Good article. My investment time frame is 30 years. Buy good fundamental company with DY 5% above means I already get back my investment fund within 20 years. Why should feel worry a market crash? I hope market crash so I can buy cheaper again!!

Yes, investors invest in quality stocks that have good long term prospects. It's the job of the traders and speculators to time and outsmart mart. Investors stay invested through all the up and down swings/cycles, because they believe it's not only futile but also foolhardy that its humanly possible to correctly and consistently outmaneuver share price movements and especially mkt trends.
Thus investing isn't for those who cannot stomach a few years of bearish sentiments.

Over the long term, KLCi always set new highs, that's why it's easier to make money through long term investing rather than timing or trading it!
