For the helpful forummers here who carry a view that the ASM is still viable, please visit your branches asap if you wished to top-up or open booklet. I have made some divestments !

Good luck !

Hi.... I'm not a good role model. I have a very pessimistic and defensive 'what if this happens' and 'what if that happens' attitude. I tend to 'over-do' my due diligence too much. At the slightest smell of risk, I will disengage.

langstrasse,

He has 8 to 10 millions worth of investment and fair amount of that in Singapore.  As long as he does not lose his money, he has more than enough.  So, please bear this in mind when you read his post.

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.

I observe one thing. whenever there's school holiday, MYR would get even weaker & sometimes break new record high 
I guess that's what happening today 

it's always calm before the storm.

i am watching china's data for next few weeks/months. i see that driving commodities prices and hence currencies.

even fed/usd appears mindful of that.
interesting observation. is it true?

my take is 1/3 sees no effect/dun care, 1/3 feel the pain but accept quietly and 1/3 agonizing/struggling.

imported inflation has only just started; by early next year, that may change dramatically.

the bad news is even if rm goes <4.0 later next year, i can't see how consumer prices will come down - they never do.

People who are used to it:
1 It doesn't affect them (yet) or they think it doesn't affect them.
2 Too rich to care.

I'm definitely not used to seeing a 17k imac.
