Not as quite straight forward for things that pay interest - cert of deposits (FD), directly held US treasury are exempt. Certain or all municipal bonds are exempt too. But not US treasury ETFs though

sigh.... now I'm also very confused liao ..... nevermind lah....

by the way, if buy SXR8, then the intraday movement is not much since half of the time, it doesn't overlap with the NYSE?

Sifus here, want to ask.

In the first post it is mentioned that the most cost effective amount to hoot is 18k, we get the most out of our money.

This means that if I wanted to DCA in the most effective way, I must do it 18k at a time. right?

alright cool

but how do we know if tradestation global is really holding the assets on behalf of us? Or do we just need to take their word for it?

if they gg, our money also gg?

also, is the 7k hoot on tradestation global more cost effective than the 18k hoot on captrader?

Don't get what you meant by high income products? Or you meant high yield?

Sure you pay 1.5% for EUR, but it'll be a bet that USD will not weaken against Euro. If it's that easy and certain everyone would be doing it, right?

I'm more of an investment grade guy, but you can check out iShares High Yield Corp Bonds - https://www.ishares.com/uk/individual/en/pr...-bond-ucits-etf

Don't go all out with 100% high yield for your bond holdings though, maybe 10-15% of your total bond holdings if you want to take some risk and only when your total portfolio is big enough (assuming 15% of total bond and you're on 20/80 ratio for bond/equity - it's just a measly RM15k for a RM500k port)
Hypothetically would you take out a 4.8% MYR loan, convert and dump into a 6% IDR FD? You might end up with more IDR at maturity, but IDR might've weaken at that point you'll still bleed money after converting IDR -> MYR and settling the MYR loan. Oh and don't forget you're serving the MYR loan while waiting for the IDR FD to mature. If IDR rallies instead, lucky you.

3%, 1.5% means what?? Isn't this rate compounded daily?

that 7-10% is a yearly dividend yield, no? How to cover?

then, everything in EUR???

will EUR/MYR go up or down after brexit?

so it costs 1USD extra to invest in Irish domiciled ETF, as opposed to US domiciled. So 12 months would be 12 USD extra per ETF.

DCA in 12 months for 1 ETF = 12 USD. No? Because extra 1 USD per trade. 

US has no exchange fees? how come?
