But then ah, those sales charge nowadays are like 2.5%, actually, not exorbitant if we consider how much the potential returns are, and the less needs of active monitoring + stress, yes?
Oh yeah, and I have invested in UTs before, just back in those many years ago, didnt have pleasant experience. The ones I have lately, better than before, so I'm alright with them.
So as to being new to investing on my own in FSM...I think, considering how I suck in stocks, probably will reconsider this platform, haha

What do other forumers here think as well on the sales charge, btw?
Thanks for re-sharing, Uncle...hmm, PRS, how is it working for you? It is those very safe type, yes?
*nods* I totally agree.
Thanks for your reply.
But...what if your stock goes to 50-70% of loss when you one day log in and see its performance after 1 year, lol...still won't cut ma? And just for discussion sake, what if these companies have solid fundamentals, but just happen to be under some curse of Bursa, so it keeps sliding.

Also, thanks for the 'jia you' earlier, forgot to tell you how much that keeps my spirit up...it's been a long day for me!

To those emotional attached, anything else is noise.

Border closed, grounded.

There's a danger with time. Yea, time can be the darling of a wonderful biz but time can also hurt a 'good' business stuck in a rot ....

I do had a 'life' example shared here a couple of years ago ... but to avoid biasness to the stock...

let's say we a stock, which was a proven investment success story, paying over 5% dividend yield and unfortunately, after we bought it, the stock started falling and falling.
That was in 2014.
Stock till today, still pays good dividend, over 4% based on current prices.

now .... which would have been a better choice?

1. Sell and admit we made a mistake and bought a 'good' stock but at a terrible price. (potong la !)

2. Hold from 2014 till today?  (8 years investment horizon wo)

im ultra noob too, just started gambling bursa de casino last march.

in my shallow understanding, buying the dip is for normal time, now abnormal time, when it dips it might go deep, so we sell accordingly.

im watching this now:

Ya ya I watched that sometimes too.. What do you guys think? Tesla correction? Sell all and all in Tesla?

What's the bull argument for plastics?

Raw material prices are rising with oil staying above $60 and there is going to be increasing demand squeeze as plastic gets replaced with biodegradable products.

Welcome back.
Products that needs premium packaging e.g glass will likely remain unchanged. most other that could be substituted with plastic would have done so.
