Good for you.
My original suggestion of stablecoins staking is not for investment, but rather for the purpose of emergency 6 months cash that can be withdrawn and used immediately, yet still enjoy relatively high APY.

Can you show me some articles on the danger of staking, just to see if I've missed anything.

Well good for you. Not forcing anyone here but am just offering an alternative to those who are keen to explore further.
Just to reiterate once more, this staking is not an investment advice (short/medium/long), but a suggestion on alternative to earn yield from "emergency funds" that you're allocating for 6 months and more.

Thanks for the sharing the video!

Also, that's a really bold claim, I personally expects 5-10% overall returns at good scenarios, so if you told me a stock or ETF would return 20% or even more, the first thing I do would be walk away from it out of my personal warnings - would you mind sharing? I'm curious now.

It can be lose big time too so it is always two sides. I see so many investors in other forum complain about their losses on China stocks listed in US stock exchanges. The interest in accessing China A shares and HKEX gaining traction there.

Bogleheads? Has quite strict definition and a lot of investment would be out including mutual fund. Even sector theme ETF are out as they are pursuing low cost index tracking funds and only a few will do. I cannot. How can I eat economy rice with same 3 dishes every day for years? I like noodles actually, rice is just to fill stomach.

What I can tell you is, as of today, there is no VXUS equivalent on Irish-domiciled funds. So your choice do quickly become limited when you want to have multiple tickers in your portfolio but avoid overlapping.

The chart is from ETF Research Center https://www.etfrc.com/funds/overlap.php
But US tickers only, you'll have to use similar US funds to simulate your numbers.

It will quickly devolve into a mess when you start having SP500 ETFs, some random SG REITs, a gold ETF from Australia, a handful of VWRA, a pinch of KWEB and TPE... so, be careful, be mindful.

I strongly recommend having an investment policy, limit yourself to only change it every 6 month or ideally 1 year. If it's something you can't hold for 5 years, don't buy it.

Write down what you buy and why, if you can't justify it today, you can't hold it - and when it turns out to be an eye sore a few months down the line - you can refer to it again: "Did the fundamental reason I bought this ticker change? Or am I selling it purely out of spur of emotions?".

Ugh... thats true. BNM wouldn't allow it and it puts all Malaysian at an disadvantage compared to our neighboring countries.

Yeah I know.

All Ze best bruh. 👀😬

EPF main mandate that any withdrawal for investment its has to be locally invest not abroad otherwise it cannot fund more MGS purchase

hi any IBKR user can answr me?

i bought 1 share of VWRA, but the commission there stated 4.00

my order match 112.50, but cost is 116.00

anyone can enlighten me?

Out of curiosity, what would be your ideal portfolio?
How many stocks is too concentrated, how many stocks is considered diversified?
How much China sector do you allocate in your portfolio?
I assume you fully manage your portfolio, where do you buy and hold your holdings?

1. Geopolitics dictates the long term economy and then the asset price. Example of that is the effect of Plaza Accord. Moving forward this world is very likely to have 2 super powers hence we need to have higher weightage and participate more in these 2 super powers economy. This is long term trend. You can check on Ray Dalio's analysis. According to him, the rise of the successful investors like Buffet and Bill Gross during 70-90 is due to the fed's rate policy and the economy opportunities. They ride on the right waves. Now if China's path of growth follows the US, this waves might be in place already. I know there are a lot of narrative on china assets' investible but I think if you are not looking to grow at the expense of their interest there are still opportunities. Being in a third world country citizen, I have the opportunity to stay neutral and make gains from both sides.

Avoid China tech for a while. All latest China fund factsheet I have shown fund managers all have shifted to Industrials, Consumer Cyclicals as top sector and tech is relegated to maybe 4th or 5th position. This mean fund manager are also actively avoiding the China tech sector. In times of crisis we witness fund managers doing the hard work.

For index tracking ETF too bad hard for them to avoid if all stocks in the index all perform badly UNLESS can remove those non-performing stocks from the index so the ETF no need to buy those stocks ?

Sometimes it is wise to diversify investment instruments. ETF mutual fund individual stock etc. For China ETF I think HKEX quite a lot but if you use IBKR the fees not that cheap. IBKR mainly for US trading. Tiger moomoo also not cheap basically HKEX China A shares yet to find cheap 35 cents fee.

I am eyeing HKEX Global X Electric Vehicle ETF although in SGX NikkoAM also launch one equivalent to compete. EV not tech correct?

Just another just in case scenario,... What if you did not die but just incapacitated,... Unable to communicates.... Does Yr family members has access to Yr password so as the liquidate some investment money for you to use?

Cuuently my spouse has my bank access password n the token unit (for TAC).

EDITED.

Think I figured it out.
thanks

Just a reminder that big, safe blue chips can pop too.

Buy the haystack, don't take uncompensated risks 👍

In the same boat as u are brother.

Hahah. How long you think the recover gonna take?

The other way also possible Ukraine lost the war and be conquered and war stops. To us as long as war stops don't care which party win so world market can get back to normalcy.
