Are u referring to a 2008 style Global Financial crisis?

If yes, then Gold did pretty well then. Gold was around RM70/gm in 2007, it jumped to about RM100 in early 2008. A nice 40% return in a year. And do u know tht you can actually buy gold using Bursa trading account. I. e. Goldetf (0828EA).

Of course, the problem will be timing. When will this financial crisis happen? Gold does not generate any dividends. And Gold price tend to fall when RM strengthen. You could be losing money while holding Gold waiting for a financial crisis.. What if the financial crisis happen only 5 years from now.? Can tahan?

If ur timing is right, you can make tons of money via derivatives or shortselling rather than gold. See movie Big Short.

P/S Im an investor in Goldetf at the moment. YTD return 8%.

Other than the fundamental reasons (interest rate, trade war, Iran, crazy Trump), technically Gold has also broken the USD1400/ounce lvl, which is highest it has been in 5 yrs.

Still wait for G20 this weekend. If Trump and Xi Jiping kiss n make up, I think gold will fall back ( how much dunno) n stocks will go crazy. If they fight..

Goldetf (0828EA)s up YTD11. 43%. Not bad.

For those who think Trump and Xi are not going to make up, I think you should consider investing here. Or to hedge your stock position. It's stamp duty exempted.

Institutional funds are usually not allowed to trade ACE Market. There is also hardly any research analyst coverage for Ace. So it's more cowboy market of retail. Investors in ACE Market.

Institutional funds like Epf, PNB, Public Mutual etc.

N yes, ACE is for smaller companies.

A broker/remisier will provide you news update and research reports. You can also join some investor groups for ideas.

But u must know that stock trading does not jive with " kinda lazy" attitude. You are going to lose money.

Yes the same effect.. Total shareholder equity remains the same.

But funny thing after bonus issue, often price still go up with no reason, I think coz ppl remember the old price n think now it has become cheaper..

Nope.. U sold one day too early.

Adjustment is done by BSKL.. This is like investor protection to make sure controlling shareholders don't try to cheat the public by paying themselves huge dividends, leaving the company 0 but holding up the share price.

Selling RHB Insurance, no big deal.

Right now, I only have:

Malakoff : August
Maybank: Sept

Actually Malakof problem was that it had a bad growth story. Malaysia doesn't need any more IPPs n one of the plant concession was ended and not renewed (PD Plant). So this had drag the price down significantly.

But I like its future plans. It's buying Alam Flora, it increased its stake in a big Saudi water production plant (took over from Khazanah), and its going into solar power generation. Waste management, water n renewable are good businessea to be in now. And its owned by Syed Mokhtar, who is close to PM.

Last year Malakof paid 5.6 Sen dividends, of which 2.1 Sen was the interim paid out in September. Current price is 89 Sen, giving a DY of 6.29% if it can maintain the dividends. My TP is RM1. 10 by end of next year..

Can u access these markets directly?

Many IB and brokers here In Malaysia also offer HK and US Markets. It's a bit higher brokerage wise but if u r not so active trader, then it shouldn't be a big deal.

I know Hong Kong and US have Vietnam and Philippines ETFs which u can buy. This will give exposure to the market without having to study individual stocks.

Not on Bursa Malaysia, but u can buy via Malaysian IB and brokers that offer Hong Kong or US trading.

How long hv u been thinking abt entering Maybank..?

Malakoff
Interim: 2.44 sen
Ex date: 12/9
Payment: 12/10

Maybank
Interim: 25 sen
Ex date: 18/9
Payment : 2/10
