To teach youngster about investment
I think it should best start with convincing them house is the most rewarding investment in the universe, next will be education and follow by junk paper investment, most of them can easily accumulate 100k in their youth after working for several years, but they had tendency to spend all their wealth on junk that is assumed by someone else as "investment", buy car with cash is the most typical result from youngster, next will be buy phone and another tangible and intangible asset, their investment knowledge is only limited to very small sources, they never believe house is investment, because their friend told them so. Too bad they may end up spending their money on something else more useless when their knowledge is so limited, may be out of 1% of them actually get lucky and treat house as investment? Who know.

Calvin is now most intelligience among the human after writing this

Well their operandi is as usual quote some famous person with impressive wealth, and tell you must follow them, copy and paste their quote, and boom! Profit!

That is why youngster had no idea what is investment
They are delusional about investment
It can't be help since they are too obesed with their fantasy
The only way to help them is teach them with lesson

And for complement, most fundamentalist will also included a list of successful story and chart showing their return from investment "undervalue" paper asset, it is amusing to deal with them, sound like mlm to me.

300% return within four years
It is equal to 30% CAGR for four consecutive year!
Now tell me what is the reason you want to invest in paper asset when you can get high return at almost no risk?
Paper asset has become too expensive to invest!
You need at least 100k to be a starter investor, but you can also use this 100k to buy your first house and get rich like no one else, which idiot in this world will choose the lesser option?

I found commercial building is the highly inflated of all investment
One commercial property bought at 4 years back now can sell for 300% price marked up, I am calling the flipper to be crazy, but what can you do with them? They are riches and they hire professonal to manipulate this property market, and they got all the fundamental to support their reasonable price marked up.

If you follow the trend carefully
The property you bought 8 years back now is rewarding you at least 300%
1 milllion property now is being inflated into 3 milllions worth, it is the problem with quantitative easing, they didn't fix the main problem and thus creating another problem, now they still insisted on issuing more of this failure to fix the market, the more quantitative easing, the more likely the rich will withdraw themself from the market, they like to park their cash on safe heaven asset, the poor who still think fundamental works will never get riches.

Many fundamentalist try to ignore macro econonics views
They are vulnerable to failure
Quantitative easing is the key factor that kill all the fundamental of investment
The riches always can outsmart the poor

The quantitative easing is once introduced to stimulate the market slow down activities, it is first print a lot of money and inject into the market, the injection itself had ruined the market fundamental by destroying it is fair trade principal, it is rigged trades, and the riches find the loophole in this quantitative easing before the poor can realize, they (the riches) can be the first to know when to dispose off their junk investment paper asset at the poor.
What will the riches do with their money after they sold all their stake holding? They can always make another new company and issues more shares, list on the security is very easy to get rich, and the public listing didn't take much effort for the riches, they buy property asset, and flip them like a boss,

When market is heading for crash
Any fundamental views cannot even worth a penny

Any fundamentalist will never tell you anything about market crash,
Because they need to exit it before anyone else.
And they will start to promote their fundamental views while unloading their stakes
Sound like common corporate exercise?
You bet it.
Insider trading is very famous in klse it is proven by sc, it is not my finding.

Only the poor go investing in falling market
Why ask the poor get poorer?

What will the rich do with their money?
Park their money on safe heaven asset like
1. Property
2. Gold
3. Food and drink
4. Necessary item

Every quantitative easing is making more bankruptcy than ever.
The term "easing" only valid to te rich, while the poorer get the taste of the side effect of the easing

The problem with the quantitative easing is

1. Market is always illiquid for big stakeholder to move their cash around
2. When quantitative easing kick in, they finally found their hope to dump large quantities of paper asset at the bank
3. Finally the market throw all their junk into the bank
4. Bank cannot afford to give the loan with negative interest rate
5. Market start to crash, the riches has already moved all their stake into money while the poor getting trapped into the market

May be their commitment is high?
They want to sponsor hundreds of student to enjoy honey moon

Some people need to earn money very urgently
They want to earn until the last day (month) before the market finally fall

Dead cat bound

Market is about to crash when more quantitative easing and print money couldn't save it, bank will get to taste their own junk strategy, and start to collapse, when the bank start to fall, we would see plenty of junk rate company to be wipe out by the reality.

Why need to learn value investing when the market is always overvalued and only a 1998/2008 can bring them to a fundamentally worth to buy?
Learnt to short this market so the 1998/2008 could repeat itself.
The junk investment is flooding the market now, why not give it a massive cleansing.

You can only be rewarded handsomely if you can predict the crisis correctly or most of the time a waste of effort to invest.

We can have Top glove karex supermx Kossan Hartalega to compete but their dividend yield is pathetic as well, if you bought it since subprime crisis it will reward you handsomely

How many penny stock can actually outperform hapseng?
Basically none of them can do it even if you included MyEG or ifca and any high speculating penny stock cannot come close to it.

Of course it is not easy to buy house when you are poor
But what I see now more and more youngster are readily to afford their first house once they finish their school
Buying house is like shopping for them it is simply affordable.

Any house can outperform the best performing stock in Klse, investing is no brainer decision

The return of the equity market is too low, it doesn't worth the effort to do it, of course high dividend yield is another story but how many pick actually can give better dividend compare to house? One of the best performing is hapseng if you bought it since last subprime crisis, it will also giving a dividend yield of 12% annual, but at the same time the house price already increase multiple times, and it is the best of all penny stock.

And the risk is house is too low compare to diversify in portfolio
Why need to create multiple portfolio and betting one of the portfolio actually perform well?
You don't need to pick so many house just to make over 1000% return

Too bad the house return is far exceeding klse performance
Klse perform 100-200% over the 20 years, but house price increase over 1000%
Can you imagine 50k banglow house compouding to 5-10millions in value?

Fed reduce interest but tighten up loan requirement and they hope the market to react positively
Too bad the fed only can save the market by printing more money.

Epf make a wrong move by selling their stake?

Finally epf successfully dispose of all their remaining stake
Good luck to those who still holding tightly

Markets are gearing up for an expected rate cut from the European Central Bank on Thursday, but stock investors shouldn’t get too excited about the prospects of lower interest rates, according to some analysts.

Looser monetary policy—such as rate reductions—usually spark a rally in the stock markets, but when it means yanking the deposit rate further into negative territory, the easing could end up doing the opposite, according to J.P. Morgan Chase JPM, +0.58% analysts.


In a report out earlier this week, the bank outlined how major economies with rates below zero, such as the eurozone, Japan and Switzerland, all have suffered stock-market losses since negative interest-rates policies (NIRP) were introduced. Eurozone equities are down 4.6%, Swiss stocks have lost 9%, while in Japan stocks have dropped 6.7%, as laid out in the chart below, published on Monday.



“NIRP has been counterproductive for equities so far where it was put in place, in Japan, the eurozone, Sweden, and Switzerland. We are a bit concerned about how NIRP is negatively impacting the banks and we think the banks should rather be helped to lead to better economic growth going forward,” said Emmanuel Cau, equity strategist at J.P. Morgan.

“It’s hard to see the eurozone economy growing materially, if banks do not lend more,” he added.

Lower interest rates are aimed at boosting a flagging economy by making lending cheaper and encouraging investing and fueling purchases. The ECB deposit rate currently sits at minus 0.3%, but is expected to be cut to minus 0.4% on Thursday in an effort to lift inflation, which currently stands at negative 0.2%. That is far below the ECB’s target of near, but just below 2%.

Several economists have spoken out against the use of negative interest rates, arguing it hurts bank’s profitability and effectively works as a tax on the financial system. With the banks in poor shape, there are fears NIRP could derail the economic recovery and continue to keep a lid on inflation and growth.

These concerns have weighed hard on the banking sector. In Europe, the Stoxx Europe 600 banks index FX7, +0.54% is down 16% year-to-date, compared with a 7.2% loss for the broader Stoxx Europe 600 SXXP, +0.62% This is less an issue in Denmark, where negative rates also are in play, because banks aren't as heavily weighted in its main benchmark OMXC20, +0.23%

“Banks constrained by negative rates may seek to recoup some of their lost profit by increasing rates on new loans and thus tighten financial conditions, which major central banks would likely view as a counterproductive response to their easing,” analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch BAC, +0.61% said in a note.

So what is the ECB to do at its meeting this Thursday? J.P. Morgan’s Cau said another cut to the deposit rate is unlikely to help sentiment. He said Draghi & Co. instead should instead come up with a way to fight low inflation without hobbling the banking sector’s profitability. This could happen through another round of cheap, long-term loans and a tiered-deposit system where some of the excess liquidity from banks would be placed at the ECB at a rate above the deposit rate.

“I think the markets are becoming more and more skeptical about the endgame. Will these policies be successful, or are they just a reflection of policy makers being desperate to find the right tools to combat low inflation?,” Cau said.

“The endgame is whether inflation expectations will go up, if the ECB succeeds, in boosting inflation expectations, whichever tool they use, that will be a very good development for the market,” he added.

Another latitude tree in disguise

KUALA LUMPUR: The Securities Commission devoted a significant proportion of its investigative resources last year to working on cases concerning possible insider trading.

Of the 58 active investigations as of Dec 31, 2015, 43 were related to insider trading offences, the SC said in its 2015 Annual Report released here today.

The SC charged a total of 17 individuals in the Sessions Court last year, with 16 of them facing charges of committing insider trading, and one for furnishing a false statement to Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd.

It also said that in 2015, eight individuals were sentenced to imprisonment terms for various breaches of the securities laws.

These included sentences meted out following trials at the Sessions Court as well as by the High Court and Court of Appeal.

Meanwhile, a total of 22 referrals were received in 2015 on possible violations of securities laws.

Corporate governance transgressions formed the majority of referrals during the year at 41 per cent.

These cases were mainly in relation to acts by directors of Public Listed Companies (PLCs) which may have been done with the intention of causing wrongful loss to listed companies.

This, according to the SC, breaks away from the trend of previous years where the majority of referrals comprised mainly insider trading offences.

During the year, formal witness statements were recorded from 382 individuals to assist in gathering information for ongoing investigations.

Almost 80 per cent of them were professionals who were corporate advisors, accountants, lawyers, companies secretaries, persons licensed by the SC, securities account holders and directors and senior management of PLCs.

The SC also exercised its investigation powers to search 15 business premises in 2015 to gather relevant information and documents.

Given the increase in cross-border financial transactions, international co-operation continues to be critical in ensuring the success and effectiveness of its enforcement efforts, said the SC.

Last year, it made 22 requests for investigation assistance from securities regulators in seven countries, and received 10 requests from six jurisdictions for investigation assistance.

On administrative action, a total 41 was taken by the SC for various misconduct and breaches of securities laws last year.

During the year, RM1.04 million in penalties was imposed against various parties.

The SC also had 53 ongoing cases in the Sessions Court, High Court, Court of Appeal and Federal Court last year.

Of these cases, 28 per cent were related to corporate governance breaches such as financial misstatements and disclosure offences, and another 30 per to insider trading.

The rest concerned securities fraud, market manipulation, unlicensed activities and questions of law. -- Bernama
