My question now is when to get out of emerging market.

What is the reason for it's recent sluggishness ?

if you are a trader, some would suggest to 1st determine your profit/lost target in %?
if you are a long term investor, some would suggest determine your required % of allocation...sell off excesses?

maybe the answer is the performance of the equities market of the country that this fund are mandated to focus on are not doing well compared to others?

Any relationship with 1MDB ?

how long had this 1MDB story been going on?
how long had this sluggish performance of this fund had been?

to say no relationship is not true....but just how many % are due to this 1MDB issue?
there maybe also other things like, low oil prices, low palm oil prices, low properties sales, etc, etc

There was a major dip for KGF somewhere sept 15.

Not looking for internal reason to sell off. Looking for external reasons to sell off and invest in something else.

May 2014: The Sarawak Report, a whistleblowing website run by British investigative journalist Clare Rewcastle Brown, begins to publish allegations about misappropriation of state funds by 1MDB.

then anytime also can be a sell off date.....there are a lot of external reasons be it good or bad ones....

Thank you for being patience with me.

According to him emerging markets will continue to be good for another 3-4 years. Question is whether you want to believe him or not.

Risk free return, something you repeatedly preach, is given by (one of the formula):

Sharpe Ratio = (investment return - risk free rate)/Std-Dev

Now, if Std-Dev for ASx is negligible, the Sharpe Ratio goes towards infinity

You are not practicing what you preach

For FP ASX, investment return = risk free rate, so Sharpe ratio is 0 regardless of std dev？

Affinhwang & FSM also said EM is the place to bet wor.......i guess they looked at the valuation n upside potential data....
Well, they are not GOD.....they are just like us but with a much better advantage in term of experiences, resources n inside knowledge etc, etc......so on the question of should one trust him or not?.......(borrowed phrase) Are feeling more lucky, if not gonna follow, punk? ☺

Risk free rate is epf dividend 6.xx%.

Browser permission to storage not granted.

Assume android phone.

Settings - installed apps - your browser or whichever app

Check permissions.

After enable it might have to kill the browser and restart.

Some correction; definition of risk free rate is a rate that does not change frequently. KWSP dividend is a poor representation of risk free rate as that dividend changes year to year.

Xuzen

yes,
android Samsung phone.
in SETTING/APPLICATIONS/DEFAULT APPLICATIONS/
I access web by clicking internet icon so I click
INTERNET....UNDER PERMISSIONS....
"this application can access the following on your devise:
take pictures and videos" (is among the many that I can see stated there)

could it be LYN forum has a quota / jpeg file size limitation that limits pictures taken from smartphone and posted directly from phone?

You can try upload the pic to imgur. Then copy the link for forum (if I am not mistaken is call bb code) which will look something like [ img ] url of pic [ img ]

No need to make new account/download app. Button to upload is top right (cloud icon).

Hope that helps.
