Whatever it is on FSM supporters going to say.... as long as we enjoy consistent 6% plus plus for next 5 years ( short term) and another next 5 years then all of us will very happy already......

they complained ASX investment as "NOT FAIR",
go read pinkspider BIG RED post in last ASX version.

A fund which cannot outperform FD is not worth investing in (hint:ASG, ASN3)
not just ASG and ASN3, it should apply to any other UTs in FSM also.

Wa... smell fishy for the conflict between ASx and FSM

Anyway, it really depends on risk appetite la
Every investment vehicle have their pros and cons, as long as you fully understand what you are investing and not bound to mislead by others
Just don't put all eggs in one basket and invest according to your comfortable ratio

p/s: personally I will love to more on ASx FP if it is not limited to branch top up only

so I really looking forward to their online system

What fishy conflict?
Nothing fishy if you just pause and think first.
And what conflict?
i have FSM UTs in amount i think is even more than those so called FSM sifus.
there should not be any conflict,
you want to glorify and say how smart you invest in FSM i have no problem,
provided you dont go repeatedly humiliating those who invest in ASX,or FD.
It's embarassing isn't it, if their FSM returns cant even match ASX's dividend?
i just hate those who repeatedly mumbled in FSM thread, "you cant save them all"
as if if we dont do like they in FSM do, we all will die here.

Don't mean to pour cold water over the consistent good dividends fire from ASX. Ha.
Like to share 1 thing I learn from CNA's Coffee With The Boss show. The boss was a farm boy in the USA and he is now a big boss in Spore (in a courier company if I remember correctly).
He learnt one important thing from his grandfather who said something to this effect:
Don't Take Good Things For Granted. Be Prepared When Things Turn Bad.
So
have ASX alternative ready when needed. Ha.
Cheerio.

No no, I am not pouring cold water on ASX. In fact, I like it. Wish I knew about it 10 yrs ago! Then I could have bought this and that just using the extra 2% over FD!
I am only alerting the danger of taking it for granted and relying on it too much.
I am in the pro-ASX camp! Ha.
What do you have there in mind?

Gold as investment? I prefer to stay at least 10 m away from it. To me it has no fundamental to it, just too much of people's fear and greed (yes, so are stocks), likes, dislikes, etc.. I would prefer other precious metals like platinum etc which have real industrial applications.
Yes, some will come back and tell me, look at the huge gain in the past few years compared to the past few decades.
Well, not my cup of tea.
No harm trying some also.

That is why I have no intention of depending on it.

Benefit from it while it is still there giving out 6%.. good things wont last.
Of course must have properties, bonds etc also.
