those looking to place some bets on fund that has chances of beating >6% annualised.....
List Of Most Consistent Performing EPF Funds in FSM Platform
https://www.fundsupermart.com.my/main/resea...-EPF-Funds-9445

depending on the funds.....my wild guess would be about 10 days ~ 2 weeks
yes, CIMB Greater China can rise > 2% in this Ninja period.....so can it fall > 2% too during this Ninja period 

Actually you should switch to FI when bullish or near peak, and switch to EQ when deep bear or near bottom.

The keywords here is "near peak" and "near bottom".  If you can master it, you own the market 

yes, it is workable,.....only "If'
the index dropped drastically
the funds have stocks holdings that are directly correlated to the index

the indexes or stocks of various mkts are being held by the fund in those indexes and are dropping drastically too.

sometimes the index drop are affected by a certain stocks or segment of the mkt which are not being held by that fund.
sometimes the forex currencies movement would smoothen or amplify the NAVs of the fund
sometimes EQ and FI may drop together too.

ut investing "is" supposed to be for passive investing purposes

plan, select, allocate, buy, monitor, review and make rebalancing/changes when necessary after a period of time

when the indexes corrected in the early of FEB......there are many reasons being given....
ex...
why the Dow is plunging
http://money.cnn.com/2018/02/02/investing/...ping/index.html

has the reason suddenly disappeared or righted itself or just being out of sight and mind for a while?

it might come back with another vengeance soon....

so be warned ...end of the world is coming   

now new year also over liao.

from last year dec say wait cny over now also over liao.

why la this drop drag so long sighhhh

Please don't get me wrong guys.
I intend to do this because I want to
-lock profit (miss many times to lock already)
-I need money now
-to cut lost. I did rebal last august and yea, that's the time most fund fly high and now drop deep and I cant afford to lost it after my managed port bleed real bad.

However, those who see this as an opportunity, the coming drop is really good time to buy in.

Tariffs are typically the domain of left-wing governments. Though it is getting less clear-cut nowadays.

But if you look at Obama's record (even for a Democrat, ie left-wing), there were no protectionist policies that I can re-call.

If you look at the Republicans, the speaker Paul Ryan actually protested against the protectionist policies.

Every sane and logical person understands that a trade war does not serve any one country any good. You might gain something, but you will lose more.

But Trump is a politician, and he needs to do something to "keep his word", because that's what he promised during, and what won him, the election.

Therefore, I postulate that he is only pandering to his electoral base, and will not pursue this matter much further.

2018 market IS NOT FI market definitely, esp those Foreign bond funds.
I have moved out all my bond funds with FSM, buying ASNB FP slowly / worse case buy Msia Bond Fund at eUT. I think I will  one year later if maintain my FI portion with FSM .

I do strongly agree to buy in dip, but you should buy into the CORRECT MARKET and RIGHT FUND during dip. CORRECT MARKET is more important to RIGHT FUND.

Fyi, my portfolio had been up >3% YTD (>3 months salary) because i bought during recent dip. My profit is very close to the peak on 24/01.
I switched in around 10% of my UT portfolio from FI to EQ on 06 Feb, 09 Feb, 28 Feb and 02 March.
And, i switched out from EQ on 26/01 and 26/02 with around 7% profit in 1 or 2 months.
** look at the date above ==>  i bought near the bottom/ lowest of month, and sold at the peak of month. 

I would like to say that it is REBALANCING.

Many people here forgot about REBALANCE : always hoo ray hoo ray when market is up, then cry dad cry mum during dip.
When market is up, u should take out some portion of EQ and put it to FI.
When market is down, u should take out some portion of FI and put it to EQ.
=====

The other obvious problem that i observed here is: don't know how to sell. They buy during the dips, they buy with DCA or VCA or advanced tenique, buy, buy and buy, BUT don't bother to sell or lock profit in FI. They only sell when they need money. it will be a problem.

many more...

Investment is an art... not engineering.. so there is NO 1 formula for all people... but there is some common sense we should follow.

Happy investing.
