The inner market timer inside me:
- USD is too strong now and gonna come down soon
- Dead cat bounce, bull trap, whatever, the earnings in Q2 would be really bad we only know in next few months

Maintaining DCA

u see total volume and total value
most of the volume come for small to mid cap

+1

saving bullet for that lump sum value investing opportunity on top of weekly DCA.

they call it the stockists at work.

Same thought too.

Very likely 1300 isn’t the lowest point. Macam creat trap for those newbies

hahaha my thought too.
let's do a simple analysis since we are on KLCI index now.

During the 3rd quarter last year, Sept 2019 results announced in Nov 2019
and the 4th quarter last year, Dec 2019 results announced in Feb 2020.

They still shown a kinda good results and a lot of window dressing especially 4th quarter announcements in Feb 2020.

Then after that, market plunged to its low in March 2020 and now mid April 2020 it has recovered a little (like a mini bull market, or a bull trap to me).

So the full effect of the covid19 crisis which happens beginning of this year up till now, or even into May/June/July for it to somewhat recover.

The poor results 1st quarter and 2nd quarter of this year hasn't been announced yet and we will only see the results being announced in May 2020 and August 2020.

My take is, we haven't seen the lowest until such announcements been announced.

Let's take a look at some of the companies, no operations during the MCO period and certainly will take a hit, but share price is still going up, so who is working hard on pushing on the prices?

And I'm hopeful that all the small newbie retailer won't be trapped by then

I personally think it's a matter of market confidence from investors. Since malaysia is not hit hard, with our actually working healthcare, the only downside is companies are forced to halt operations, BUT some can be allowed to open as usual albeit upon approval from government. That makes it very unlikely that malaysia will go lower or even close to recession due to the proactive actions of government and their ruling allowing some non-essential businesses to operate.

Compared to western countries, where the impact is more severe (higher cases/higher deaths) plus pay gap between the rich and poor which is very wide compared to Malaysia. Probably investors are still confident in Malaysia's capabilities to recover faster compared to other countries.

Most of the stock market depends on uncertainty (Malaysia has less than other countries) and investor confidence (we handled this pandemic pretty swiftly and efficiently).

Anyone can correct me if I am wrong, but this is my 1 cent. (should be 2 cents but MYR getting weaker)

For me, as long as the market is operating. There will lose and gain counter.
Even it’s pandemic, counter related to ewallet, healthcare will earn a lot. As well as consumers counter like nestle and others. Their earning may be bad for this q, but it won’t be long. And their price should not be sky high for now.
REITs, should be dropping as no business. Bank also because loan is not making it.
However, all those counter seems like against the nature law. Lol.

One can earn in any condition as long as the market is running.

Like in SA, my energy seeing +20% but others who enter long ago isn’t gain the same as I.

Same in bursa. Just that bursa is weird but for now. They are gain by counter. Not sector.

ETF seems to be bull again coupled with forex gain, my portfolio has almost recoup all the previous loses from the market crash earlier. How about you guys?
Btw, my risk index is 22%

what does this mean

risk 22%

Myr-twr +8.46%
Myr-mwr +7.34%

Usd-twr +3.44%
Usd-mrw +0.33%

same, now positive again.

previous gains all wiped out by the recent tumbles and into negative territory, now recovering and seeing positive number again.

Yesterday a bit drop . today onwards might see recovery

Waiting for this in my portfolio to exit for the moment. The market could crash again once the stimulus loses steam.

How many of us actually waiting for the small rise to withdraw all and how many continue DCA?

with the fed announced unlimited QE and direct purchase of ETFs, its hard to imagine the market crash more tho

well, do whatever to ease your emotion

Why not you create a poll instead of asking here.

But the unemployment rate across the world (and especially in US) are increasing. QE will lose it steam soon

this i agree
but i dont really agree with market will reach new low
