Food for thought today.

More sharing:
I hold these advice close to heart, I hope you will too.

A “support group” like this platform we have here is useful to keep ourselves reminded of our “why”. It’s a bumpy journey, but it’s also a worthwhile journey.

There always will be bulls and bears around, we are bears ourselves when it comes to certain industry, but to me it’s important to convey our point of view in discretion, otherwise this place would turn into another infested medium.

I’m not even sure if this thread is under moderation (is there? can someone tag the moderator incharge) because it seems like someone can conveniently “one-up” on everyone’s opinion, brings no value to the table, and face no consequences from it.

I don’t mean to be rude, but such an act reminds me the analogy of a stray dog pissing on people’s front porch. If it doesn’t get cleaned up, it will eventually become the next i3investor. In fact, it’s starting to smell like one already.

What does it have to do with gloves? Why does everything always have to do with gloves?

Take for example. I was merely sharing general investment advice that I found meaningful and worth sharing. These posts too, get a one-up reaction.

Is this not some form of harassment?

Can we have the moderator do something about it? cherroy if you happen to be incharge of this thread.

First of all, I’m not a dude.

Second of all, if you terasa over my statements well let me tell you the person is I’m referring to is icemanx. Everyone knows his behavior in the thread no? One sentence statement, repetition of phrases. This morning when I made two posts, he replied to every single one with some bull crap. It’s not the first time. Well if everyone is free to come up with bs like these and face no consequence, speaks pretty much about the regulation here.

Krv23490 in case you terasa being the person I’m referring to, the reply is for you too.

You might wanna go through his replies this morning to see if it’s stock market related.

If his few words replies aren’t a form of spamming I don’t know what is.

By the way, the ignore button only hides person’s posts. It doesn’t stop you from receiving notification should the person choose to “reply” to your posts.

I believe you’ve been here long enough to know his character; it’s well known. But I leave it up to you. I rest my case.

Sure DUDE.

You really think you are God meh.

Happy Chinese “Niu”!Year Bros and Sis’s. Hope y’all have a GREAT celebration! I wish you and family be blessed with abundant health and wish in the years to come! Huat ah! Heng ah! Ong ah!

True, fundamental always prevails. Only thing is the market can stay irrational longer than us solvent. If one can stay solvent longer surely can come out being the winner

Also I think we can find relatively undervalued counters in just any market. The difficult part in choosing an undervalued counter in the Us stock market is the pool of companies is too big, you end up searching for a needle in the ocean.

In this respect, I think staying invested in Bursa is easier as we can monitor the business on the ground. E.g you wanna make an educated guess if coming QR for Padini will be good, just walk into the retail stores you can see for yourself. Can’t do that with Costco, Walmart.

Trapped or not trapped has got nothing to do with a disgusting wildebeest with 3 days of razor stubble in a sleeveless moomoo

No bro I just don’t bother clarifying, but he DOES seem to like relating everything to glove lol

Uh huh..and that too has got nothing to do with you. Take care of your own rice bowl.

If the shoes fit, wear it!

KLCI -23.83. Any news?

Edit: Last pull up, market closed at -19.45.

Uncle, may I know why do you think investing in unit trust is a better option for long term investment? What convinces you that the fund managers are more likely to outperform well- informed retail investors if you will?

Though I understand that picking a basket of stocks can significantly lower than chances of missing out a bagger and minimizing risk of losing it all.

It’s good to know about the % needed to recover for a specific % of loss based on the table you posted. While the math is correct, don’t you think as long as the company remains profitable eventually it will come back? Just the matter of waiting. Of course, I have no objection to “cutting loss” if an “investor” found better investment opportunities. From what I see, most people ended up cutting loss because they can’t bear the paper loss, not that the fundamental of the company has changed.

I’m aware that some people tend to think Bursa is manipulated to benefit the money makers. While they can carry out some hanky-panky action behind the curtain in the short term (if it really does happen), isn’t it fair to think they can’t do this in the long term to a specific company? By long term I mean 3-5 years and above. At the end of the day, what drives a share price is the company performance. That’s why the quote that goes..in the long term, the stock market is a weighing machine.

Or not...? lol.

Anyone is free to give your opinion or join the discussion.

I think you meant the S&P500, in that case yes the trend has been up if we look all the way back from decades.

But if you think all index will go up in the long run, you might wanna take a look at Japanese Nikkei 225 index. If you had put in any amount into the index in Jan 1991, you have only broken even in November 2020

If LONG TERM profitability doesn’t translate to stock capital appreciation, then what are we investing for? Trend? News? 😂

Might need to reevaluate what does investment even encompass.
