hmmm, you are really weird

You pick arguments about points that I never even said.

So, you said "Yes, I agree with you,". No problems, I agree with you too. 

Let me put it in a different perspective, i don't know how the other person thinks but IMO yes, you rebalance but not on a daily basis. or even weekly/monthly for that matter. i've not been following this thread that often cause it's veering in a direction i disagree, which is constantly talking about investing here and there, add this new fund... 'hey i recommend a portfolio that looks like this because you have too much of this and too little of that' (seriously there's no perfect portfolio in this world, if there is i won't be investing in unit trust, i'll buy stocks).

my last 2 mistakes is add more funds... !@#$!@#$. should have stick with my original plan.

then again, who would have known bond fund gonna drop the way they did after trump won...

Childish response. Try something more adult.

No, sorry, that's bullshit.

Investing should be for a reason, not "style".

Of course: "which geography to buy, which asset class to buy.". I agree.

Now, where does "style" come into the picture?

i'm just describing a general observation from what i can observe for the past few months. i do agree people do things differently. but how do i explain it, statements like the below will kinda support why i said what i said previously. I don't explain myself very well, but oh well, we can agree to disagree continue to work out my UT stuff in peace.
Before i go to sleep, put in a different perspective, over this less than 1-month time span,

a) you are right for now... if you are only investing for this 3 weeks, yes, you are right. over 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 10 years?

b) is this active managing or betting on the right horse? i point this out, out of genuine reminder. there's fine line, betting right this time, won't make it right next time unless you really know what you are doing.

c) it's a also a human thing (fallilibility???) that they only remember one side of things and not the other. In another perspective, maybe you can try to count as well, when are the times you should not have done anything, but you did and compare before you draw such conclusions.

And that is where the debate started.

Not so much as what you do, but the why you do something, and the rationale behind it.

You said it before. But SD = 3 years. So where do you get the reward part? I don't see it listed anywhere (returns)

I just intra switch from my TA Dana Afif and Eastspring bond funds into TA European Equity Fund, TA Global Technology Fund, Eastspring Emerging Markets Fund and Eastspring Global Leaders.

Lump sum investment. Either I will make some money or go out in a blaze of glory. Muahahahaha. 

That title of the article is "An alternative to playing mutual funds game"

Heretics! Blasphemy!

Where can play mutual fund wan? We are serious long term investors wor!

POTUS election date was 8/11/2016.

Today is 2/12/2016 which is exactly 30 days after the trigger event.

Market was in disarray. Doom and gloom. Market reacted like a headless chicken. The rest following the herd mentality also run around like headless chicken.

What did you do?

I remembered myself to continue DCA into REITs, RHB AIF and India fund.

Today, in 30 days time post POTUS election, my port is already back up and making positive gain, and that the important part was, I did not change my port drastically.

This Trump tantrum only lasted about a month. Is nothing compared to the early of the 2016 China circuit-breaker fiasco..... lasted a whole half a year to stabilise and make a reversal.

p/s If can tahan the China circuit - breaker fiasco, what is this little Trump effect?

The game is not over yet .....

If you follow the stock market trend, US seems to be in red for 1 or 2 days already.

I took an anti-view to yours. I sold a huge position in US and top up into AMReits. Looks like in one months performance; you made the right call this round, good friend. Your call made you 9% gain in Manulife US equity versus my 1% gain in AMReits.

Maybe you can hedge that by investing in a US-focused equity fund after all it is denominated in USD, if the exchange rate goes up, you will spend more for tuition, but the value of your holdings will increase

You went for CFA exam too?
