QUOTE(cf kaki @ Sep 29 2015, 12:02 PM) They hadly invest in Malaysia company as what i know because of the economic landscape. their main project is mainly in China which to my knowledge even if i want to invest in a company i will strongly consider China due to their economic landscape and importantly is their populations. What do you think is good about the China economic landscape?There is a saying in business term by smart Boss. "we don't look for money, but we look for peoples, because people carry money and money doesn't walk" hahah |

QUOTE(cf kaki @ Sep 29 2015, 02:15 PM) All i can summarized about China economic landscape is "Buying Power". On top of that, look at their economy policy, even i get to know they are in the midst of placing their currency into "SDR Basket - Special Drawing Rights". If they succeed, China is going to be Asia big boy. Just curious, since nowadays the Chinese economy is mostly seen to be in bad shape.http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/2a902ec0-6596-11...l#axzz3n6WZ5GrS SDR Basket is where top major currency in the world currently is US Dollar, Euro Dollar, Japanese Yen and Pound Sterling. I'm not really good in explaining how it works, but the simplest way is their currency will be "freely usable". For example: if you trade forex, you will see few main currency against other currency for example: Major Pair >> EURUSD. I hope my explanation is right la. https://www.imf.org/external/np/fin/data/rms_sdrv.aspx So, if this occurred, i could foresee their economic will stay healthy even now still they are. Therefore, i think by investing into private equities into certain China Companies will be a benefits. China government even promoting their Private Equity or i would say foreign investment into their country and its transparent. http://www.eatonpartnersllc.com/wsj-privat...ve-and-eric-gu/ Compared to Malaysia economic landscape. I really malas wanna share so much information here and i believe everybody would have already knows what holds our economy back by now right? In investment i prefer to use facts finding and logical approach This is entirely based on my view and understanding. i'm not an public expert in economic scenery in Malaysia but rather a wise and logic investor who ride with the trend to make money I hope my views answered your questions and please do forgive me if we have different view because human have different thinking n view. Thats why we only have 1 warren buffet. hahahah |

I can see these risks for crowdfunding a relatively new company that mainly invests in overseas companies:
1 Risk that the company is more of a scam than an actual investment company (since they have no long track record, there are many scams around) 2 Risk that the investments they make are no good (since they have no long track record) 3 Currency risk (if the currency of the country they invest in appreciates compared to the Ringgit) |

QUOTE(cf kaki @ Oct 1 2015, 04:29 PM) totally agree with your statements. However it all depends on your personal reflections and understanding on the company you plan to invest. Yes, after determining the potential risk factors you can apply a risk rating to each of these factors.1. A scam company is more towards something like selling a virtual shares, telling you they plan to be listed but its an empty company which most of the victims never intend to find out. This is also because few had approached me for example company like "M-XXXX" which doesn't justify me on how the shares works. 2. Track records actually important too. However, i would prefer on business that have a huge potential instead of track record. Eversince Lehman Brother Financial institution collapse i dont really judge a company through their history and track record. I start to judge based on potential and the market they're in. 3. Currency risks is what we counted in as external factor. Things for sure is that, end of the day, it depends on which country and what is their economic's like before we invest. Talked about Ringgit. this is the saddest thing i've seen in my life. I think at least by end of next year we pray hard our Ringgit can stay back at RM 3.8 to 1 USD. We need to find out the facts first before invest bro Then you need to estimate a return and determine if it is worth to put money into this investment knowing your risk. |

QUOTE(robertchoo @ Nov 4 2015, 04:41 PM) One more thing to note is that equity crowdfunding may or may not (usually may not) have a tenor. That means you can't sell your portion of equity until the company is listed or until you can find another person to take over from you. Because borrowers are mainly SMEs, it takes a very long time for them to be either listed or can be sold to someone else. So buyer beware! There also no saying that the company won't go bankrupt not from fraud but just bad management or internal/external economic issues. Yeah, lots of risks in this type of new and mostly unregulated investment class.That is why some people prefer crowd lending instead or peer to peer lending. At least there is a tenor and your returns are fixed. |

QUOTE(robertchoo @ Nov 5 2015, 10:36 AM) high risk high returns. there are no asset class that can generate above 10% returns in 12 months. the key is to research research research. know what you're doing. Actually there are asset classes which can do this. You just need to be very good at it or lucky all the time. if you are looking for very low risk asset class try bank FDs. FD's certainly are good if you don't like stress. |

QUOTE(robertchoo @ Nov 5 2015, 06:34 PM) such as? i've not seen any asset class that can gain you 10% in a years time that do not involve significant higher risk Actually you mentioned: "there are no asset class that can generate above 10% returns in 12 months."I suppose you meant no risk free asses classes. |
