The equity portion of my portfolio dropped 4.5% in total... mainly from China exposure.

At this moment is 60% China; 40% Tech Sector.

My Manulife China is now down -10.41%. My other China linked funds are down an average -7.77% to -3.5%.

It is not inconceivable that my funds could go down to -20% or more. I am planning to buy more during this market correction. Mega sales have started.

As Peter Lynch said,

“Now no one seems to know when they are gonna happen. At least if they know about ‘em, they’re not telling anybody about ‘em. I don’t remember anybody predicting the market right more than once, and they predict a lot. So they’re gonna happen. If you’re in the market, you have to know there’s going to be declines. And they’re going to happen every couple of years you’re going to get a 10 percent correction. That’s a euphemism for losing a lot of money rapidly. That’s what a “correction” is called. And a bear market is 20-25-30 percent decline.

They’re gonna happen. When they’re gonna start, no one knows. If you’re not ready for that, you shouldn’t be in the stock market. I mean the stomach is the key organ here. It’s not the brain. Do you have the stomach for these kinds of declines? And what’s your timing like? Is your horizon one year? Is your horizon ten years or 20 years?

What the market’s going to do in one or two years, you don’t know. Time is on your side in the stock market.”

some interesting figures.....depending on what you bought just before the China Sell off starts....

may end up having too heavy % of allocation in your portfolio?

My 2 cents view is that using the Value Averaging Method is the best strategy forward for the next few months.  We don't know whether the China market is entering into a free fall or how long it is going to last. It could last a few weeks, a few months or a few years.

This is the time when we separate the men from the boys. Definitely not for the faint hearted to invest now.

Don't curse me-lah. I am still topping up my China linked funds. 

But I have no wrap account. So I have to do the poor man's version of the wrap account to avoid paying the sales charges. The transactions are still "hanging" in cyberspace.

For EU funds, best bet is global titan?

I guess during the sell offs we should do top ups of 10 % (1000-1000-1000-1000........) each day and enjoy the entire ride , and smile after everything is over

sometimes, for some markets....the drops takes longer to goes up....if top up, top up, top up...until pocket kosong it still not yet reach bottom
ex...Shanghai index peak 1 Oct 2007, bottomed at Oct 2008
Nasdaq (Dot com) index peaked Mar 2000, bottomed at Oct 2002
Nikkei index peaked in 1990, bottomed in 2003
