Any possibility for FSM to introduce promotion in sales charge in conjunction with Awal Muharam?

Dumping in  monthly?

In volatile markets like this, if you do lumpsum investments, it's better to catch the market when it's lower than when there is a sales charge discount right? usually when market is down, it's more than 1% 

RHB Asian Income, RHB Asian Total Return (fixed income) they were below my radar previously. For better or worse, my prejudice with bond is that she is boring and as beautiful as my 90year old Granny. But after re looking at them, they do present some interesting numbers.

I will, in my free time, throw these numbers into  algozen™ and see whether they can be part of a good portfolio or not... watch this space.

what is a volatile market?do we measure volatility on a daily/weekly/monthly/annual basis or premise upon one's subjective feeling?

how do we enumerate volatilty ?is there a metric to measure volatility

thank you sir for ur reponse

pardon me for butting in - interesting subject close to my heart

While i agree that one can't get "the lowest low" & "the highest high"
AND buying LUMP SUM based on "volatility" is a bit.. daft..,
IMHO, there is a statistical / probability way to hedge one's investing's ins & outs.

Standard Deviation (SD in short)
If an investment's cost (usually called price) moves waaaaay too far from it's SD,
then there is a higher probability that the reverse will happen.
In simple talk - some calls this reversion to mean / "return to norm".

eg.
if S&P500 has fallen to below -2SD, probability is high that if one buys then and can hold it,
one's probability to make $ is >95% ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/68%E2%80%9395...%80%9399.7_rule )

eg2.
of course, the reverse is also true
if S&P500 has risen to above +2SD, probaility is high that if one buys then...

Again no 100% probability lar 
but, hey, it's like a lelong or crazy cost vs value gauge.

The only issue is - does one use 1yr, 3yrs, 5yrs, 10yrs cost or price data to calculate the SD
Vs current cost or price?
Personally - i look at 1yr, 6yrs & 9yrs SD
Gives me a good idea of recent, the mid and the longer term.
Then i buy MORE (on top of my value averaging) or i buy LESS / divest & move into another investment heheh
sirs


Just a thought and open to bettering the concepts above via ding-dong (argument, discussion, blah blah ) 

sir if sd is an indicator of the volatility of markets what is then a 'normal'market?or is there a normal market to begin with ?

is RM strengthening good for local share market?
