QUOTE(markpsp @ Aug 26 2015, 07:44 AM) Heys, actually, I've already disposed all my shares early this year. I don't mind not making these few months cause parking everything in PBB's FD is safe and risk free. True enough, market went down by so much. I'm targetting 1k-1.2k in Bursa index. With your doom and gloom view on RM and Malaysia economy, why do you still consider any investment in RM ?Propertywise, 2017 will be good to buy, as 2013 was our peak and many of the launches are expected to be completed in 2016. However, I'll have to buy next year, might lose a bit but because I have no choice (due to personal reasons). Let's just say, I got very strong reason to believe that market go down the next few years. Sorry, can't reveal my sources, but my contacts come from one of the largest investment banks in the world. Anyway enjoy the bumpy road downwards. See you guys at 1k-1.2k. That's why I am suggesting you putting in your application to migrate. There are many better choices for you |

QUOTE(Mr Gray @ Aug 30 2015, 08:42 AM) Everybody should really stop this name-calling, it's uncalled for. You disagree with me, argue with fact, don't simply say dummy, stupid whatever. Bro I agree that it is uncalled for. And I also often disagree with unker dreamer's style of writingBut on this occasion, I really can't find another better adjective to described what you have said. Unker is just telling the truth |

QUOTE(Ramjade @ Aug 30 2015, 09:03 PM) Dreamer, what good is holding usd in cash? It won't generate anymore usd. Isn't it better for someone to buy us shares or something or have something which can generate returns in usd? If you have lost confidence in malaysian banks, ideally you should open a offshore bank accountMaybe you could make a tutorial on say opening a US FD with a US bank from malaysia instead of US FD offered by malaysian banks (that way your money is not stuck in malaysia). That will be more helpful to the average malaysian who does not want to try out shares. If you can do that, I am sure lots of people will be interested. But for small time investors, it may not be cost effective/too troublesome/offshore banks reject you. So for share investment in the meantime you can always use local share trading platform to invest in overseas shares. It is denominated in foreign currencies and thus takes care of the RM depreciation concern. As for FD, there is such unit trust as fixed income fund in RM. Is there fixed income fund for USD or other forex ? Anyway, US FD interest rate is extremely low. Maybe you can research on the local unit trust for US govt bond fund ? |

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Aug 31 2015, 03:41 PM) bersih over, gomen belittles it. Hope you are right. I lost hope on RM. If can stay at this level, very good liao. If drop further, not surprised also 1mdb, etc. no longer investigated. bijan and co. in charge with iron grip. no major variable moving rm. i think will hanging around 4.20 for some weeks. might see some significant change with budget 2016 in oct. but good also... importers, stockists, traders can now go about doing biz at 4.20 without the volatility. just raise price by 10, 20, 30%. |

QUOTE(dreamer101 @ Aug 31 2015, 09:06 PM) Showtime747, If ASx is defaulted (gone), there will certainly be a simultaneous "bank run" for ASB as the holders will also be panic. Both funds are ultimately originated from the government. if the government is bankrupt, all their funds will be goneASx will be gone long before ASB. ASB will be the last to go. In fact, THE GOVERNMENT may still pay ASB dividend even it is bankrupted due to political reason. Dreamer |

QUOTE(yolldddd @ Sep 3 2015, 09:10 PM) The problem is arguing here who is more inteligent is pointless as nothing will change. Better channel that energy to look for more money like what hong kong people is doing as they exchange rate is 7.75 even worst then us! instead of giving excuse and whining here as it will help nobody. Hahaha champion, why use Hong Kong if your argument is like that ? Use Japan, Korea or Taiwan and suddenly Malaysia become champion ! |

I have leant a lot through many insightful replies from many forummers here in this 100+ pages thread, allowing me to see beyond the numbers like 3.0, 3.6 and 4.2
Along the way, we have 2 or 3 forummers who obviously have their own agenda with Macai characteristics and I am glad they are of the minority. I just treat them as the clowns in a circus show I don't think the RM depreciation will end soon. It has many interesting development waiting for unfolding. We are witnessing history live |

QUOTE(Binyamin @ Sep 4 2015, 10:21 AM) Yeah like a sovereign debt crisis. We will most likely default, life will still go on though not to worry. In all fairness, I think malaysia is in better shape than Greece. We have most of our sovereign debt in RM, not USD (although there are about 30-35% holdings by foreigner) and we still are in charge of our own monetary policy. Our trouble will be the same reason why Greece got into trouble when they converted their debts to euro when they join the European union. Just that ours is in USD. Disaster will happen if the manager of our economy continue the same fiscal policy and do not exercise prudence in spending. Over long run, we will have the same fate of Greece. Just that we have a few more monetary tools than Greece to use |
