QUOTE(AVFAN @ Aug 1 2015, 04:17 PM) Locally, the risk we face is Petronas will pay gomen less and less revenues in the next few years. With jibby holding tight on the steering wheel, question is how fast will gst and other taxes need to rise to fund the usual spending. Doesn't look pretty to me, incl the RM. So the idea of keeping some savings in strong fx to prevent hard earned money from rm erosion is sound.  Agreed, better to save in foreign currency at the moment. I've only got my FDs left which mature in October ... remaining transfer from FCA to cover monthly expenses / credit card bills  |

My ETFs (mostly GBP denominated) are looking painful these last weeks!

Haven't been here for a while.
Decided to hold off on topping up my regular portfolio for 2 months, so will be a 3 month amount in one go or more by the looks of it once there's a good dip!
At least USD is looking pretty strong, which is good.

QUOTE(aspartame @ May 21 2016, 08:10 PM) I read that if we invest in US stocks, dividends are subject to 30% tax. Isn't it less attractive compared to local stocks? For individual stocks this is the case - for index funds / ETFs we can use products domiciled elsewhere with agreement to reduce this to 15% (which Ireland domiciled) Trading on the US market can't really be compared to local Bursa - better liquidity, bigger choice, lower fees etc. If you're investing locally in products (eg UT) which have US stocks as underlying assets the dividend withholding tax will be paid somewhere also. |
