Which means that with KWEB falling drastically all this while, any deposit will largely be allocated to buy KWEB so that the risk profile could be rationalised in each individual's risk portfolio?

That being the case, biggest worry is the Chinese tech companies especially with the CCP changing policies at a whim.

I am now reviewing my Chinese related stocks because of Emperor Xi

https://www.reuters.com/breakingviews/xis-w...ick-2021-08-18/

HONG KONG, Aug 18 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Chinese President Xi Jinping is fleshing out his plans for wealth redistribution. He wants to restrain “unreasonable income”, hike wages and expand the middle class, per a readout of a top-level conference on Tuesday, which helps explain his recent rough treatment of corporate tycoons. Funding fiscal transfers and social services could entail fresh burdens for China Inc, and the long-delayed property tax may be implemented at last.

The wealthiest 1% of Chinese people now hold 31% of the country’s wealth, up from 21% two decades ago, per a Credit Suisse report. The pandemic, which hit small businesses and poor workers hardest, has exacerbated the gap, yet the number of newly-minted ultra-rich surged 50% compared to 2019 as financial markets popped.

It is easy for Xi to make rich people less rich; investors wiped up to $1 trillion off the value of listed Chinese companies since February as officials and state media went after e-commerce giants, video-game companies, after-school tutors and property developers.

But increasing disposable incomes for ordinary people, which only grew 1% for urban residents in 2020, will be trickier in a system better at driving growth through investment than consumption. It will require fresh fiscal transfers and increased social spending, and companies and wealthy people will probably be on the hook to help pay. For example, while executives ranging from Tencent's (0700.HK) Pony Ma to Meituan's (3690.HK) Wang Xing have already stepped up their charity efforts, that probably won’t stop Beijing from bringing tax rates for internet companies, long held at a preferential rate of 10%, back up to the 25% corporate standard.

The biggest change might be the implementation of a controversial, long-delayed property tax. Real estate contributes 70% to China's wealth gap, noted Li Shi, an expert on income distribution at Beijing Normal University. Yet Xi’s campaign to cool prices has struggled to find traction. A tax could have three benefits: cooling speculation that makes ownership financially onerous for ordinary people; putting empty flats into rental market; and extracting contributions from those whose wealth is concentrated in apartments. On the other hand it could hammer an industry that directly and indirectly contributes as much as a quarter of GDP. But at this point investors are ill-advised to bet against Xi’s resolve.

Well....KWEB is at the mercy of the CCP. That is the risk now. It is something beyond the control of everyone except Emperor Xi.
THAT is a big risk.

At this moment Baba is now 157 and Tencent at 424.

No sign of slowing as yet. Falling knife is still sharp!

Mine is similar to yours. MINUS 51.04%

i sympathize with you.

All our portfolios are dragged down by this ETF.

Question:

When one deletes a portfolio, how long does it take for SA to sell the ETFs and to return the funds to your bank account?

Thanks
How about the selling bit?

My own portfolio is out performing SA by a long way since Feb 2021.

No ETFs. Stocks.

There are some China exposure which have actually done well.
SA's problem is KWEB, tech stocks. i do not have those.

I don't need growth if my portfolio pays 8% of dividends every year. But they do have capital gains too.

What are ETFs made up of?

What is a portfolio of stocks?

I understand the ETFs of SA spreads out the risks according to their system.

i am just making a comment about my portfolio vs SA. Is that wrong?

I asked you about ETFs because you seem to forget ETFs are baskets of STOCKS, albeit themed basket.
Neither you me. SO get down from your high ivory tower.
Why should a simple comment invoke such NASTY response?
There are many newbies who after seeing your ASSed comments may be afraid to ask apple and oranges questions!

Get down from your ivory tower.

You were a newbie once.

Otherwise, sod off.

i am all grown up at 60.

All grown and reported THREE times, no less.

Indeed. In such serious threads as these, we must realise that this is all rather educational. There are newbies who are learning as i am about SA.
We must therefore be somewhat courteous and encourage learning from each other to enable educated decisions to be made.
Thereafter, Decisions are then your own.

I should not. But i choose to. What are ETFs made up of?
Is there a ETF for crypto?

So should we discuss GOLD? Last i saw there is this GLD in SA.

And you do well to worry about yourself than with a 60 year old guy.
Can't imagine because you are still a young sod?
Sod off now because you slide in condescending trash in between your lines. Show some respect to a 60 year old.
