Ya I agree with you. Direction is there (that malaysia is heading for a tough time), but claiming the economy is doomed and will never recover is too extreme. That is too negative.

As a good investor, we should not write any possibilities off and bet everything in 1 go. The world is so fluid. Everything is possible. By "Sai Lang" on an extreme belief, these extreme investors are putting all their money in a 1 way traffic. If the direction changes, they could not take advantage of changing tides

I suspect unker dreamer has made a "Sai Lang" bet a few years ago. He wants to see his decision was right to prove to himself he is not wrong. Hence his extreme view. Just my guess 

Showtime747 likes to ask other people to predict exact time but he never predict a precise time himself.

U.s is still the largest oil producer in the world.

Idling shale oil production doesn't take long to reactive, oil price is unlikely to sustain over $60.

that is well known.

not only props but car loans, credit cards and personal loans for furniture, weddings, tv's, ipads, holidays.

so, here we are - the rm falls hard when the wind blows.
as we speak, 4.300.
