yeap absolutely speculative
but got ure point there
senario one; recover by 2010, thing going to change here
senario two; have u ever look at us or uk economy know, it is look like it going to recover in this years, bad bad bad.

i think it safe to stay in super blue chip with dividend,
dont get me wrong i still have 30,000 share with 3182, g13 i still have 120,000 share. that because i bought at high earlier so accidentally became long term investor...

panasonic;
g13; quote for genting international.

mikenji; cash is king.
i dont agree, as malaysia sinking into next 2 quarter knowing export going to reduce automatically share will sinking deep.
at present klse still too high, i bet it will be around 650-700 point by next 2 quarter.
i am eyeing at rukn.vx (swiss re ) and tsco.L(tesco)

sorry i havent answer the article,
ringgit going to devalue very soon, due to poor export,
malaysia very much depend on foreign export(palm oil espoecially)
so i bet ringgit going to drop.
now euro,pound look cheap definately best time to enter london stock exchange and european stock exchange.
us dollar or HKSE can say good bye for now due strong dollar vs ringgit

according to prof damodaran study malaysia average dividend paid our 5%
and china 3% and in us australia is 15-20% so name me one reason why want to invest in malaysia for dividend.

EG; LINE ENERGY = i bought at 12usd with dividend near 20%
british petroleum =dividend near 8% with entry price 38usd.

that why hsbc international direct share investment are not accountable for malaysian, singaporean to open their account. this limit malaysian share trading experience and most likely excuse from political reason " is we are not ready".
our region only brunei
try google search; "hsbc offshore direct share dealing account"...........

Added on August 22, 2009, 9:59 pmgenerally high dividend share arent too good for small company like uchitec, yilai or acostec, they still have plenty room to growth, buy just because they high dividend, where the company could expand one.
must look into bookvalue, growing eps, and good financial statement.
like BP are mature company with no more room to growth, that is reasonable. same with LINE

Recessions are a tough business. No matter what our instincts or advisors may tell us, chances are that our investments will suffer during a recession, whether we're too late in getting out of them, or too late to get back in. Below we expose some of the prevailing myths about recession investing, which carry one common theme among them: recessions are quite deft at rewriting old rules and breaking old patterns.

Myth No.1 - I need to be in the safest stocks to make any money.
More from Investopedia.com:

This myth is only true before the recession takes hold. Safer, defensive stocks will tend to decline less than more cyclical names like financials, basic materials and retail stocks. But once the recession is in, the "safe" stocks may actually underperform because as soon as the market begins to rally forward again, it will be the most beaten down names that rise the fastest. So while that steady grocery store stock you held all the way through the recession may go up 10%, the beaten down bank stock may run 50% during a rebound.

So remember, once the recession is in, the most important decision is whether or not to be in the market at all (asset allocation). Once that choice is made, it's generally best to stay the course by participating in the broad market.

Myth No.2 - Bonds are the safest place to be.
This is not necessarily true. Bond prices move in the opposite direction of yields, so if you hold individual bonds and the rate of inflation rises dramatically (which can occur coming out of a recession), the price of your individual bond may drop 10% or more, but you only get the same amount of income as you did in the prior year.

The solution? Consider a mutual fund or ETF that holds hundreds of individual issues to smooth this out. Also, avoid longer-maturity bonds, which tend to be more volatile when interest rates move higher.

Myth No.3 - When the stock market rises, the recession is over.
The stock market always tries to be a forward-looking mechanism. It will try to anticipate the end of a recession long before it can be confirmed through economic data such as GDP. Sometimes the market gets it right, but sometimes it doesn’t, meaning that the stock market could initially rally only to falter again as the recession proves more stubborn and lengthy than first imagined.

Myth No.4 - Decoupling has made some countries safer investments during a recession.
Decoupling implies that growing economies in places like Asia and South America have developed to the point where they can continue to thrive even if the Western economies suffer a recession. This theme was proven false during our current recession, as nearly every market on the globe suffered equally.

While the developing economies may indeed be able to grow modestly while the U.S. and Europe suffer more, these developing nations need strong trading partners and the ability to export their goods to the western world.

Myth No.5 - Real estate is a safe place to be during a recession
It's barely worth mentioning how false this myth was proven during our current recession. A common symptom of economic malaise is deflation, whereby the prices of goods fall because there is too much supply and not enough core demand to support current prices. Real estate is no different; it's just another asset that can suffer from boom and bust cycles.

In our current crisis real estate happened to be the trigger of the recession, as years of heavy home building activity screeched to a halt and inventories rose dramatically, leading to prices falling 30% or more.

Myth No.6 - Dividend stocks don't fall as much during a recession
A company that pays a healthy dividend can only do so when they have enough net income to spare some of it. In healthy economic times, a company may only have to pay out 20-30% of its net income as a dividend - a healthy cushion of preservation. But when a recession hits, company net income may fall by 50% or more, putting that dividend payment in jeopardy.

Because of this, dividend stocks may have two sources of downward pressure on their stock prices during a recession. The first is the prospect of lower profits, and the second is the fear amongst investors that the dividend may be cut or eliminated, removing one of the stock's main attractors.

The Bottom Line
Investing during a recession is a humbling experience. Many well-respected money managers had the worst year of their careers in 2008, proof that even those most familiar with the markets can be caught completely off guard.

The best advice one can give during a recession is to take the time to revisit your long-term goals, and adjust your overall asset allocation to protect current assets. Be willing to accept flat to small returns for a year or two if you already have a nest egg built up and are nearing major life goals.

For younger investors, continue to dollar-cost average into your diversified investments, and be thankful that you can buy up some assets that were once expensive at a cheaper price. In time, the market should reward your patient, diligent approach.
