….If you’re epf, you can read Martingale in web. Martingale trading !

Play like a pro.
If a plc has a long deep drawdown (ie how deep losses are recouped “over a dead valley” by how long time ), golden rule is that the plc is most likely not investable unless your investment objective ( & you have a very deep pocket ) is that you have a board seat in it for a very different reason. Usually for this kind of plc, the controlling / significant shareholders’ interest may not align with small shareholders (ie retailers ).

A Good company which is investable has a shallow drawdown for a short period even in difficult markets ( ie PBB, HLB, BAT, KL Kepong, Petronas Chem etc ) .

A “good” company which is not investable has a long deep drawdown > 20% for a long long period. If you have invested in such a company, it makes your life ( family life ) miserable.

A loss is a loss even paper loss. Think of you can get out at anytime as you like, at worst with a very minimal loss.

They are investable plc out there. Protection of capital always comes first.

Don’t let epf cloud your clear mind. Epf is a very different kettle of fish. None of us here can be epf.

Omg, is it an investable company, to start with ?

A good company does not mean it’s investable.

What’s investable ? Certainly it’s not an opaque company that has a history of deep long drawdown of 30% to 50 % over 2 years until today. Certainly, not for those with a shallow pocket.
