We've turn bullish on investment again, have you??? ???

[YouInvest-malaysia]

Hi guys, we had turned bullish beginning of last week on the stock market for 4 reasons:

 1. Increase participation in the stock market (shown by higher trading volume)
 2. Lower oil prices.
 3. US banks reported results better than expected.
 4. Investors thinks that political risk at current market level is all in the price. So, limited downside to political risk (for the mean time).
 5. If the opposition wins over by vote of no confidence during September (slated by Anwar hinself) then i think the market will pop due
    to the promises that he had earlier agree to and personnally i think he has the leadership quality and the charisma to drive growth in 
    the economy.
 6. Bank negara has kept interest rate unchange despite expectation of 0.25% increase by economists and stock market analysts. (surprisingly)

Let me know what you guys think .

I voted NO on the poll of buying unit trust.
Reason: Regardless of market sentiment - whether bullish or bearish, I still would not buy unit trusts

Nothing to do with taikor or sailou ler...
Its better to invest/trade by ownself than to let other handle.
At least win or lose I learn something.

Questions for those "FUNd Mgrs" ?

1) Who get paid first when you guys make money in a bull mkt? You guys / company   or  the trust holders?

2) Do you guys still get pay when you lost money during bear mkt? Does company still charge management fees when trust holders are losing money in the bear mkt?

So set to gain or lose more in the long run?  Be honest to your answers 

"No one handle own money better, other than ownself".

scw you are correct for saying that either a bull or a bear market fund managers will make money, but in a bear market there is more tendency for a lower management fee (bcoz its based on the funds NAV) of course in a bull market they will make more money first ahead of the trust holders (bcoz NAV also increase)

to be fair unit trust is only suitable for some ppl, and i guess it is not for you guys ..cause u all are already savvy investors in the stock market. there are still some ppl that we know who are not comfortable investing in the stock market due to limited knowledge.

Just our 2 sens worth of thought. .
