Haha.. First day of the month already top up ar..

It'll be treated as tomorrow since today's FT public holiday.

don't feel BAD...
here is a consolation.....
YOU are NOT ALONE....

Ouch. 93% of investors lost money in January

It wasn't just you. Virtually all investors lost money during the atrocious month of January.

Over 93% of investors were in the red last month, according to data shared exclusively with CNNMoney by Openfolio, an app that allows people to see how their investment portfolios stack up with others.

Wow this thread is so quiet these days. It actually fell the 2nd page ...

I think
those had bought recently are waiting for the storm to be over
those that have not bought recently are still waiting for the storm to be more severe
those that are thinking to start are saying ...."THKS goodness...I luckily did not start"
those that just started are saying...."OMGss what just happened."
those that are solely into FD maybe are saying..."i told you so"

I think it will be active once the China retail investors are back from their CNY holidays, and the colour of the indexes are not RED for about a week.

btw, so far during the month of January....how many of your clients (in %) called to ask about the direction of their portfolio or ask for a change of their allocation?

Busy looking for money to put foods on the table for CNY Maybe some are having a great time at Genting Highland now.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all the Chinese members here a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year. Gong Xi Fa Cai. HUAT AHHH....

To those who is not celebrating CNY, Happy Holiday.

Happy Chinese New Year to every one!
May the tides doesn't swept you away!

Be smart, fresh and prosperous!

i cannot comprehend / don't expect your IRR to drop about 7.8% in 1 month.
this is BAD.....

I think my IRR got amplified a lot due to doubling of fund size in the last 6 months while my PM fund is already 15 years old.

Only 1 call regarding market. 2 scheduled rebalancing. No excitement over here.

yes, i remembered you did mentioned abt the amplification due to doubling of fund size recently....
but my thinking is....once it amplified.....the value should "stay" somewhere at that range unless there is a HUGE drops in ROI......
to have IRR dropped abt 7.8% in 1 month, then that means the ROI may have dropped by > 10% in 1 month?
i am not experts in IRR maths...just pondering....
i may be wrong ......

Seems a little odd. How long have you been tracking your IRR ? The longer the period, the more stable the result.

Told you to redeem everything and hide under your tilam. Don't belif summore la ...

That also means not much fresh funds lor ...

You wait for your clients to call
You don't proactively call 30 of them everyday?

Over in the Stock Market forum, people are more excited when the market is down

If i have 30 clients to call everyday, I won't be looking for clients already. I'll be HNI HAHAHAH
