buy, top up more on foreign funds...??

will it ever be in M'sia?

back in the US....
if they challenge it in US court....they may be convicted and put in jail.
if they did not challenge it in US court...they may be convicted in absentia.

either ways...B'cos this is a high profile case, I guess the US will get to keep the USD 1 billion....

looks like the guessing is over.....

just like using ATM with your bank card....
any safe guard measures, let say if u transfer the amount to your intended recipient and it somehow didn't go through to his/her a/c, will it automatically be credited back to your account?
if the ATM machines did not dispense the money / correct amount, will the different being returned to your a/c?

did that prevent you from using the ATM card?

it is a good start... try it for a few years to see how it goes....
you may learnt more about your fund choices and your own feelings first hand if you hold on to it for a few years....
what are its ratio?

Ha_ha 😁 don't we just loves his balls. What a monday mood boaster.

but what if BOTH assets classes falls together like Mid 2013, eventhough FI may not falls that great?

any idea why do you think you need to open an a/c to buy insurance?

I have no idea.....best is you ask FSM MY and tell us here....thks

I have no idea why the FM do the allocation...
but, just look at the % allocated for them....so little % (just 10%) compared to what is NOT shown.....like the % in Malaysia alone? ever think of the "concentration risk"?
just 10.4% , you mentioned "MOST" equities in Asia?

is it stated in that article? if not, try query the published of that article?
ask him/her why the chart details are not complete?

but I suspect the Balance of it is allocated in Msia,....
just wondering is there any % of it being "indirectly linked & seized" in US, SG, HK & Luxzumbour.....

i got the same one too...

he said: Hello,

Interested in an investment that returns 20% on a monthly basis ? And the BEST part is the monthly return directly bank into your account.

Maximum investment allowed is RM 4,200. Every month you get RM 760.

Can withdraw anytime at only 1% penalty. Meaning, you can try 1 month and still make a few hundred ringgit in profit smile.gif

PM me if interested to know more.

i asked: if you don't gives me RM 760 every month how?
go burn your house?

he said: well, it's not me who will be giving the rm760.

but this is the risk everyone is taking by joining such investment.
there is no capital guarantee.

the company will definitely continue to give out the promised return, until the day they can no longer able to. for us as investor, is to try predict how long the company is going to be around.

i asked: in that case....this is sort of "skim cepat kaya"...

he said: indeed.

goto FSM site....
at the TOP right hand cover, (search box)

then click Search

(scroll down till almost the bottom)
just a note: the current one is ending on 5 Aug

'Sell everything,' DoubleLine's Gundlach says.

“The artist Christopher Wool has a word painting, 'Sell the house, sell the car, sell the kids.' That’s exactly how I feel – sell everything. Nothing here looks good,” Gundlach said in a telephone interview. "The stock markets should be down massively but investors seem to have been hypnotized that nothing can go wrong."

Gundlach, who oversees more than $100 billion at Los Angeles-based DoubleLine, said the firm went "maximum negative"

The Perils Of Chasing Short-Term Trends

trend-chasing distracts us from our long-term goals

Short-term market trends are often a distraction from an investor's long-term financial goals. It can be easy to feel fearful during market downturns, especially when watching carefully vested monies diminish in value. Some investors may be tempted to trim their positions and get out of the market entirely. On the other hand, when herding behaviour drives the prices of certain assets off the roof, investors chase after the market and pile increasingly larger sums of money into these 'hot investment opportunities' in the hopes of hitting the big jackpot. While it is tempting to follow the newest investment trends in the market, it is at such times that investors should keep the long-term view in mind.
..................

short-termism can be costly

While it is important that we stay abreast of what is happening in financial markets, we should not let news headlines and our emotions lead us astray from our long-term financial goals, as a single mistake can prove to be costly. Moreover, the risks involved in short-term trend-chasing can sometimes be beyond what an individual investor can tolerate.
..............

look beyond short-term market trends

Given the uncertainties in the current market environment, investors are bound to be inundated with short-term market trends. The key to investment success, then, is to have a long-term financial plan, and stick to it in a disciplined manner.
