very good if no hike for this year

DCI is the darling place right now.

Unker,

By shifting your "time frame" (ie "from now until end of year" to "from beginning of the year to year end"), you have made the comparison more to your advantage. Glad that you indirectly acknowledge time frame is important to make a comparison (and also prediction) and gives different outcome.

From here, the question will be : why you only compare from beginning of the year ? Why not extend further to year 2008 to now ? Or even from year 2000 to now ?

So, it is obvious that by setting different "time frame", the comparison of deposit rates and forex between USD vs RM will have very different results

That's why I say "time frame" is very important in prediction (and also comparison like yours above).

he will say 'no more oil money!!!!'. lol

Showtime747,

The past is gone. So, let's see whether ASx holders are making a wise decision by staying in ASx between NOW and end of the year.

veli bad decision

no rate hike is good also - sg reit prices will gain a couple of % next week.


hansel will miss bigtime!

Wow, Pak Cik Bermimpi is here

*popcorn*

Unker,

I am surprised by you not making anymore excuses but keep your initial prediction.

Very gentlemanly

Let see how it turns out. And see who is dummy

LOL!

You should go to play a role in ruling gov la... like playing recording tape.

Hansel aiming for long term. So more units /SGD that he can buy.

no ler...

if no rate hike soon or indefinitely, usd will weaken.

sgd gets a little stronger, he'll get even less units with usd.

Not necessary leh, boss.

Job market no good --> economy no good --> US stock market down --> SGX down

Job market no good --> Fed won't raise rates --> USD down --> Other currency including RM up

if no hike for the year, all those foreigner money would come back?

alternatively.... job market no good->no rate hike->stocks improve->sgx stocks also improve.

all reports say $ are still fleeing emerging markets.

where does the money go? us bonds, developed markets... sgx too?

Showtime747,

It is all relative.

USD may weaken. But, if RM weaken even more, RM may go down further against USD.

Please note that Malaysia economy and RM is highly dependent on Oil price. So, if US economy goes down, oil demand may go down further and put more downward pressure on oil price.

In any case, if a person invest the WHOLE WORLD, it would not matter.

Malaysia is doomed because low oil money. MYR become banana currency.

but no worries, got dummies to "help" to "cover" the "hole"

Alredy finished 1/2 of my popcorn now
