In near future, US market won't crash because USD going to strengthen further against most currencies. This effectively suck all hot money back to US.

Just pay a little bit attention to MGS, Malaysian Foreign Reserve and out flow of foreign funds from Bursa KL, you will notice all turn against Malaysia's favor.

USD strengthen day by day. Those who borrow in USD will be the first one to face 97/98 fiasco. Sooner or later Bank Negara will have to respond. How ? Just go back to chapters in history to safeguard yourself and to protect your hard earn wealth.

What if one had been fully invested in stocks like Tenaga, Telekom, Nestle, F&N, Public Bank, Maybank, MIS C and yes must include a lemon like MAS - since 1993? Even after going thru 4 mart crash in 1994, 97, 2000 & 08...Could anyone possibly time, forecast and outsmart all those ups & downs correctly & accurately? Still believe you can time your entry & exit to perfection?!
Almost all the ultra successful investors had said it's not only futile to time marts, but also foolish!!! Most of 'em advises/advocates the at least fully invested at all time method/strategy.
