing director at Kasikorn Research. Such a move by the Fed could spark fund outflows from emerging markets such as Thailand, where bondholdings by overseas investors total as much as 600 billion baht ($18.38 billion), added Mr. Charl.

The country’s current-account surplus and large holdings of U.S. dollars have contributed to the baht’s relative strength in the region. The Thai central bank’s reserves of foreign currency declined to $155.4 billion by the end of January compared with $166.8 billion in January of last year, according to the Bank of Thailand.

We seem to be quite good with "bottoms"!

Thailand... Better the exporters complain rather than the rest of the people cry and suffer.

Yeah... We are No 1, ranked from the bottom!

Major currencies (India, Canada, NZ, Australia) also dropped against strengthening greenback. It is a global issue, as USA FED going to hike 1st interest rate in 9  years. So, don't ever trust 100% photoshop EDIT u saw in social networking, ok?
Be rational and critical thinking mind. Have a great day.

Cannot elaborate, always links the person to mangali, mca, bn and so on names called. Be rational and smart critical thinking mind. Have a great day.

just ignore la... u can't teach a D who's sure it's dem smart. not yr loss, ok?

Showtime bro, are you able to do a list like above by using RM vs other currency?  This will be very informational. 

Yeah, very informative with many currencies dropped against strengthening greenback.. Many countries are in currency war to depreciate their currencies, to boost competitive EXPORTS and tourism. Thanks for the great information, that linked it to strengthening greenback with 1st interest rate hike by USA FED soon.

Cannot elaborate, akways linked person to mangali, macai and other so on names called. Or whether maths in spm got a pass or not, it is not yr problem. Be rational and critical thinking mind. U already describes yrself here.  Cuurency wars are happening. Perhaps, do more reading will helps than name calling. Still never learn? KNS..

He kena brainwashed ady. Someone needs to crank open his head and press the reset button. Haha

Always cannot elaborate, hence links to macai, mangali, and so on names calling. You are very "SMART" with yr good maths grade in SPM.
Kid, Your teacher must be very "proud" of you since you wrote nice wordings here.. Keep yr good effort and later, always cannot elaborate,
play finger pointing blame game or nice photoshop EDIT .  Hope LYN members trusted 100% yr game and photoshop.

Great job for newbie.    But, still cannot elaborate why the world are playing currency wars.
1) Boost competitive EXPORTS and TOURISM  business.
2) Ppls will save more money in Bank, as they will HOLD any purchase other than basic need.
    If you want to purchase new smartphone and with weaker currency, you want hold and delay the plan.
    Hence, more cashflow in hand.
