U can perform realignment of portfolios by assigning perhaps 1% as risky

Eventhough there is a blast in Thailand, their economy still strong compare to MY.

Malaysia incidents is worse than Thailand blast...(football flare , 1 Em Dee Bi , 2.6 billion rice ...etc etc)

Quite true.

Global investors judge everyone, nobody is special.

Topside billions sonlgap scandals and more importantly the high tolerance and even support displayed is not taken lightly outside.

Brazil's national oil co. Petrobras billions scandal caused it to be rated junk today.

Tks Will,... I will do that provided that :-

1) The risk/return reward is worth it, but for a reducing 6.40% per year, allocating even 1% of my portfolio for it needs to be thought about carefully, AND

1) I don't have any other avenues that could provide me a better return.

think u got ur answer there already. since u called ASX ur 'single biggest problem'.

Tq,.. I was watching Bloomberg the other night and I saw the words : Brazil on the brink. Today I saw Brazil has been rated 'Junk'. Now I know the reason.

Could Brazil recover from its present conditions n stand up again in anticipation of Rio 2016 Olympics?

Malaysia’s ringgit fell to its lowest in more than 17 years as a renewed selloff in stocks and Brazil’s rating cut reignited concern capital will flow out of emerging markets as the U.S. prepares to raise interest rates.

Thanks for sharing, but I just feel like I've been reading the same article again and again for months now.

Volatility, capital flight, Fed "potential" interest rate hike, bear market etc.

Seriously I think you could take one article from 3-4 months back, change the date and post it and no one would see the difference. It's as though the journalists have nothing else to talk about and just recycle the same things.

It's like watching those Korean dramas with the same storyline over and over again.

isn't the same with this thread? uncle dreamer keep bashing asx, epf - repeating the same thing over and over till a point of annoyance

Reason being pipu enjoy the same thing over and over again. Aunties enjoy the korean drama, Unker dreamer enjoy bashing ASx, and we enjoy watching the drama, with popcorn of course.



..

well the reporter needed to "cari makan" lor.. so they need to write something even if the info are recycle over n over again

Somebody noticed what is happening actually

ikanbilis,

The question should be why the DUMMIES still buy ASx?? And, since they are still doing it, they deserved to be reminded again and again how DUMB that decision is.

Which Country Will Devalue Their Currency Next? Libya, Equatorial Guinea and Oman

Surprisingly MYR deem neutral...

think you've already made your point. up to them to decide on what to do. and name calling is so childish. sometimes I wonder why the mods don't do anything about you. in addition, there are more people who has lost money on other UT and stocks as compared to those invest in ASx.

Actually it is not something too surprise, as Malaysia fundamental may not top notch like Sg but it is not too bad either.

That's right ! Everybody must be given a chance to make a living and survive.

this is an informative article about currencies oil exporting countries at this time.

perhaps.... can say:

.. msia with "strong fundamentals" is right in the center.
.. devalued russian ruble and to a lesser extent, vietnamese dong having devalued right after chinese rmb, are now stronger.
.. brunei is vulnerable but currency is pegged to sgd, will be interesting to watch.
.. msia's debt/gdp is on par with or worse than many african countries.



still, all commodity economies will not have it easy for a long time to come going by this article:

Let him be lah. He is like that. Just ignore him if you don't like his comment. He can voice his view as many times as he likes, and you can also ignore him as many times as you like. Unless he tagged you then you report him for baiting

Be confident with your own investment. If you are confident, what others say is just jokes to you.

I give you a joke now. I think unker is correct this time
