Dear Investors,

The opec meeting is going to take place soon. Can some of your share your thoughts how this meeting will affect global stocks/fund?
If they decide to freeze the output of crude oil, how will this affect the various market? If they can't reach an agreement, how will this impact the markets?
Keen to hear your thoughts esp those veteran investors.
Thank you.

I am dumping Ponzi 2.0; its return is getting lower and lower whereas its volatility is increasing and increasing!

I am dumping it in lieu of RHB Asian Total Return Pink Spider - yes, you are right. RHB Asian Income also is a good alternative if you prefer a mixed asset fund.

RHB Asian Total Return is an Asia Pac Ex-Japan corporate bond exposed.

Sorry I am not familiar with some of the lingo here. Which is Ponzi 2.0? And why do you call it Ponzi 2.0?

Just out of curiosity.

Fixed Income SC is 0% and intra switching is RM 25.
If I am interested in a particular equity fund by fund manager XYZ, can I purchase that fund manager fixed income bond at 0% and then switch to the particular equity at RM 25 to avoid the 2% SC I'd have to pay otherwise if I bought it directly? Has anyone tried this before?

Q:  Where can I see the charges applicable for Intra/Inter fund house switching?

A: To view the switching fees for Intra and Inter fund house switches, please look under FUNDS INFO-> FUNDS SALES CHARGES-> SWITCHING and select either INTRA FUND HOUSE or INTER FUND HOUSE.

Yes I know the charges. If I executed the way I mentioned, will it work?

Can't, because equity fund and bond fund is considered different tier. When you switch from bond to equity, equity sales charge would apply and hence you have to pay rm25 switching + prevailing sales charge for equity fund.

Ah thanks for the explanation bro smile.gif

I guess most of the gains we are seeing at the moment is due to RM depreciating? Went from 4 to 4.15 pretty quick.
Is anyone apprehensive of RM bouncing back a little??
Also going forward, we have the Brexit vote and Fed meeting happening this month. Lots of volatility going forward? What is everyone strategy? As much as I would like to sell and sit back for a while, the cost of paying 2% SC again is making me think what is the best thing to do.
What are your thoughts guys?

Noob question here about Gold. It seems like Gold and US dollars have negative correlation.
So for a Malaysian investor, how do we benefit from increase in Gold price? If the price goes up, we lost on the exchange. So it almost cancels out right? Do we earn only if the increase in gold price is greater than the decrease of currency drop?
Sorry for the stupid question. Hope someone can explain me smile.gif

"Gold is generally quoted in US dollars per ounce of gold; so any fluctuations in the strength of the dollar are likely to be reflected in the dollar price of gold: when the dollar falls the gold price rises........ and when the dollar rises gold falls. The relationship is not exactly inverse, however, and there are times when both gold and the dollar rise or fall simultaneously."
http://www.incrediblecharts.com/economy/gold_dollar.php

"However, it’s important to understand that it’s possible for the U.S. dollar and gold price to increase at the same time. This can occur because of a crisis in some other country or region. This would cause investors to flock to safer assets—the U.S. dollar and gold. The U.S. dollar is also driven by many factors—like monetary policy and inflation in the U.S. vs. other countries. It’s also driven by economic prospects in the U.S. vs. other countries. Investors need to consider all of these factors."
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-gold-us-...-170016117.html

"One can blow up their entire account being wrongly positioned on a move like that while hoping for the old correlations to apply, even if it is only within a three-month period of time.
The point I am trying to make is that correlations come and go without any warnings. Unless you have the tools to be able to predict when those seeming correlations will cease, you had better know how to use stops on all your trading and investment instruments. Otherwise, you will be left holding a bag full of losses, while scratching your head and wondering what happened. It is for this reason that I always suggest one analyze each market on their own for their own merit, and to avoid using any seeming correlations or inter-market analysis as a heavily weighted tool in your investment analysis arsenal".

Thanks for the input bro. I did come across some of these articles. Even though they are not exactly inverse, it's not unusual for them to move in opposite direction.
So for a Malaysian investor, this is not good right? We only benefit if they move in the same direction (appreciate) right?

some people want "counter balance" in their asset...just in case 1 asset drops the other will try to pull it up.
thus this reduces the portfolio volatility...just like some people have bond & Equities UTs in their portfolio
the growth rate on returns is not what they seek..they wanted to have less volatility in the returns

Thanks bro. Appreciate the time and effort smile.gif
