Trump warns of ‘Plan B’ on China trade

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump said substantial additional U.S. tariffs would be placed on goods from China if there’s no progress on a trade deal after his planned meeting with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping at the G-20 Summit in Japan.

"My Plan B with China is to take in billions and billions of dollars a month and we’ll do less and less business with them,” Trump said Wednesday during an interview with Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo.

This guy, I tell u. Champion. He says he want something, then on another hand he shoots the deal n flush it. It's so obvious he doesn't want the deal to happen. He just wants to keep on talking about it.

President Donald Trump said the U.S. was “right back on track” with China after a high-stakes meeting with Xi Jinping on Saturday.

Trump called the meeting with Xi “excellent”

“A lot was accomplished actually last night,” Trump said prior to meeting Xi. “The relationship is very good with China. As to whether or not we can make a deal, time will tell, but the relationship itself is really great,” Trump said, adding that he and Xi continued to have “a very good friendship.”

definitely not the end yet..

Stashaway that good? I'm considering to move cash from my managed portfolio over there.

I never tried Stashaway. Cant comment

doesn't matter if the feeder fund hold 0% cash...if the target fund hold 15% cash, then you are effectively having 15% cash uninvested.

will a FED rate cut weaken USD?

How much is the return so far for stashaway for 2019?

Not bad

Too many things happening, 2h 2019 also quite bad, oh well

Buying gold via unit trust is a bad idea. Slow and inefficient. Gold is best bought via SPDR gold ETF.

Ic. So like that dividendmagic guy la. So u into dividend stocks investing or etf? Malaysia or Singapore or somewhere else?

How has been the return so far. I am interested to know more too actually.
Thx will look into it.

Any witholding tax for buying etf using interactive broker? If I recall last time used to be a 30% witholding tax for non us citizen. If that's the case is it still worth it?

Tomorrow last day of 0.8% sales charge promo. Anyone going for some last minute shopping?

3 central banks cut rate:

Haih, really don't want to keep this managed fund but I need it as a benchmark for my own performance.
My guess they are performing poorly because they put in too much allocation to malaysia equity scene which is the worst performing index in Asia.


Picture gotten from here.

So for safekeeping the Normura i-income is not bad for the moment?

US? Isn't the inverted yield curves pointinng to coming recession n the mkts dropped big due to that incident yesterday?

Last time UT agents scared us by saying that govt would songlap our EPF money, so better diversify.
Now in New Malaysia still got such fear?

Sifus, am i doing this right lol

Nope why would I? EPF is still one of the best performing investment tool out there.

Like to ask those who have sold their Spore REIT in FSM on the 10% dividend tax. My understanding is, the 10% dibidend tax on REIT is for non Sporean and I assume FSM Spore does not pay that as it is a Sporean company. But when Msians sell the REIT via FSM, do they later deduct the 10% tax? Thanks.
