looking at the snapshot, the 20% GLD weightage in our 36% portfolio managed to cushion the drop yesterday.

that said tho i am still a gold hater, haha! GLD is an awesome asset to hold now when the economy is so unsure of itself. but once this all blows over, GLD will just go back to being stagnant and other EQ will begin to rise at a higher rate.

however, maybe it makes sense for a dynamic model like STASHAWAY to hold GLD right now. later when the economy recovers, STASHAWAY would pandai pandai switch back to full EQ portfolio. so we're kinda depending on their system to time the market.
*
Being stagnant might not be too bad, but what if the money put into gold right now is mirroring the event at mid-end 2011, anyone catching the gold train during that time would have been bleeding for quite some time before recovering it back this eyar.

For the gold lover, none of the equity stay depressed for such a period, even great depression has it own bull run within the great crisis. Of course there are exception such as nikkei

How did this thread diverge to english language class? Please make own thread about english language. Not good for newbie who want to understand about SA just to find out they are also learning about the english language at the same time.lol

Higher risk for a long term gain, lower risk if you cant stomach the market fluctuation and possibility of withdrawing within few years. Putting in high risk trying to ride the momentum and withdraw in a short time is not recommended due to current high volatility. You might get caught in the down swing due to the time taken to transact.

Gain compariosn between different risk level is quite irrelevant as we only taking a snapshot in time which includes the crash in march where the lower risk would relatively has a much lower impact.
SA is not around long enough to give any meaningful comparsion between risk level in my opninion.

They sent an email to clarify and apologise and how they plan on making up for it. No need report to SC and all, seems extreme.

It is ok to report only to serve as a warning to avoid future blunder.

Well, to each their own.

As for me i will keep using SA as long as no more major fakap event.Surely SA need to get a proper warning for this to avoid future occurence.

For now i will keep on investing and SA needs to notify us about the fault of current system, what is their plan to improve it and when it would be done. No, i am not talking about the reversal of the amount debited, but what is in place to avoid it in future. They need to be transparent to regain ny trust.

The use of tech startups for doing this auto debit, now sounds like a stupid fark up to me.

I mean, in this day and age, still need new tech to do this?

I wonder what else do they sub-out to which newbie now....

Which begs the question, anything else being sub out to incompetent company? While trying to reduce cost (just an assumption, no way someone is paying full price for being this incompetent) , SA took a gamble on something that can affect their reputation.

For me I am not too satisfied but apa boleh buat

Just happy that got some compensation which again overlapping with my referral

I guess I am the only few that is not happy
Everyone here seems to be very happy with how SAMY handle the situation
It is like they curi your money then did not tell you till you find out from your friend that your money kena curi and then you check really kena curi (found out from this forum then check my account)
Then you confronted the thief, the theif blame another thief (Curlec)
Then few hours later again the theif curi without telling you (2nd time auto debit)
Then the thief email you ask you don't worry they will return money to you next day before 11pm
Then next morning you check your email and found out that the thief try curi again but fail (auto debit failure cause bank no more money)
Finally the theif return all the money that they curi but some receive partial some recevie full
Then slowly everyone got their money back
And everyone is happy that the thief return their money and continue to trust the thief
so everyone live happily ever after together and continue trusting the thief
-the end-

Uncle, the best way to show dissatisfaction is to take out all of your investment.

Btw, i did the same with wahid, i took all out because i was dissatisfied with explaination regarding myetf mmid and no reason given on why they do not change to a better etf. I know it is a different issue , but then again, i was not satisfied.

As for me, i will continue with SA for the time being until another major fakap which could inconvenince me or unnecesarily increase my risk.

If anyone is curious, i managed to transfer by jom pay yesterday night, and the fund is transferred to SA this morning and the buy order is already in que for today.

Just to clarify, the two previous transaction is slower by one working day. All other transaction was this fast except with those previous two.

I’d love more discount but not expect any. What I do want is detailed explanation, and prevention steps. Also reassurance that my funds are always safe. Not too much right?

As they say, fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.

And yes, I’m still investing as of now.

And I just realise that no portfolio is now with S&P500. Right?

I still have the old one over here at 36%, but new user has no access, only user who reject optimisation and join before May will have such portfolio. Just to clarify, i also have the newer 36% portfolio with gold,KWEB but i only DCA 25% there and 75% in the US centric portfolio.

So s&p 500 is still there as IVV.

It will not be deposited today since it is a public holiday. I checked with SA, even buy order for fund that is already in SA will not be executed as it is public holiday over here.

QUOTE(chichabom @ Jul 31 2020, 09:40 AM)
thanks. but another concern of mine is with gold taking up 20% of total allocation and with its current all time high price. With gold price showing no signs of retreating in current climate, means we are continuously buying it at higher prices through dca. If gold prices were to crash suddenly for whatever reason (which happened before in 2011 or 2013 i think) then all of us will get a good beating.

well the above could be avoided if SA performs another round of reoptimization by disposing gold just before any possible crash as "predicted" by their algorithm. guess we just have to trust SA in this or another way is for us to cash out SA if we feel gold will crash soon.
*
Same concern with me especially with the 20% gold allocation which is why i kept the US centric portfolio. Since we cant really adjust our exposure on gold through SA. I allocate 25% of fund on the newer portfolio with gold, thus adjusting to 5% overall exposure to gold through SA.

I just checked in the app, actually they did put in buy order during Malaysia public holiday which goes against their reply through whatsapp. Maybe they are confused about fund transfer , IBG and jom pay.

Not complaining , just that I gave the wrong info yesterday.

Are you referring to etf unit buy order? Then it follows US market which is still a normal business day. As long as the money is already in your portfolio (converted to USD), the robo advisor platform automatically calculates the breakdown and process the buy order when US market opens.l
*
Sure i do know that the ETF is traded in NYSE,lol. If like wahid, one of the etf traded in KLSE, definitely no need to ask their CS.

What i am saying is that reply from SA was wrong .I have no experience with buy order executed in Malaysia public holiday and hence why i asked SA. The reply was no buy order executed in Malaysia public holiday, it is good to know that actually the buy order is executed anyway if the fund is already in their system.

I would advise NOT to get ILP. Keep protection and investment separate.

100% agree, there are better vehicle for investment. Most ILP benefit the insurance agent@salesman more than a non ILP insurance that is why they are pushing it. Btw, i am almost 40 and i never took any insurance and totally depended on my company. The money not given to insurance company is invested instead.

yikes. company insurance is bad and always got quota. if got 2 person need to have bypass operation and the company has only coverage for one then you are fucuked.
ILP is a buffer to prevent premium increase that's all. not a way to make money but to ensure your premium stays at the same price as long as possible (assuming the funds are profitable).
*
Ok, are u assuming everyone has the same benefit? I have weight the risk and benefit from opting out of insurance early on during my career. This is of course case by case basis, if your company give shit coverage dont assume others got the same coverage.

I was lucky that in the first 10 year of my career i got good coverage from the company. Which is the reason why opting out of insurance route was taken. Now even my new company is not providing good health benefit, i am still covered by my cash reserve and partially from my wife company insurance.

Btw, how long have u taken ILP? Whatever you said about ILP is exactly what an agent would say.LOL. you yourself said, assume profitable, any cold hard data to backup your assumption?
