U.S. Stocks Tumble as Risk Flight Intensifies, Brent Oil Sinks

U.S. stocks tumbled, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunging more than 370 points and small caps entering a bear market, as oil’s failure to maintain a 4 percent rally rekindled a flight from risk assets. Treasuries surged amid signs that demand for the relative safety of bonds is rising.

Now it is really time to go in little by little in every region.. then wait 

I may go around lunch time! look see look see..

you think they will always come again so frequently? 

if you are still into US.....
good to go there for the Aberdeen talk.
The ang mor in Penang talked...I don't really catch him.....I think he is not that rosy in US...(If I listened and catched his hints correctly)

It may still go down la this time...

I guess now if one have done some diversification and some asset allocation, this can prevent more damage to ones portfolio.. 

Wanna confirm:

FSM advises...."As small cap stocks are known to be more volatile than their large cap counterparts, investors should consider including small cap equity funds in their supplementary portfolios, confining their allocation in these funds to no more than 10% weightage of their entire portfolios."

anyway.....if one got the appetite and are well prepared for it (financially)....I see, why not go against FSM advice....

If I read the Morningstar Asia info correctly, the current cash holdings of the following funds are as follows:-

1.  CIMB Dynamic (aka Ponzi 2) = 15.79% of net assets
2.  CIMB Global Titans               = 9.89% of net assets
3.  Eastspring Global Leaders     = 1.67% of net assets

Last I checked, Morningstar's fund info is a bit outdated. Best to get those info from each fund's FFS from FSM

FSM's Fund Sheet also not so updated. For Ponzi 2 and Titanic fund, the Fund Sheet is as at November 2015.

Let me assist you:

Let's say on 1/1/2016 you buy a ASX fund at RM 1.00 / unit. The fund made 20cts per unit, or market up 20%. By now your fund NAV should be RM 1.20 right? You sell it, you should get RM 1.20 right?

But how much is ASX price? Forever RM 1.00, what happened to your 20cts?  They declare a 7% dividend and all of you go ga-ga! This means ASX only pay you 7cts, what happened to you other 13cts?

ASX FM then use the 13cts to keep in their holding.

Let's say next year the fund lose 20% and the NAV is now RM 0.80 and you want to redeem it immediately. They will use the rollover profit to pay you at RM 1.00.

You will say that this is good, as you are assured of RM 1.00 all the time. But for those who are financially savvy, we want full disclosure and be compensated accordingly, i.e., follow market force. We want to be able to fully able to enjoy the whole 1.20 when it is time opportune.

Now you get it?
