In 2014, M'sia funds esp KGF was the darling.... then China funds became the de'rigeur in Q2 to Q3 in 2015, then it tumbled. Thereafter GTF become the new darling as USD/MYR forex was in USD's favour.

Now that the reverse of USD/MYR forex has occurred, GTF is no longer the darling, and M'sia exposed UTF become the de'rigeur once again esp KGF. A full cycle has come.

The world market is very fickle minded, that is the truth and nothing can change that fact.

That is why, it is useless to time the market or chase after it. It is very energy zapping. Just hold a diversified portfolio where the calculated rewards >> the risk and over time, you should be fine.

The term reward refers to Yield or ROI and Risk refers to Standard Deviation.

And here I am DCA-ing and second-guessing myself laugh.gif

So guys, once you're down, say, 7% of the value though within what you're prepared to risk, do you

i) prepare to cut loss
ii) screw it, I'll average down!
iii) look at another fund to reduce overall volatility to feel better that average is still in the green

I understand from my time here that it'll, for instance, be tiring to chase / time the market (xuzen) and continue averaging down (master Wong).

Since we all have goals in mind and don't plan to be invested forever, how should I go about making sure the longer term goals are achieved in good time?

To those seasoned investors with salt and pepper crown, what's will your retirement investment vehicle look like? Will stocks feature prominently or is it FD and UTFs?

Edit: either with retirement in the next few years or already a retiree
