not just volatile... the politics-mco thingy is simply unattractive to all investors, foreign or domestic.
.. mco forever but cases not coming down... today 3500 cases.
.. no parliament, no need to discuss anything.
.. 5G launch also via SPV = corruption?
.. fitch, moody's about to downgrade country rating.
.. bloomberg also feel sorry for gloves - good sustainable profits but nobody want, let foreign hedge funds rape them.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/5-billion-ro...-031253000.htmlin short, bursa, we retailers will be f'ed for a long time... until the greedy politicians get fat and full, leave the arena.
dark days may get darker before they get bright.
Personally I believe most major stock markets are near or at all time high is because of the reason everyone is printing money and no better alternative to park your money. That's why even bitcoins going crazy because it is supposed to replace gold as a safety place. Time will tell.
MCO forever indeed, but Israel is a hope. They are recovering very nicely with the vaccines almost done. Hope no cases of vaccination gone wrong there. If not really GG. I do think Singapore will be the next since they clearly ahead in vaccination and their population not huge to have most vaccinated by the next few months.
Agong just gave blessing for parliament, Next Best PM to be (Khairy) just announced we can have election after Sep? Maybe earlier if Moo now has no other moves.
5G launch via SPV another total BS. Which other somewhat advance country does this. Not to mention we have Huawei as the partner. Granted they are the best in 5G now, but 5G is more than about connectivity. It is also about the 5G related possible tech resulting in a whole diff standard and ecosystem. Unless US let water to Huawei, I foresee we will get stuck with a white elephant. Maybe we will adopt the China standard moving on for those 5G enabled technology. Hope not. Technology really is about future roadmap. Huawei now very restricted due to chips and other countries avoiding it.
The "good" news is that most foreign funds are out by now, the damage with their pullout may not be as great. We are at the near bottom. Now it is retailers plus govt agency at play. As long as interest rate remains super low, our Bursa still has hope.
But long term definitely not good for Malaysia. I no longer know what's our competitive advantage. Maybe someone can enlighten us. Vietnam, Indonesia and even Thai all ahead of us now.
