Sometimes FD is better as you get to sleep better.
December with just an appetizer. Do you the guts when Dec is repeated on a much bigger scale where you see your holdings becoming -ve every day?

Do nothing, buy more, run and and hide. That's the true test.

I have no problem with negative holdings. I love when market is negative as it gives me plenty of opportunity.

But my views are not shared by majority of the people.

Corporate bond can usually be bought if you a priority customer able to fork out RM250k/bond..

So only way you can buy is
1) be priority customer
2) via FSM.

China already back down. Why do you think they decide to agree to buy US product and lower trade deficit to 0%?

China got not enough firepower as US tax is hurting them more than it's hurting US.

Why do you think they agree to bring the trade deficit down to zero percent?

Latest news also said China GDP is slowing down.

If they can withstand the US trade war, why would they wave the white flag so early?

I don't think Trump cares about technological "transfers" and "piracy". All he cares is how much money he can makes from a deal and how good is he a business man to the American public.

China export majority of their stuff to US. By taxing China items, it's making China products more expensive. Hence US companies will look elsewhere. When they do it, factory output decreases. When factory output decreases, business drops. Business drops, people start losing jobs. When people start losing job, they cannot pay back loans.

China govt is cutting taxes for local companies in order try to make their people spend. If economy is good, you don't need to that.

If is not affecting China, they won't bother offering to make trade deficit zero. They will just ignore US.

If pressure is getting to the US, US willl be the first to make the move. They haven't make any move. It was China who make the first move.

Put into bond fund, interest rate increase, bond fund also drop.


Agreed. If one is worried, means put too much money inside. I on the other hand is not worried and looking forward to it.


I am trigger ready. Come on baby

When you invest, always be prepare for 1 20% drop. What are you going to do if 20% drop comes your way. Only you can answer that yourself.
If you cannot take a 20-30% drop, better don't invest in equities.

You do not sell if you need the money urgently. You sell when you want to and not when you are force to.
Also invest with money you don't need to avoid selling at wrong time.

If you think you need the money in the next 3-5 years, don't invest it.

Sign that China is bowing down to US.

Apa adjust adjust? I tak pernah get question to adjust. You bought their MAP?

I only got PRS with them.

Get ready your cash guys, if China walk away with no deal, expect market to drop badly. Time to scoop up some discounts.

For, I only buy when I feel the market have drop significantly. 1-2% drop is meh
He is right. Buy when lower to lower your average price. Of course you can't just continue buying at every 1-2% drop . Set yourself a target if it drop by x amount only I will buy.

That's why buy when got big discount. Keep those monthly DCAs for big discount sales


True.

If sell down, will add some more. Now hold.

POEMS SG. I dump FSM MY long time ago. FSM MY only for buying PRS.

I think China is the one getting hammered. One stroke of a pen and all countries which got US connection is stopping business with Huawei.

ZTE was black listed last year and lost the war to US. So US taking the same route as ZTE with Huawei. After all if it works once, why wouldn't it work again. China bargaining chip could be their rare earth.

Check your estatement from FSM. Is there.

If want to run is run before crash. Then when crash happen selecting off safe asset for high profit and pump back into US. Ideally. The 2 questions are
1) how do you know when got crash?
2) do you guts to buy?

For me personally buy more. There's some good US companies worth buying when sales is hee.

Have a plan. Stick to it. When price drop below certain threshold just buy. Of course how many here can do that? See 3% drop already want to sell. See price goes up become happy. One should only be happy if price goes up if you are intending to sell. Otherwise, no reason to be happy.
