Just get use to it. LOL

This is the 4th big plunge I experienced 
And this round is really quick compared to previous few times.

Good time, always think of risk.
Bad time, always think of potential opportunity.

We have been posting potential the jinx of 10 years cycle, which was not happening, now we only know it is delay. 1986,1998, 2008, now 2020.
As we mentioned before, crisis often happened totally out of our expectation. Prior before, we see everything is rosy, same with prior before 2007, 1997.

Pick a good stock is the key going forwards, as history again and again show those goods stocks eventually likely to recover or even higher than before.

And that's why I keep on reiterated the importance of dividend. Those dividend paid are in your pocket already.

Looking at such bleak outlook, I'm wondering if anyone here still does the long term investing on blue chips?
Like, every year keep putting in some regardless of pricing for the next 10-20 years, till retirement.

If yes, are they mainly banks, Nestle, TNB, etc.?

I think when it comes to Maybank, there is always that premium when it comes to the name that retailers love.
Great to sit and suck on dividends. But in terms of capital appreciation meat, there are almost always better dishes elsewhere.

Don't have any banking stocks in my portfolio right now so I get to play casual bystander here.

Locally, a few equities I have looking high but am deciding against realizing the profit because nowhere to reallocate the funds to.
My China bet has turned out to be quite painful but that's part of the journey.

Unstable government formation. No good for Stock market

you want more capital growth or more dividend yield

Depends on ur situation n what u want. If u have capitals parked after selling some shares, can put those money in stocks w very low price but high dividends. Harta look like bottom out, hence many heads r turning to this counter lately
