maximizing potential ROI

more like specifically targeting companies that I have faith in.
if anyone is interested place GUNUNG and Sunway along with Sunreit in your watch lists.

Gunung is starting their two hydroelectric dams next year

where as Sunway is starting the Iskandar Development project

Outlook for construction and property for malaysia 2017 seems to be shining brightly.

contrarian view??
BMI View: The real growth in Malaysia's construction sector is set to moderate over the coming years, decelerating from an estimated 10.7% in 2015 to 7.8% in 2016 and 6.6% in 2017. Transport segment will remain the bright spot, driving overall growth, while the non-residential segment will weight on growth.

Go Esther go!

===================

On a separate note:

My trade action for next week:

I) Continue to skim profit from US exposure (TA GTF) and India (Manulife India).

II) Top up MYR 5,000.00 into AM Asia-Pac Reits = slowpoke but steady, my kind of fun(d).

thank you Master. I know you been busy the entire week. hope everything goes well for you there.

not as a whole but you buy into specific companies. Sarawak here, multiple construction projects that have been given green light to open up factories and development areas. I intend to focus my Malaysian exposure in construction and manufacturing industries.

financial services should be underweight for the time being.

I don't suggest you to read all the post here. To be fair, the post in this version is trending one direction. Alot of new investors talking about rebalancing and skimming profits. And to be fair, they are new, while they mean good intention in giving their opinions, please understand a certain level bias exist...

I think it may be more beneficial for you to read the articles on fsm. Take the information but form your own judgement. After all, fsm articles are written by humans not fortune tellers.

On a more objective view, if you do comparison between malaysia funds and non-malaysian funds and looking at performance over long period >5 years, you will find that definitely the malaysian funds are better.

2 reasons i can think of:
1) cause lack of forex to make it more volatile.
2) non-malaysian funds have not always been that great last time (possibly due to lack of expertise, or other reasons, but i think pinkspider here mentioned once, many years ago people suffering badly due to china fund and barely struggling to break even, even now). Caveat: Lately it has been really good, but please note that this is mainly due to weak ringgit. I am unable to objectively assess whether without this effect, would the funds be showing such good return or a positive return in fact (a message i have been trying to caution new investors but falling on deaf ears).

How abt your favourite RHB AIF ? Abandoned it and focus on AM Asia Pax Reits ?

I bought during promo time at MV fair using epf monies.

dude. don't abandon rhb AIF. it's already one of the funds that propped up my portfolio after trump massacre and look at the spike in the charts.

I think xuzen made a mistake by focusing on am Asia Reits and it was one of trump victims but also recovering rapidly.

Unlike Malaysian funds.

PS. I cannot stand people who do not give any input to the conversation and never once above I read any facts or numbers from them to back up their principles but instead chose to be passive aggressive by calling us nay sayers. I would suggest if you cannot be nice or be productive do kindly not post anything at all

Nope! I am still keeping RHB AIF.

"ECB to extend bond buying by nine months until end 2017"

Can we interpret that bond fund will has a better upside ?

yes i don't think there will be another bond fund panic sell again. this trump thing is like pressing one big reset button and it now reduces the correlations between equity and bonds. all cool.

Thanks bro
Will top up AHSBoF if nothing serious happen after the rates hike....

I'm not really someone who likes confrontation and conflicts, so I'm just gonna say that you should read a lot - not just from this forum or FSM. There's no one correct way to do this, otherwise everyone would be having identical portfolio, down to the % of allocation. As long as you follow some tips like diversification, DCA/VA, risk budgeting... you're good to go. Do that and if you fail to achieve your performance target, reassess your strategy and identify what you've been doing wrong.

at the rate Anita recovers. it will be until January till I can transfer her to Esther bond. sweet! here's to a fruitful year ahead!

the full sentence by the poster are "I don't suggest you to read all the post here......"
guess you missed the word "all the post here"
