Europe based US-ETF starting with green +2%...

exactly. I bought a few stocks like IHH and Tenaga. Hold for 5 years also tak naik.

that means, in that 5 years, it didn't reach a new peak.

let's put it this way, how likely is M'sian stock market to reach new peaks over the last 20 or 50 years or whatever time frame, vs other stock market?

I know some ppl are "all markets are equal" or "all things are created equal" or "all countries are the same" believers, but I believe certain markets are better than others. I believe certain countries are better than others.

edit: Having said that, I'm very happy that you're a huge M'sia supporter with a positive attitude. Without you, Malaysia cannot develop. We need more ppl like you here!

33k USD = 5.3% ....... that means you've 623k USD?? fuiyoh!!!!!!!!

EUN2 or Euro Stoxx 50 has tumbled quite a lot....

worth investing for short term (<3 years)?

yeah... would be nice if they start QE soon.... otherwise, €1 = RM 5 soon....

on the other hand, not sure how they will handle nCoV19.

so basically, exchange the funds to EUR now and place it in an instrument while collecting interests?
for bonds, if the bond prices go down, how?

but in your case, can also put in FD (SGD), no?

thanks! I'll have a look at eur bond ETFs.

but if MYR appreciate, I also lose money for converting so early?

hopefully it could be over before Olympics. It'll be so sad if it gets cancelled.

sold all?? at a loss??

my average buy price for IGBReit is 1.777. Still don't know if I should sell or not....

I'm waiting for BNM to lower the OPR again, hopefully will give the price a boost.

maybank won't bankrupt; but not sure how long it will take to recover to RM 9 ~ 10....

for long term, better hold. IGB Reit gives out decent dividend anyway....

if want to sell, wait for the next MPC meeting since everyone is expecting a rate cut. That should boost REITs a bit.

so even with US lowering interest rates and QE don't help?

we are so doomed!!

so wait for US to cut first, thenSGD will weaken a bit, and change MYR to SGD before BNM cut their rates, this would be best, right?

so the only way MYR can strengthen is by having US to go into recession and devalue their currency ...

Of course not. I have hold it for many years. Not going to sell now.
Will pick up more if it goes below RM 1.50.

malaysia has multiple storms though .......

politics, economics, oil .....

at what price?

at the time of crisis, how come gold prices didn't reach all time high?

what do you think about silver? some said it shadows gold price?

thinking of buying SLV but I think silver is also tied to the manufacturing industry, no?
If the global growth slow down, then demand for silver will also be lower?
