PETALING JAYA: Investors should accumulate stocks, despite the plunge in the market.
“Whenever the sentiment is all doom and gloom, it usually signifies the bottom of the market or close to the bottom,” Trident Analytics chief research officer Peter Lim Tze Cheng told StarBiz, adding that it was the best time to find stocks with good company fundamentals and collect them.
He said the strategy for investors should be to “collect” stocks.
Commenting on sectors to invest in, he believes such sectors include those which are in the recovery game, namely, financial, building materials, industrial products and consumer sectors.
Despite opening higher at the start of the opening bell, the FBM KLCI succumbed to profit-taking activities yesterday as the key index lingered mostly in negative territory.
At 5pm yesterday, the 30-stock index plunged 26.78 points, or 1.84% to 1,431.10.
The index opened 3.25 points higher at 1,461.13 yesterday.
Market breadth turned negative as losers overpowered the gainers on a ratio of 640-to-255 stocks.
Traded volumes rose to 2.72 billion shares, valued at RM1.9bil as profit-taking activities took control. Along with investors’ profit-taking, dealers said investors were also concerned about the the risk of recession arising from global inflation.
Mercury Securities expects global equities to remain volatile in the short term amid fears of persistently high inflation forcing central banks across the world to raise rates at a more rapid pace.

Forget it! Markets unstable! Politics not stable! Nothing to look forward to! Better invest in Vietnam or Indonesia!

Agree with Tobby. Talk is easy, we invest with real money. The worst is yet to come for US. Wait and see first.

Recession is knocking the door. Need to figure out the next sector going to be the star performer in coming months.

Construction sector is always the first one to move if there is a genuine recovery in the macro economy. It will then be followed by banking sector. After that, the whole market will start to move in tandem. Based on my experiences. Keyword here is genuine.

gohkimhock. Construction is already half dead after suffering high construction material price for the last 2 years. It's a potential recovery sector while materials prices crashing. Can construction sector perform well during recession period?

ahbah. Any crash of commodity prices would be directly benefited to the companies with the strong bargaining power in lagging passing the costs benefits to their customers.

Calvin. 1997/98 was a financial crisis unless it would happen again. KLSE slumped to below 300 points at that time.

Utilities, Hospital, 5 star REIT and consumer staples are the common sectors to counter recession. Hope the hot money won't skip it. Haha

Many consumer goods are included palm oil as its ingredient. The demand of palm is supposed relatively stable over times by referring to the theory supply and demand. Take a few minutes and ponder when the prices of palm oil surging to the crazy level in a short period of time.

Is it a really serious shortage of crude oil in the market whilst India and China are still imported from Russia? China lockdown doesn’t have impact to the crude oil usage? Or it is merely big oil companies, traders and speculators take advantage of the war situation stirring up the ‘shortage’?

If China is unable to maintain the world manufacturers in the future, they would consider planting palm oil locally for domestic consumption.

History tells us that only equities able to beat inflation in long term. I am talking about value investing and dividend investing. Not those pump and dump counters promoted by fake gurus here with all sorts of fairy tale projections and kindergarten calculations which could not be achieved in reality..
