based on the chart?
based on how long the data?...
is the point of reference for rebound starts at the lowest?
is the point to start calculating the bull runs start from that lowest point?
if yes, then for how long does it takes considered a bull run?
how much rises from that lowest point in % and at what durations can it be considered as a bull run?
how does one know if it is not a trap or if that bull run is a mini one or a full all out crazy bull?

how can one be sure the odds in in one favour of outperforming ASNB FP? .....unless by looking back in history some time later.

wow.. kopitiam thread ka?
i thought i clicked on the wrong link.. devolved?

my bad.. just thinking logical investing thread or kopitiam thread <back into the shadows>

  just seeking for clarification of your thought......for most of the time your replies are so vague or full of other possibilities,...thus I need to really seek more clarification to determine where and how your replies fits into my queries.

Poor poor Kambing biri-biri jed,

Kena bertubi-tubi and yet come back to answer all questions thrown at him. You've got grit, kid, I'll give you that.

Why do you find his method strange and yet he find it not strange?

In my mind, I think he is applying a strategy that is correct in income / dividend investing to Unit Trust Fund which I have explained earlier, should use a different strategy.

I shall not repeat about UTF strategy today, but instead, let me talk about income investing strategy and you'll see Ramjade's perspective clearer.

Income investing is always looking at yield. It can be dividend received from stocks ( dividend yield ), rent receivable ( property ) or coupon receivable ( bonds ). And from this, you can understand why Ramjade keep on harping on lowering price of the said equity or asset. He is, rightly or wrongly, or delusional thinking if the dividend is constant, then buying at lower price of the asset will surely give me higher yield.
For bond, where the coupon payment is fixed, a lowering of bond price will get you a better yield. But then, you hardly see bond price move. Bond price moves in range of basis points or bips. 1 bips = 0.01%. If you are a retail investor, a few bips movement will not make you excited anyway.

For equity, where the dividend declared is not fixed, a lowering of stock price may or may not give you a better yield. Let's take TNB. If it gives you a yield of 4.XX% and the price has been battered down, then it makes sense to buy more of it assuming that in future the business modal of TNB is not affected by the economic climate. That is why in Ramjade's mind, he is always thinking of getting lower and lower and lower stock price. What if, the price is battered down due to a possibility that TNB cannot sustain the same dividend payout in the future? Will you then buy even the price is trending lower? Hence, always looking for higher yield by wishing a lower price is anchored on the assumption that the dividend payout remains the same or higher.

For property / REITs included, the same concept applies.

But poor Ramjade has forgotten, UTF is not stock per se. Strategy employed is different. That is why he kena flacked all over here because he is like trying to sell Arsenal jersey to Man-U fans at Old Traford.

Xuzen

now don't move around liao....

this period those atas people start to have pattern. Some FI fund I see the manager also already hold 100% cash. I think they might know something we don't.

Becareful.

Looks like the market will further bottom in coming days . Ramjade prophecy is real.

any news?

seems ok only..

Agreed: Missing timeframe.

Anyone can comment on the severity for a mkt like this, if this happens, if that happens, if breaks 25000... etc,... I see this everyday in my Inbox sent to me by NABTrade.

I have a term now: Index Traps. The indices go up a bit,... people start fearing they might miss the boat. Many jumped in,... then two days later they drop again,...careful bros and sis,...

We have Value Traps, Yield Traps and Growth Traps. This time round,... we have Index Traps !!! The indices are luring us into the snake holes....

You probably mean kiss goodbye 2017-2018 gain...

depends on port allocation. I'm half-way into 2017 already.
As for wishing good luck, personally, i don't care much, but majority of people here won't share your wishes 

i'd do this too IF..
a. market crashed (past tense) >20%, preferably >=30%
b. i've at least 3 months' expenses stashed away in somewhere

IMHO:
i'm still waiting for the "crashed" (past tense) to start deploying using "leveraged $". Other than Shanghai Index + maybe South Korea's KOSPI, not much lelong this month's "crash", especially MY's stocks - relatively speaking.

Just to summarize, is the following method a better way to perform dollar cost averaging (DCA), in general for any unit trusts?

1) Downtrend in NAV is anticipated over the next few months.
- Completely stop DCA. Deploy the fund (meant for DCA) for e-fixed deposit, or in money market.
2) Downtrend severity in NAV starts to reduce (NAV price curve starts to reduce and gradually flattens), with the possibility of NAV rebound within the next month (economy may start to be better)
- Perform DCA with partial fund.
3) NAV starts to rebound, with uptrend in NAV expected within the next few months.
- Perform DCA, with full intended fund every month.
Is my understanding correct, about the proper way to perform DCA? Appreciate a few tips, from FundSuperMart expert inventors here.   

If based on lessons from the past, it's not timing but ultimately the time in the market that matters.

wow looks who's back

so, what's your take on 2019? is the bear really come for real? Dow touched 22k. but bounced.  even from 26k point....

all market shoot up. at least 1%.

market start recover? or just brewing a perfect storm?

Damn just when I was about to top up PRS for 2019!

Low enough for me to take advantage. You are either in one of these 2 camps:

1) 2019 will only get better
2) More downturn to come in 2019

Then you act accordingly. After all, PRS money can only be taken out at 55 years old, all these won't really matter 25 years down the road (my time horizon).

i think most of the fund are around-20% from peak 2017.

Can start dca minimum amount weekly to start off.

But as other said. the big date is still this march.

Then u safe from Oct to December dip....

Nice! Which funds did you top up

Trade war ending SOON?
US won?

jump into the EQ mkts now?

There has been an unexpected development in the US-China trade war. Chinese trade officials apparently offered a huge concession earlier this month: a promise to completely eliminate its trade surplus...
