I'm wishing my funds to stay in red until gaji. I want to buy more.

at times i just don't know if i should    or  

in Feb the mkts nose dived due to fear of Fed yield up.

The Dow flip-flopped in a dramatic roller-coaster ride from plus 300 points to a closing loss of 166 points, as the 10-year yield rose to 2.95 percent, a fresh four-year high

now in Apr...U.S. BOND YIELDS: The yield on the 10-year Treasury note drew close to 3 percent on Monday, a milestone it has not reached since January 2014. It touched 2.98 percent ...

same situation (yield up) but 2 opposite reports of outcomes.....

in Feb,..some mentioned the yield goes up, cost of borrowing will be higher, businesses will be bad.....
in Apr,....those reason given in Feb is not there anymore?

his reply to this 3% magic number 

"I don't know that there is any magic to the 3.0% level other than it is a nice round number," said Jeff Mills, co-chief investment strategist for PNC Financial Services Group.
"There is no rule that says rising rates are bad for the stock market."
Mills added that since 1928, stocks have actually done a little bit better when rates have gone up.
The market has gained about 11% on average during years that rates have gone up and 9% in years of falling rates."


But jittery investors don't seem to care about historical market facts right now. They are selling first and asking questions later.

Quick question, I've been seeing everyone talking about switching to ASNB. And I've looked at their sales charge is 5% for non-kwsp.

Would that mean you would have to park it there for at least 2 years for it to be a smarter choice than bonds?

I read those. Nothing on rules. Can someone enlighten me, please? T_T

What is ASN FP?

Does anyone has info about local fund managers that utilise computer algorithm /artificial intelligence to do trading?

my port is just down 4.5% since Feb
so now currently the worst performer is  -6.7%
not much of a discount i guess......after waiting for 2 months

No one said DCA n VCA is foolproof. If u don't follow u are basically just doing random buying. So u can't call yourself doing DCA or VCA... In such case you become more like a trader n not a DCA/VCA follower. U follow your own intuition to when to enter and what to enter.

For DCA/VCA people whether it works out in the end is totally out of your control if the fund didn't perform. So do you trust in your plan or do your trust in your own gut?

Personally my gut never served me well. So I will VCA only n trust in the plan I laid out for myself

Be Wary Of Chasing Performance; Focus On 'Unimpressive Markets' & Value

It's difficult not to chase. Humans are generally emotional creatures as much as we hate to admit it.
At times, our rationality could be influenced by our emotional states, leading us to make sub-optimal decisions or mistakes.
................
Year-to-date, some of the top performing market segments include the technology sector (tech stocks) and certain emerging and frontier markets (Vietnam).
Their impressive performance thus far has caught on the attention of many from around the world.

something about Thailand.....

any good idea how to invest in these countries? especially Vietnam, economy booming there

Anyone has comments on RHB Asian Income fund? I find the performance is subpar. In good times , it doesn't grow as fast as equity but in bad times , it drops as much as pure equity funds.

I noticed the same awhile ago, so already sell off this fund......
