Adele,

U should be getting excited ma right?
i mean, CHEAPER equities to buy more wor.

like shopping on SALE SALE SALE!
since need/holding long (or should i say 'savings allocater'), i'd prefer things to be on sale since i want/need to buy anyway

sorry - "grocery shopping" habits die hard. i'm the fler infront of the queue with fully loaded milk-powder 12 months' worth during a worthwhile sale
other's reality may differ

er.. based on trading or investing?
in combination with individual stocks or basket of stocks (like UT/Mutual Funds, ETFs)?

simple - don't use heart, use stomach + mind (greed +probabilities)

er.. seriously
if i use heart, may get heart attack liao if all markets plunge another 20%
by that time, my China ETF will be negative and so will my Titans & GEMS
must be able to hold though for >=5 years though (just in case)

also good - hits my "worthwhile" cost, i collect more

BTW, STI itself has fallen like chunks vs KLCI (if exclude forex to/fro USD)
we're talking about double digits % STI vs KLCI single digit comparison here
thus... i smell something nice coming if it keeps falling

wei, don't put me on "gawd's table" lar

i know myself, my weaknesses (fears & greed) & how to tackle them using "tools" like data & Excel cooked stats from those data
doesn't mean it'll work for everyone leh (same "tools")

That SHOULD be the 1st Q heheh
and not how many % of savings but
a. how much % of your net worth is held in the fund now
b. how much more / less % U will add/lower by 31st Dec 2016

pity the fler that doesn't "eat their own dog food" but "marketing talk" only

well if it goes HIGHER i also happy ma
see happy green + can take some rebalanced profit
OR
just dont pump-in allocated amount coz VCA says value held cukup/more than planned

i'm a simple creature, simple pleasures

er.. coz we aint that dumb to blame FSM?
unlike some folks <name withheld for protection purposes - mainly my life>

eh.. not yet MEGA sale la
IF drop another 40% how? heheh ULTRA MEGA SALE?
ok lar if that's your definition for lelong (ultra mega sale)
and when 80% down, SUPER ULTRA MEGA SALE

just poking fun(d) to lighten up fear/greed ya
value or sale depends on one's timeline & perspective

all waiting for oil companies & oil borrowings to implode, then lelong buys

Mr Buffet is buying too - refiner Phillips 66, a spinoff by ConocoPhillips (COP.N), which Berkshire also owned. Two years later, Berkshire shed its remaining Conoco stake, as well as a large investment in Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N).

bad?
son.. during mah time, this is nothing but just a hiccup.
dont run screaming for them hills till it's down 50%-60%
My ASEAN currency kuhrisis KLCI was -80%+/-

<playing the part of an old codger>

still chugging along with Value Averaging (just done last Mon/Tue for GlobalTits & GEMs.

Bulk of dry ammo for this year - waiting for better deals.
note - dry ammo for chunking in per transaction (6 transactions) is about 5 times of VA's amount allocated per period,
thus i demand much much more discounts, which may not be triggered
i chicken ma

From my own cooking / personal targets, the "nearest" to trigger are:
1. If STI 2350+/-: Buy STI ETF
2. If EWZ $13.50+/- (ETF on Brazil or more GEMS) OR If RSX $9.20+/- (ETF on Russia or more GEMS)
3. If BRENT $23+/-: Buy more CVX (already bought 1x last year when CVX fell to USD31 or 30) or other fundamentally strong oil supply chain Co.
4. If CIMBA40 $1.37+/-: Buy more CIMBA40 (already VA bit by bit)
5. If CIMBC50 $0.82+/-: Buy more CIMBC50 (already VA bit by bit)

Just sharing my own triggers ya, not a recommendation.
Your mileage may vary due to different expectations/wants/asset allocation/methodology and all other liability-excluding clauses.

strong meh?
Yesterday's US S&P500 fell like stone until midnight MY time,
then this morning recovered MORE THAN 50% of the fall.

when i see 25% to 30% fall (either peak to trough or yoy or vs 6mths ago, then i'll start to be a happy buyer
now still.. like want to happy, no happy, going to happy.. no happy.. urgh.. death by a thousand pricks
