nvm soon we can see 5x so u can buy more
with weakening USD your money will worth more units when u buy
DCA tomorrow for me

Falling from peak. SA better kick kweb out from portfolio.
US and allies keeping sanctions against China.
GG.

keep buying for KWEB!

You mean buy KEWB as in, just deposit money into SA and let it does it's job right?

Buy on USD weakness and sell on USD strength which you are in control

The only you cannot time would be the entry price if each ETF hence you need to do your DD beforehand because like those who enter during Feb on KWEB would be suffering losses as much as 30% while luckily because GLD price which are rising now helping to cushion the blow

A fair comparison would be initial deposit of rm5k and then buying on dips of march and April with rm3.5k each which helps on the FX conversions which should be showing break even still even with current volatility

Somehow my SRI 30% with IVV S n P 500 perform better than my SRi 36% portfolio. KWEB really took a big dip with current situation

pump into simple and weekly DCA. don't do lump sum

Any advise why don't do lump sum ya.. algorithm?

I actually have SA already with general investing portfolio of 36% risk..

right now at least 17% weighted return since last nov 2020

1 lump sum is like timing the market already. what if you bought in at the highest? DCA ensures you minimise that risk. but if you are confident that market won't go any lower feel free to VCA

What is DCA and VCA? sorry im bad with acronyms

However, all in all, is stashaway safe? as in wont go bust?

Dollar cost averaging: deposit same amount every fixed period
Value cost averaging: sometimes throw big amount sometimes don't put depending on market

Ah since KWEB is really down from ATH..

I guess its time to VCA for me, as it is a sore thumb seeing the money in my bank account, I need to put it in somewhere that it's quite a hassle to withdraw. Else the money would just be used for some misc expenses..

Gold is also climbing back though. and both are 20%. you make the call hehe

Why 18k, not more/not less, lol

cause I use the 5% rule capital and cut win FREIGHT from bursa then change to SA..

Cause its too hard to trade in bursa nowadays.

Other capital all bag holding right now, slowly cut batch by batch to put in SA

You think exactly like me..hahaha....gain from somewhere, then put into SA. Anyway, VCA or DCA, to me it doesn't really matter much coz I only put in money into SA when I have excess money to put in. Furthermore, we are in SA not for short term gains.

KWEB sliding down like no one's business look at how they massacre ma boi
