As said many times, I think all of Stashaway's learning material is good. Value at risk or volatility or standard deviation all same thing, tracking the how much an asset changes over time.

It is really important to understand what you are buying. Forget about returns for a while, always remember how much risk you are taking.

I;m like should i just plonk a some money into KWEB or not....lol. AFAIK there is not a chinese fund doing as well as KWEB.

I'm so proud of you!

It is "all in" if you have no more spare cash. But at the same time obviously it achieves the dca effect, no doubt.

This is some thing I've been preaching for some time and finally someone thinks I'm right lol.

sell all, immediately spend the same $ amount that you put in initially, keep the $ amount that you think you have profited. When the price of the asset drops (that is motivation to sell, correct?), buy more units with the money you have retained.

So in nett, you end up with more units for the same $.

The inverse is if the assets keep rising you get less than what you started with.

Yes they do. Just click in deeper.

our resident oracle @xander83 was correct, thursday + Friday correction. This may extend if people want to compound the bad news with Texas harsh winter and oil prices shoot up.

Up to you to decide to top up or just close your eyes for few days / weeks / months.

Out of curiosity, I checked a few of the last transactions. The buy price correspond quite well to 11.30am price in yahoo finance of the buy date.

Now what day it will buy is still a mystery, because it really depends on a chain of transactions for example jompay, direct debit or Simple (the longest chain).

Could be 1 day or even 4 days if you encounter weekends + holiday hiccups

Dude, the day you put in some punctuations, I will send you voucher.

with your high frequency trades + oracle abilities I doubt you need bucks from me.

Buy the dip! Except you won't know the depth and width of the valley.

Please remember that stashaway is design for buy and hold more than 3 years. It is not designed for trading. So, if you want to try the trading stuff, I suggest you keep a record of whether actually you will make more by just buy and hold.

Remember the game of buying and selling / timing the market vs buy and hold?

Tonight gonna be quite red, as red as last month GME. Credit to Buffet. Actually recently I've been thinking a lot about his saying on the high tide and low tide. Perhaps some kkb will be exposed soon.

means you are wearing swim trunk underneath.

Sorry if I made you guys panic.fyi I am directly invested in the markets and that makes me even more nervous. But at the same time correction must occur. Just a small tiny bump in the scheme of things. Akin to sept 2020 (I think that was something to do with vaccine not working or something). On the bright side recovery stocks are starting to pick up so generally indexes are going to be ok soon.

Also big whales are dumping tech as they already eat enough. From last year to now.

Left retailers to pick up the leftovers in arkk etc. Looks kinda ugly but it is what it is.

I heard buffet has reduced his Apple holdings substantially recently.

Like it or not. If buffet croaks, burps or diarrhoea, our stashaway will get affected.

Ai does not really decide much except automate the purchase and sales and also just manages the fringes of the portfolio imbalance and overloads when certain asset weightage exceed the fixed portfolio balance. IMHO this is a great task for automation as it humans are wasted if everyday employed to babysit your portfolio balance just to follow a fixed formula anyway.

This is no different from atm machine taking away the job of the teller.

Warren buffet team has always competed against mutual funds, active stock picking and passive indexing.

The only constant is change, and its profitable to embrace it.

Please remember Jan 2008 is a worse case scenario. Lehmann collapse, Freddie mac, fannie mae, and housing mortgage crisis. Another way to look at the same section of graph is if you lump sump all ur monies in 2008 but still dca, you will reach break even or profit way faster than 4 yrs.
