The world's most renowned investor Warren Buffett had in his recent article titled
'Buy American. I Am" published on 16 October 2008 in the New York Times, quoted
the following in explaining why he began to invest heavily in stocks
I can't predict the short-term moyements of the stock market. I haven't the
faintest idea as to whether stoclcs will be higher or lower in a month or a year from now.
Wat is likely, however, is that the market will move higher, perhaps
substantially so, well before either sentiment or the economy turns up. So if you,
wait for the robins, spring will be over. "

what is DCA?
QUESTION: Ahmad wants to know where the best place is to invest for a first-time investor. He asks Irwan what dollar cost averaging is.?
ANSWER: If you put in RM100 every month or RM 1,000 every month into your mutual fund, sometimes you’re going to be buying more shares because the mutual fund is cheaper. Other times, you’re going to be buying fewer shares because it’s more expensive. You like it going down because you are buying more shares, and you like it going up because the shares are worth more. That’s called dollar cost averaging.
Oppurtunity in crisis?
Here's The articles from Capital Dynamics Asset Management on " OPPORTUNITIES IN CRISIS " for your kind attention.
5 types of investor sentiment cycles
* Expansion : Bull Market go up with higher stock market volume and higher price. Investors and speculator start buying more, even in high price.
* Settlement : Period of Profit taking activities depending on market sentiment. Speculator start to sell for profit.
* Contraction : Speculator sell whatever is valuable. Stocks with most liquidity get dumped first. And they don't care about fundamentals - all they care about is meeting the margin calls or redemptions, so they can survive to do the same tomorrow. This situation will eventually end when market volume decrease. The Bear negative sign begin.
* Crisis : When stocks go down hard (recently)- like 2,000 points in seven trading days - it's enough to make even the most hardened investors scream. The gut reaction is survival and preservation of wealth. In short, it's not just selling... it's forced selling. Everything rational becomes irrational. It's pure panic - and the main solution is to "Sell it all - and SELL IT NOW! Even it is a good company. After that, the beginning of mixed feeling in stock market begin to show sign of rebounce.
* Recovery : The bottom line is that this panic will pass. The market start to recover when investors and speculators go for bargain price to start the cycle again. Confident increases and stock market volume start to increase too. The Bull positive sign begin.
PUBLIC MUTUAL OVERSEAS EXPOSURES
recently my friend wrote a latter to Public Mutual and thanks god he got reply.!
Question to Public Mutual:
In view of the recent financial storm which hits the world markets, my investors are very very concerned with their investments in Public Mutual
These are among the common question which have been lingering on their mind:
1) is public bank group or public mutual have any exposure to us/European financial/investment markets thru partnership/strategic alliance or shareholding. ?
2) what are the strategies fund managers undertake/implement to combat the crisis. ?
there's an urgent need to explain to investors that their money is safe in the hands of fund management ,then they will remain cautious and wary of investing their money in Public Mutual I would propose that Public Mutual gives a press release to restore the confidence of our investors. Please treat the above with urgency and a concrete reply is much appreciated
and the reply:
Public Mutual’s unit trust funds do not have any direct or indirect investment in the U.S. sub-prime related mortgages and credit default swaps. However, Public Mutual has several global equity funds (i.e. Public Global Select Fund, Public Global Balanced Fund and PB Euro Pacific Equity Fund) which invest in collective investment schemes or unit trust funds managed by foreign fund managers. These funds invest in selected stocks listed in U.S. and European markets.
The performance of our equity funds has been adversely affected by the decline in global and regional equity markets on concerns over slower U.S. economic growth, tight credit conditions and the U.S. sub-prime crisis. More recently, regional markets have hit multiyear lows due to the adverse impact of the U.S. sub-prime crisis on global financial institutions On 3 rd October 2008, the U.S. Congress approved the revised US$700 billion rescue plan to buy troubled mortgage-related assets from distressed financial institutions.
However there are concerns that it will take time to restore liquidity in the U.S. credit market with economic activities slowing further in 1H2009 before recovering towards the end of 2009 To ease the economic effects of the deepening global financial crisis, the U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, Bank of England, Bank of Canada, Swiss National Bank and Sweden’s Riksbank jointly reduced interest rates by 50 basis points on 8 October 2008. Monetary easing policies combined with more measures to recapitalize troubled financial institutions are expected to take time to restore confidence in credit markets and mitigate the downside risks to global economic activities
In the near term, regional and domestic equity markets are expected to remain volatile as investors will continue to monitor developments in the global financial system and the outlook for global economic growth.Following the retracement in regional and domestic markets in recent months, market valuations are now below or near their historical averages. Looking ahead into 2009,the downside risks for selected regional and domestic markets are mitigated by below trend valuations, easing inflationary pressures, sustained economic growth and low real interest rates.
Given the above factors, investors are advised to continue to take a medium to long term investment view of at least three years when investing in equity unit trusts. It is especially during periods of market volatility that investors should remain focused on their long-term investment goals and keep their emotions from influencing their investment decisions. On the fund management side, the fund managers are constantly monitoring the portfolios and rebalancing the funds in line with the respective funds’ investment objective
What is Good Risk and Bad Risk?
What is Good Risk and Bad Risk?
For example, a house you own is Good Risk as long as there are tenants to pay the mortgages.
If tenants stop paying their rent, the good risk turn into Bad Risk.
It is good risk to earn more from investment . . .
than no risk to face inflation.
What is calculated Risk ?
Calculated risk is like riding a roller-coaster and knowing in the end of the day,
you will reach the destination safe by follow rules.
Investment is the same. You need to go through the bear and the bull market and knowing you will
gain in mid to long terms rules.

Finally, some of the hard work I've been doing here with Google Adsense is turning into real tangible Money! As I have received my first Adsense Check from Google lately, opening a port on Google for later checks hopefully.
Even if the amount of money is not huge, but it really feels different to receive some Cash from a titanic company as Google! I wanted to receive my first check with the least money required and the soonest possible so I would see and feel those bucks my self, but for later Adsense Checks I'll be holding my payments till I make a respected amount of money hopefully in the near future!
Public Mutual Funds still no 1 in Asia
In long term, our Public Mutual Funds still move North-East despite facing all the crisis. Check the blue arrow.
Your browser may not support display of this image.
Our Public Mutual Funds had gone through the 3 crisis.
1) The World Depression in 1991,
2) The Asia Financial crisis in 1998 ,
3) The Terrorist 9/11 attack in 2001. And Now
4) The Global economy crisis in 2008. What happen to our funds then ?
One way or another, in time ,the solution is there, after pushing the right button. The crisis come to recovery. Our 20 over years fund ,Public Saving Fund (since 1981) still achieve 554.26% and Public Growth Fund (since 1984) 459.26% gain if hold until today from 1988, and bank F/D achieve only 225.98%. This is a big difference.
investors who are panic, emotional on their investment in Public Mutual!
For those investors who are jittery and wish to switch their investments to Bond or Money market fund for time being and later switch back to Equity,it is not a good strategy to adopt. This method is called TIMING. They would hesitate and do not know when is the right time to switch back to equity.
Most of them will miss out the recovery period and would wait till the market stabilise then only decided to switch back to equity. No one can time the market. Advise them to stay calm and hold on to their investment, give time for new investments to grow and matured.
Market sudden change
Dear investors and friends
As for Malaysia, we Malaysian know about the political issue. The oversea investors withdraw their billions investment because they believe a country cannot have two head, namely Datuk Abdullah Badawi and Datuk Anwar Ibrahim.To them ,two heads means country undecided and uncertainty.They are planing to come back again for the bargain price is too tempting and of course when Malaysia have decided with one head.Be prepared to take whatever turbulence. Stay calm, Be discipline and patient with investments.
At this moment, all our P.Mutual fund prices are at bargain hunting level. If we sit still and do not do anything to average down and accumulate more units, we will lose out this great opportunity once market recovers. Opportunity does not happen always.
Always advise your customers to stay invested and keep investing at regular intervals. If they started to get panic, emotional and cut-loss at this moment, is permanent losses to them, BUT if they hold on to their investments, do averaging, there are still chances and opportunities to make good profits in the near future. Markets moves in cycles, like 4 seasons of the weather, WINTER, SUMMER, SPRING & AUTUMN.
