P/E Ratio: It's Not A Crystal Ball
By Investopedia Staff

What goes up ... well, sometimes it stays up for an awfully long time.

A common mistake among beginning investors is the short selling of stocks because they have a high P/E ratio. If you aren't familiar with short selling, it's an investing technique by which an investor can make money when a shorted security falls in value. (For more on this, check out the Short Selling tutorial.)

First of all, we believe that novice investors shouldn't be shorting. Secondly, you can get into a lot of trouble by valuing stocks using only simple indicators such as the P/E ratio. Although a high P/E ratio could mean that a stock is overvalued, there is no guarantee that it will come back down anytime soon. On the flip side, even if a stock is undervalued, it could take years for the market to value it in the proper way.

Security analysis requires a great deal more than understanding a few ratios. While the P/E is one part of the puzzle, it's definitely not a crystal ball.

Sorry, I don't know,...I think "most" forummers here also don't know if there is this thing...

Simple math...

Add up the P/E of all the stocks inside the fund...

Then proportion it...

Now, go try!

Sometimes we have to be confident of the things we knew...

Like we all eat rice our entire lives, and there are many grades of rice in the market, and we can differentiate what we were eating. And yet when 'news' of plastic rice appeared, people got worried...

Also a new player here...wanna ask if 1k is a very low investment? We wont be seeing any difference with this amount of investment? Thanks.

to some people RM 1000 can feed a family for a month...NEVER look down on monies...
you can use it to have a hands on, on the emotional aspect of UT investing....

I think some funds allows initial minimum investment amount of RM 100 too
goto FUNDS INFO/FUNDS SELECTOR...after selected the parameters....click generate table....
after that list came out.....click FUND INFO TABLE....
the min amount is stated there

Invest 1k every month is very good. If you can't afford that, then 1k every quarter.
The key is: do not sell your fund for quick profit, and then immediately spend all the profit.

who say 1k very low investment

Final countdown begins @ Greece.....

Anyone interested?

really? haha i thought you wouldn't get much return with that amount.
So should I invest now despite the economy situation now? Should I buy RHB-OSK Asian Income Fund or Eastspring Investments Balanced Fund as recommended?

So if I want to see huge profit i have to invest more?

Yea there are indeed some minimum investment amount. I just think that 1k may not be able to create a diversified portfolio.

For RM 1k start up, better invest in one of the star funds.

Agreed with heaven.33, RM 1k is not enough to create a portfolio.
