Besides the friend with RM500 strike a few days ago, no other strikes?

Need data to see if they have capped the sales on Myasnb platform, maybe to RM500. So no point in trying a larger amount?

Any of the fixed funds, ASM, ASM2 or ASM3.

Wah, can you buy it and then transfer it to me? Ha. That is one way around this issue unless it is non transferable.

My ASNB contact says no more FPF is available via MyASNB, only via the FPF & VPF combo. But a friend here stated RM500 strike a few days ago. So ...?

Anyone here knows how good is the sale for the combo? If bad, then that will reduce the working capital for investment. Can expect lower dividend % next year if they hold a lot of unsold FPF. Hope that they have a sensible system in place, and only hold a small x% for the combo. The rest, they allow us to fish. Ha. Then that money they can put back into investment.

Of course, I still remember you. Good to have extra eyes & ears on when giant fish came to shore for us to lay our net. Ha.

The current economy can go either way (my gut feeling says another big dip). Prefer to park some money there for use later.

Whatapps me if you know some are available. Ha.

Cheerio.

Thanks for the update.

Thanks.

The combo promotion is from May to Dec 22. So your timing seems to fit into this.

I have tried for the past 5 days, easily 100 clicks per day and got zero.

I dont mind if there were many fishermen (or fisherwomen) competing, with me getting zero fish.

BUT ... if it were that they stopped having FPF on the platform WITHOUT informing the public, then I do mind, A LOT! What a waste of time, effort, sore wrist, etc etc for nothing.

I really hope someone from ASNB is reading this. Please pass it to the top management. PM me for my tel number and I will oblige.

ASNB is under the Finance ministry, right?

Thanks.

Infor from ASNB insider?

I see. Mine here is not that forward, more of a sales person. Get me confused with his replies. Ha.

I did ask mine whether he could help me with the fishing. But the answer was no.

I remember driving to banks and post office to catch some fish. One lady at CIMB, one gent at Affin and most Post Office staff were really helpful when I showed up with the forms and passbook. I ordered some pizza for the Post Office staff as the end of the year makan. That was before internet purchase was possible. Good old days but disappointing when no strike with many drives here and there. Ha. Oh ya, fishing in the old days was risky as I had to carry cash with me.

I have not tried for quite some time now. Like to know whether online purchase of ASMx is possible now?

If possible, lots of fish there?

Wah, bagus news. Can try now.


Good news. Will try. Why 2 am? Thought units are available when people sell. People selling at that weird hours? Better buy many boxes of instant coffee the next time I go shopping.

Normal 8 am to 5 pm no fish or get get some if lucky?

Thanks.

Big fish? Not whale size of course. Ha.

I just tried all 3, but no luck. Guess not on wend.

Thanks.

Thanks. That is a tuna!

Is ASM3 really that bad wrt dividend %?

Or is there something behind the scene with ASM3 which will be rolled out soon and perceived as negative?

My simple lazy man advice is, spread it among ASMx and EPF. Unless you are very very sure that one will be doing a lot better (say >1%) than the rest. An extra 1% for every rm 1 million will give you an extra rm 10,000 free cash!

In the past, ASMx gave higher % than EPF but now the reverse. Will EPF continue to beat ASMx? No one knows. Warren Buffet or PMX will also have to guess. Ha. But their guesses will be more intelligent.

If ASMx amount is a lot more than EPF (eg 90% vs 10%), maybe then transfer some to EPF to balance the portfolio.

Think it over and decide.

What if there is a global crash, new reserve currency etc in the coming months/year? EPF being more overseas exposed will take a bigger beating. ASMx will suffer too but may be cushioned by our domestic market.

But that is just my layman's mindset.
