People then turn to equities - I am talking about equities with decent dividends. The market is so volatile right now that people are worried about getting in but I believe the daring ones would be the ones laughing all the way to the bank when the market recovers. The question is when? I was told to be ready to get in in December. Your guess is as good as mine, eh?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing that question. We can all learn together.HappySurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444290549991093661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-19788308500561642452008-10-30T11:23:00.000+08:002008-10-30T11:23:00.000+08:00Hi there, 4 a better w0r1d - thanks for that remin...Hi there, <STRONG>4 a better w0r1d</STRONG> - thanks for that reminder. Yeah, that's a good one because most of us let emotions drive our investment decisions much of the time. And we generally end up being greedy when everybody else gets greedy and fearful when there is panic all around. <BR/><BR/>There is something in our local context too. It's often said that if the tea-ladies are getting into the market and when you hear even the common folks on the street talking about the share market, it is time to get out.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for stopping by.HappySurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444290549991093661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-76399450307731045242008-10-29T22:31:00.000+08:002008-10-29T22:31:00.000+08:00it's not working by investing in Malaysian stock m...it's not working by investing in Malaysian stock market? correct me if i'm wrong.KKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01373328359224331104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-7557177959437335582008-10-29T21:09:00.000+08:002008-10-29T21:09:00.000+08:00Hi,,,, " Fear when others greed, greed when others...Hi,,,, " Fear when others greed, greed when others fear" is one of the sentence which i will remember for the rest of my life!pinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18137996106968185439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-59358245833399351352008-10-23T00:36:00.000+08:002008-10-23T00:36:00.000+08:008 months is pretty conservative.

Hopefully it won't get any worse.<BR/><BR/>Warren Buffett is advocating not keeping cash right now but stocks because cash decreases in value over time due to inflation.HappySurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444290549991093661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-63262503132995831512008-10-23T00:01:00.000+08:002008-10-23T00:01:00.000+08:00they say recession only lasts 8 months. well, if t...they say recession only lasts 8 months. well, if that is so, he'll be rich back soon. actually, buying any stock now will make him rich in the future (maybe longer term). <BR/><BR/>but for msia and other asian countries, i think the storm is coming (spore already facing it). so maybe he's right, buy usa now, and maybe a few months later asia.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08147376627075497777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-18919115485435632622008-10-21T12:25:00.000+08:002008-10-21T12:25:00.000+08:00MBL, life really boils down to that, doesn't it? ...MBL, life really boils down to that, doesn't it?

The same goes for ratings of which there are various sources. <BR/><BR/>Bottomline is, no one can predict the future, so dabbling in equities, etc., is a gamble. Unless of course, one has the patience (and funds) to hold on to them over an extended period like Warren Buffett.HappySurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444290549991093661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-34571578703217919472008-10-21T12:07:00.000+08:002008-10-21T12:07:00.000+08:00Foong, I believe Buffett is more daring or perhaps...Foong, I believe Buffett is more daring or perhaps he has more information to back his claim. The sentiment here is less aggressive and to exercise caution. Fund consultants I know are advising against going in right now. However, some of my friends have gone in and I believe are already making some profit.HappySurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444290549991093661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-17506435052118881112008-10-21T09:32:00.000+08:002008-10-21T09:32:00.000+08:00Nothing's really reliable these days...everything'...Nothing's really reliable these days...everything's uncertain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-6204757534835321952008-10-21T08:39:00.000+08:002008-10-21T08:39:00.000+08:00Buffet studies company annual reports.
