In times of uncertainty, thank God for the good people over at EPF.
Anyone who wants to do more savings should just contribute more to EPF.......
I also cannot unit trust salesmen who over promise and under deliver when they keep pestering youngsters for their business.....with smooth exponential curves.

business tycoons and business men have different risk tolerance ( from the non businessmen, the professors etc etc....)....it is such as obvious statement that they play by a different rule book...what is your objection?

KYY is a business, tycoon. Businessmen and tycoons play by a different rule book.
That is KYY business......he already says he likes to top up whenever his margin account gives him room....looking at the performance of his shares....and they are public knowledge to i3...... I don't understand why it is surprising.
...that brings us to the second point you raised, chong....
why you object to that truism?

measuring portfolio performance.............it is such a giant topic, the CFA Institute even got a Diploma just for that. You don't want to go there.
its called the CIPM® Program

I started this conversation by saying if I didn't know better, I would have thought you are a unit trust salesman.....what is wrong with that statement.?
You know...in Malaysia, selling unit trust can be a lucrative business for some and they always do it the way you do.......by showing people a smooth exponential curve.
Anyone who has experience with the share market also know it is any thing but a smooth exponential curve....it is just a cliche. A popular cliche doesn't make it right.
Why can't I discuss this subject without being insulted?
You think you have monopoly rights to post here or what?
The other point I raised was......share market is a business, it is not a savings.....a savings account is savings. A savings account you can compound....like someone noted, share market and interest they live in different worlds.
Share market is investments....it is different from savings.
Investments is a business. It is something you do with your spare cash but also full of uncertainties and risks....no smooth exponential curve.
I think you get the point. It's like teaching grand mother sucks eggs.....I was making a joke about share market and compounding before I was rudely insulted.
Last question about measuring performance of mutual funds....that would be a gigantic topic ....sure you want to go there?

In the mid term review, I told the psychology lecturer it's a pity so few taking. A Levels psychology
It's a great course, great syllabus and great lecturer.....and can help in the mental health of teenagers.
It's a pity the Malaysia public and Malaysia parents and students only think of scoring A and think it is difficult to score A in psychology., so they avoid it.
Studying A level psychology doesn't mean will become psychologist in future. It is just part of education for that age group.
Today , my daughter is a first year business student in Monash U , KL...if you ask her, you will tell you she is very glad she studied Psychology for A levels.

All these Internet sifus like Icon and Chong....granted they read a few popular books on investments and have some thing to contribute.
But from there to insult me is another thing.
Talk about stock market and compounding.....got only hazy ideas about beta, alpha and the many many measurements about risks and returns per risk, no idea.
How people measure performance of funds? No idea.

Not to say all these sifus don't serve a function in society. They all do. In America, on a per capita basis, America got even more sifus, Consultants, advisers, and salesmen and what not.
I got angry only because they started to insult me first instead of addressing the points I raised.
If you read through this thread again, you will notice I started politely...only pointing out the reality of life instead of just some cliques like compounding..
I have things to add to the discussion , if you don't agree, that is your problem....
But from there to insult by saying I am not Accountant or what not is just unacceptable behavior. Or Poh lan pa....it is just unacceptable behavior.

The only thing you know how to do in a debate is insulting.
Address the points I raise. Forget about me.
You know why Index Funds are so popular? They are popular because it is only when it is sufficiently diversified that people can start to talk about compounding.

let me give you an example. Lets say 30 years compounding.
The end result after 30 years is heavily dependent upon the performance of the first few years. The first few years you go negative, you can forget about the other 30 years.

Compounding is a lie unless you are talking about fixed income....low rates of fixed income like AAA bonds.
When people talk about compounding and use Warren Bufett as example, it is also a LIE....It is some thing no one can do, only other people can do ....it is just a guilt thing making everyone feel guilty.
Warren Bufett is a statistical outlier, a one in a million and probably not repeatable. Some other people can repeat that kind of performance but most likely not WB. If you ask WB to be young again see if he can repeat it? I bet he cannot repeat it.
The only way to have compounding from equities is to be large like EPF, invest across all continents, across all asset classes and stay invested at all times

There is no compounding unless it is globally diversified, diversified across all asset classes and stay invested at all times and a target return of say 5% pa......then we can talk about compounding.
