Last 5 years, SPY has outperformed Brkb price wise and also pays dividends, unlike Brkb.

Wow lots of counters nosediving... anyone know what’s up? Cos of corona virus? Lol

Looks like markets have calmed down, even klci has narrowed its losses. Not sure whether it's premature tho..

USD, JPY and CHF are the safe heaven currencies.

WTF, major Asian markets have been shitty for most of the past few years. FBM KLCI just hit 9 year low.

LOL, unless u are referring to US markets lah.

it means 70cents per share for the company called icon

anyone can explain why the one year total return is negative but it still have dividend yield?

   

No.. Introducing GST now will just hit consumer confidence more. Consumer is currently  what is holding up the economy from further drop. Now with the virus.. That's at risk too.

It's just that PH govt is so slow and uncoordinated. Probably busy playing their stupid political games.

Huge drop in US!

I remember back in 2008, Malaysia had its first political tsunami and BN lost its 2/3 majority. Then, the KLCI dropped more than 100 points! However investors who thought its goos to buy cheap later got burned as a few months later, the whole global markets had a meltdown followed by the recession of 2008/09..

With this political crisis in Malaysia now, I'm wondering whether history will repeat?

I can't see the future.. but if KLCI continue to fall this week I will start to feel very tempted to sapu some of the Blue Chips.

So I guess my post is a reminder to self, not to go overboard.

My crystal ball not working well. But I think I can see 2Q2022. 😆

For me, I will just stick to my favourite QQQ ETF and keep buying if it falls.
Moving in and out incurs fees and the chances of messing up is high.

Short term vs long term Treasuries

Long term treasuries will increase more if there is a recession, but what if actually this recession doesn't happen? It will fall in price more. And the dividend/interest which is not so great to begin with may not cover that loss of Capital.

So short term is less risky then long term. Less price volatility.

Medium term: It is somewhere between the two. In fact, I tend to prefer medium term.

Btw medium is usually called Intermediate

Incorrect.
Bond capital is never guaranteed. Bond is subjected to default risk especially those junk bond. 
In fact, one can lose money in bond if it is defaulted.

Bond ETF is similar to bond fund or bond unit trust except it is traded in open market, just like any other ETF.
