Reminds me of Aug 2015. Time to overcome fear n be greedy.

What assets are u looking for?

Malaysia doesn't have big gold mining companies. So duh.. there is none in KLSE. For the commodity related stocks, it's mostly OnG or Plantations on KLSE.. That's a reflection of our economy.

Last few years, commodity generally has sucked as a long term investment, but u can still make money if u are observant enough. Look at the few months price chart of Felda. Even such a sad company could have made you nearly 100% returns fif u buy in January!

And if u want pure gold. There is the Affin Hwang Goldetf (0828EA). I personally have some of that atm.

Now a bit more than 10% of portfolio.

Im not bias towards gold st all. If I'm bias ithe allocation should b much higher right?

Gold is not a good recession hedge to be honest. Bonds are better. Gold is for something worse.. Crisis, conflicts,, debasement of currency etc. Its insurance investment. Early last year my gold allocation was less than 5%. Now it's more than 10%. I slowly top up when I can. It's just my sense of the risks of economy f**k up has increased. I also hv bonds n cash (MYR n USD) n some stocks of course (hence I'm more active here).

Bond funds, that's the easiest

For normal investors there is now Retail Bond offered by via iFAst (Fundsupermart). Min RM1k.

Payment date is 29 August.. So wait.

Ali Baba is not listed in HK..

I don't know the actual structure n last report I saw the listing has been postponed. Btw AliBaba NYSE listing is not its shares, but is in the form of American Depository Receipts.

I would expect that there won't be too big a difference between the prices in the 2 markets. However, it won't be exactly the same either, due to time zone as some news could impact one market before the other.

Save until u have at least RM5k..

Haha.. Then that's not bad.

But high growth, high dividend and recession proof counter.. I don't think any such stock exist.

I never used it actually..

Say I like a stock, but I don't like the price enough to buy at tht time. I will put it in my watch list (which could be even my head only when Im lazy) with some idea of what a good price should be. When the price hits that level, I re-assess the stock again n then buy. I'm not particular of a few ticks.

Same as a sell..

I prefer to keep things flexible n in control.

Bad time for me was in end 2015, but by mid 2016 already recovered. Nowadays smarter (or luckier).

But it really depend on composition of your portfolio, timing and your corrective actions. Hard to telll. Possible that it can never recovers..

Similar to Berkshire. At the moment, approx (+- 1%):

40% Equities
30% Cash MYR
5% Cash USD (was 10%)
20% Bonds MYR
5% Gold (was 12%, but took profit n moved to bonds and some equities)

This is not yet a financial crisis allocation.. More like balanced.

U can sell or wait until the date of maturity to exercise the warrant (top up cash to get new mother share).

A warrant being an option is a leveraged instrument of the underlying mother share. Meaning it's value can go up or down at a higher % than the mother. There is actually a math option formula on what's the actual value of the warrant at certain point in time. However, this WA type of warrants is a company warrant without market makers (unlike C n H warrants), so the value sometimes doesnt follow theory one. There is also time decay to be aware off. An option losses value over time.

U have to read the disclosure.. Company warrants can be both types. At the maturity period, if u don't exercise n u don't already sell, u burn lar. But if it's out of the money at maturity, it's burn already.

I never exercise one before, always sell on market way before. .
