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.

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.

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   

we'll see if this valuecap will be able to keep prices high or simply allow foreigners to get out at better prices.

seems no effect on rm today.

notice epf is in there?

so PNB, EPF & Khazanah equally "own" ValueCap 

I know where 

Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB), state-owned Employees Pension Fund (EPF) and Khazanah Nasional Berhad.

Yeah just read about it.
My EPF Money!!!!!!!!!!

1.00 USD  =  4.21 MYR

1.00 SGD  =  3.01 MYR
from 4.30 to 4.21 in 1 day 

I wonder what unker Dreamer would say about the bolded part 

No, he will say : even with the slightest chance that the RM would experience something near to a miracle and it DOES bounce back significantly in the next ten years, you will still have your EPF savings, and your natural active income in RM with you.

BUT : if the RM dos not rebound strongly in the next ten years, you would thank him for alerting you to diversify.

With the above strategy : You would have covered both ends of the eventualities.

If your RM strengthen to 3.80 tomorrow, you will be able to enjoy your EPF and your natural active income in RM. You will still have these, and I would think many of you will still have your rental income and perhaps KLSE share dividends too, ALL in the stronger RM.

Hansel,

Why is it so hard for people  to understand a simple concept like DIVERSIFICATION??

Do not put all your eggs into ONE basket.

Common sense is highly uncommon.

Unker, why you ask other people a time frame, when you yourself don't give a time frame when Malaysia economy is crashing ?

Ya, he is more like a politician, when cornered, he will answer "I have stated what you asked, the answer is somewhere in my 100 pages thread...". Never a direct simple answer. Makes a debate never ending

I understand politician trying to survive and has to give such answers

But I don't understand what has he got to lose by giving clear answer. The conclusion I made is he has an ego bigger than a watermelon in his stomach. He can't swallow a single mistake even in the cyberworld where nobody knew him. Maybe he feels he has offended too many people in the past and 1 mistake he makes will be the end of his life in LYN

Only dead and tax is certainty in life. Even doctor can't tell when his terminally ill patient is going to die exactly.

Doctors do give a time frame based on their experience. Not exact date, but like "another 1 year", "six months" etc

If a doctor give a patient 1 year to live, does it matter if he dies in 6 or 24 months?

Folks,

In regards to USD/MYR, some powerful people want TPPA to pass.  Hence, it will force USD to drop against all those commodity export countries while TPPA being tabled and passed by those countries.

The question that you need to ask in term of Malaysia is after TPPA is passed, what will happen to USD/MYR??

50+% of KLSE is owned by GLC and GLIC.  TPPA is a free trade agreement.  So, some of the GLCs will lose protection to some degree.  Meanwhile, US companies will gain at some degree.  So, net-net, USD will gain against MYR after TPPA is passed.

In summary, this is a good opportunity for people to get out of this basket before TPPA is passed.

they have so much "power" until can make MYR "stronger" & make BolehLand leaders to sign TPPA
