There is no single good news on RM. internal and external factors all unfavorable. Can't see any resolve at all. Most importantly confidence is dwindling. when investors think rm is hopeless, then all hell break loose.

Hopeless management of our economy doh.gif

even the sgd strengthened from 2.78 to 2.8 today!
well, i think i have asked twice in this thread, "name one major thing that will help strengthen the rm".

the only right answer i read in all the posts was GST.

yeah, u get flimsy answers like increased exports and increase tourist $... but the data shows otherwise.

the rm problem is due to very bad politics driving bad economics.

keep supporting the bad politics, you will get worse economics.

msians can be blind and deaf but foreign investors and foreign bond holders are not.

please debunk me with good arguments and data. tongue.gif

Haha what a joke cheap RM will increase export and attract tourist. If so, Zimbabwe is the no. 1 tourist nation tongue.gif Now even tourist fear coming to Malaysia because of political uncertainty and hostile racial tension like lowyat mall incident

This low RM benefits tourist and export is brought up by the BN Macai netmask. Just showed how low level the macai come up with the argument doh.gif

The issue is the USD is also strengthening on its own. Not just the Ringgit falling. So changing to the USD may not be the right thing to do since very soon the US Gov will act to lower the USD. Nobody wants a very strong currency.

I think the best choice for exchange would be the Euro, AUD or SGD.

What's the best place to change such currency? I used to get staff rates at Western Union and changed a small amount to Euro a few months back at 3.93. How I wish I had changed more.

Good point on USD

But Euro, Aud and Sgd have their own issues. Euro is printing money. Aud prospect depend on china which is gloomy and they may cut rates further. Sgd GDP is in minus territory.

To me, it is a gamble that could go both ways

For me to change physical currency, google the money changer located near your place and call them to ask for the rates. Usually if you change more, they can give better rates. Can try mid valley, Sg wang and those with a lot of traffic usually their rates are better

If look at trade deficit, current account deficit, Aud fundamental is actually quite weak.

There is no "safe" currencies at the moment, every currencies has its own issues and problem, except USD.
Even for so called "inflation hedge" gold also has its own downward pressure.

Nowhere to hide...  laugh.gif

That's why USD is "super" strong now, as "nowhere to hide".
Now nobody talk about trillion of debt of US, but only interest hike.  whistling.gif

Sometimes, we are too pre-occupied with what type of currencies to hold.

Maybe our attention has been distorted in a environment of uncertainty in the currencies, instead of focusing on the actual investment tools

Eg. if we can find a RM investment which gives a return of 15%, vs a US$ investment which gives return of 3%, then maybe both investments are still on par at the end of 1 year.

It is the overall return of currency+investment that counts.

when it involve unknowns and therefore risks, it surely is a gamble! biggrin.gif

my take is aud is the one to avoid; looking like falling further.
few reasons for this one to appr until their iron ore sales to china increase again.
further int rate cuts is possible.
usd strength will continue until we see the first rate hike in sep or dec. it is the expectation of this that is driving the $ bulls.
if by year end there is no hike, it may be seen as the fed is unconvinced it is time to hike; the $ bulls will retreat, i believe.
so, between now and dec, i expect the $ to stay strong.

sgd is probably the best overall bet. mas may let it float around a wider band but has enough muscle to keep it to an an optimal level for sg economy like it always does. i see this one depr marginally with usd but will gain on the rm for a long time.

happy buying or selling foreign currencies! tongue.gif

But cybermaster has a point. US$ cannot appreciate indefinitely. There must be a limit until their economy will be hurt.

But at the moment, I agree with you. US$ and S$ still the best bet

Changing into RM = profits. After that, it's up to me whether i want to convert again or buy AUD or anything in future. I do not need to explain how i manage my monies, who are you to judge my monies? I am shocked to see an elite member acting in an idiotic ways.

Whether it does make sense or not, it's my monies. I can or may do anything to my monies. I do not need your instructions or questions and i definitely would not change my mind just because of your ironic questions. Stop dreaming

Till here, We stop.

Imagine this company :

1. The biggest boss was found to receive "commission"
2. Other bosses make noise.
3. Then the big boss sack the second boss from the board of directors
4. The managers who have the documents and information all kena investigated by the HR department
5. The chairman of the internal Audit Committee is transferred to be a senior manager, so the Committee cannot function anymore
6. The External Auditor is sacked and replaced by big boss' man
7. Other bosses formed into 2 factions, the managers taking sides and fight against each other

Can the company function any more ? Do the bosses care about the business and profits or their own position ? What will happen to their share price ?

Just prepare cash after this lor.. now a lot of young ppl so hardup to buy house. After this, a lot of companies are going to do badly. Many companies will cut down expenses and unemployment rate will go up. What do you think happens if unemployment goes up? people start to cut down expenses and spend less. Those who might lose their jobs cant sleep in peace every night cause they think about house loan, children's education, putting food on the table, etc. Mind you that the unemployment rate has been slowly creeping up even though our country is still having a comfortable GDP increment of 4.5%.

Imagine what happens if we have only a 1.2-2% GDP.. Our neighbours (Singapore,Thailand,India, etc) have all increased their interest rates to stem the flow of foreign money outflows. Bank Negara have not even started using interest rates to counter outflows yet. For people like you and me, it will be good if you have a lot of savings in the bank as banks are desperate for deposits and any increments in interest rates will see your deposits slowly grow. However, if you have a lot of debts compared to deposits and you still day dreaming.. better be careful, any increase in interest rates + unemployment + less bonus + less increment is going to be like a lawn mower, chewing you up on the inside..

All 3 countries bolded above has been reducing interest rate recently

AUD rises. Everybody has been expecting RBA to reduce the interest rate further and AUD further weaken. Then BANG !! RBA governor suddenly says he is comfortable with the current interest rate and will keep at that level, and immediately AUD appreciated

So unpredictable. Anything could happen. And can happen over-night. Like if 1 bomb in middle east, then oil rises, then everything change immediately sweat.gif

yep, the oz one was good.

people expected a rate cut but the central banker stood firm, displayed confidence, people bought it.

zeti spoke several times, nobody bought it. why?

maybe too many big questions unanswered, u know what questions. tongue.gif

Ya its not about fundamental. Malaysia's economy is much more promising than australia. But our RM valuation is in a mess ! Until our A+ governor's word become tak boleh pakai. Because the whole world no more confidence in the managers handling the economy

Wow I am surprised those in charge knew they themselves are the problem tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif

So, we should not talk about current account surplus, GDP growth, inflation, fiscal measure like GST and subsidy....those data has no bearing. 1 thing will overwrite all - TRUST deficit.

Throw all the economics textbook out into the paper bin. We only need to find somebody who is trustworthy and everything kao tim Ringgit back to 3.00 tongue.gif
