I would look at it in another way,... DT winning or creating a hoo-haa will depress stock prices for me to go in, because institutional investors would be forced to sell being in their SOP. Even if stock prices fall,... or if the USD falls if DT should win, I can say that the falls will not be long,... the mkt will come back up.

If stock prices don't retreat, we have no chance to go in,... I preferred DT to win, or at least create some hoo-haa if he loses,... let the world drop again,...

BUT,... I feel that there won't be much opportunity,.. even if news are bad lately, investors still held on to their holdings,... really, there is not much chance to go onto mkts anymore,...whatever windows or doors that open up will close very quickly,... that's what I noticed.

Back in 2007/8, the windows remained open for a very long time,... nd we had a lot of chance to think and think and evaluate again and again of a counter is good,... but in the last few years, not really anymore, if a bad news comes out,the mkt will drop, and the moment we start thinking, the prices have gone back up.

The doors have closed,....

If the world sees the current world news that Msia will cooperate with China on a lot of things, then the MYR may rise,...

Good morning, bro,... true in your words,.... I am aware too,...

BUT......I'm not really concerned with what happens in future, I am more keen to see these words and forward-looking statements bring back confidence to our RM so that our RM can strengthen. So that worldwide institutional investors will come back to MY now. So that,......................the RM can strengthen sufficiently to give me a chance to exit.

I, for one, needs money overseas now, because of the impending US Elections,... to buy more.

Our leader has great words and great tactics, I must say,... I hoped his current tactics work these few weeks.

Hi bro,... AUDMYR at 4.205 ? Isn't it 3.205 ??

Yeah,... the ridiculous RM weakened again today,....

Yeah,.. unfortunately,....

I think for the coming elections, people who wish to vote for the opposition may not be able to come out and vote also.

Hmm,... not much chance for the MYR to appreciate then in the near term,... lousy currency,.... glad I moved a lot out last year at this same time around November, December 2015, when there was news about the expiration date of the Fixed Price status of the ASX FP funds. If that news did not come, I would have just let my funds remained in the ASX FP funds, and kept on investing using my foreign currencies.

Right move then,....

I suspect possible OPR Cut by BNM soon,...

The day has finally come,... we must diversify our currency holdings,....

Meaning the SG banks are selling USD for RM at 4.50, and buying USD with RM at 4.25 ?

Nobody would want to buy our bonds anymore in future !!!!!!!!!!!! Money can get stuck,....

Could it be possible that after capital controls are uplifted, the RM will strengthen instead ???

This is the offshore rate,... hence, logically, if we are able to buy USD INSIDE Msia, and then use this USD outside of Msia, it would be better than to convert RM into USD outside of Msia.

BUt,... I'm sure no one would want to chg USD into us inside Msia now,... money-changers would close their doors already,....

Yes Kwan,... you are right as per highlighted. Then again, no holder of the USD would be selling back the USD to any money-changer inside Msia. Who would want to let go of the USD now ?? Whether inside or outside of Msia ?

There is NO ann't of capital controls, and certain financial instruments are still able to proceed, but this process is nonsensical, bonds are not redeeamable back to the original currency, and spot trades MUST follow our levels,...yeah, sure, can still go,.. but not following worldwide levels,... this is bs, man,....

I am overseas now,.... I will take immediate steps now to protect myself,...

Yeah,....

The questions now then :-

1) When will BNM lift this stop-gap measure and go back to normal business ?

2) What happens to the RM when the stop-gap measure is lifted ?

Just occured to me,... probably BNM will lift this when he thinks the RM will strengthen,... right ? BUt when will this day come ??

Have not captured any news abt Latin American emerging mkts roiling during the US session,... their mkts and currencies seems more resilient than ours,....

That's right ! Hold-on to yr USD, and better still, invest it,.... go into US Assets NOW, asap !!!!!

During the US session last night, the MYR recovered,....

Not that I am always advocating for the Singapore Dollars, but certainty is very important for the majority of us,... not the punters and the speculators, of course,...

This article proves it. The incident yesterday stands for this thinking of mine, gentlemen,.. : http://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2016...over-positions/

Never recommended to check my thread : SGX Counters ?

Sad,... nobody reads my deep thought in my writings,...
