letitgo you are a joke. Type so much but make very little sense. Do you ever ponder how small the Malaysian market is with only <30mil population?
If companies only sell their goods in the local market, that is such a limiting factor in terms of demand. Companies that are able to export are able to compete on a global scale against producers from all around the world.
If a country only produces goods that are exclusively consumed by its own population, money is just being recycled. A few individuals may be getting wealthier but not the country as a whole as there would be no inflows of funds.
Anyway lets see how stupid your points are:
1) Which company is not affected by electricity tariff hike? 2) and 3) China and US are the biggest consumers in the world, even if they grow by 1%, due to the enormous base, the absolute amount is enough to absorb much of the world's production. 4) Looks like you have been sleeping all this while. The Ringgit has been very volatile and if you assume it will continue one a one way path in strengthening you are kidding yourself. Year-to-date gain of less than 3% is nothing in such volatile trading. In any case, 4.15 to 4.00 is still very attractive for exporters. 5) Again which sector is not affected by minimum wage increase? One that employs all local labour? How cost effective is that? 6) a) Would you dare to bet on an oil recovery? If so, you can buy Perisai or Hibiscus now. b) What if Bank Negara reduces interest rates in Malaysia to counter slowing GDP? Thought of that? c) Vietnam wage increase is long overdue and is still cheaper than China or Msian labour. d) There are ones that are extremely undervalued as well. e) The rich will spend in good times and bad.
FOCUS ON INVESTING IN COMPANIES THAT HAVE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE. ONES THAT ARE ABLE TO SOURCE RAW MATERIALS LOCALLY SUCH AS RUBBER AND TIMBER/PLYWOOD. THIS CANNOT BE REPLICATED ELSEWHERE.
wah.... u are anti uncle k. my opinion, export share already quite heat. shorten play ok, long term play sure die. must run faster than uncle k. play with high risk. dollar wont be strong longer. let see.
even export share recently got some drop but still in history high zone. dont forget, a lot of share already split many times. u think price now is the price last time? so short term play and full monitor on the dollar change is the must.
So simple, those think that usd will crash, please go to buy gold or bornoil. And for those who think that usd will rise, please also come to buy bornoil. Haha if u know what i mean
Oil is a consumable, and therefore not easy to "price in" just because the Iran sanction has been widely expected. It is not easy to "price in" because there is a limit how much crude oil can be stored. A better guide to real demand and supply balance is perhaps US crude oil stockpile data. What does it tell us? Stockpile has been increasing and there's may be a looming issue of storing all the excess, WITHOUT Iran dumping it's stockpile on the market. Go figure what happens when Iran's excesses hit the market. Let's put it another way. Your 70% drop in oil price happens while speculators are busy buying up crude to be sold at a later date due to contango pricing. These additional speculative demands are sitting on storage terminals and idle tankers, even BEFORE Iran unleashes it's stockpile.
Walao wei...if RM strengthen further with the crude price maintaining at this level...what will happen to Malaysian exports level??
KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 5): Malaysian exports rose 1.4% to RM68.3 billion in December from a year earlier driven by higher sales of electrical and electronic (E&E) products and timber and timber-based products to major buyers.
However, the annual export growth in December was slower compared with the median forecast of 5% growth polled by Reuters.
In a statement today, the Statistics Department said exports in oil and gas-related products, which included liquefied natural gas, crude petroleum and refined petroleum products, recorded a decline.
The exports of palm oil, palm-based products and natural rubber also fell.
According to Statistic Department, E&E accounted for 36.3% of total exports, while timber and timber-based products contributed 2.9% of total exports.
In geographical terms, the department said Malaysia had sold more goods to the US, Thailand, European Union and Indonesia.
Year-on-year (y-o-y) imports increased 3.2% to RM60.3 billion, mainly attributed to China (+RM940.5 million), Indonesia (+RM605.1 million), Thailand (+RM404.7 million) and Brazil (+RM360.6 million).
However, in seasonally adjusted terms, imports decreased 2.9% month-on-month to RM58.6 billion.
The Statistic Department said the total trade in December was valued at RM128.6 billion, representing an increase of RM2.8 billion or 2.2% from a year ago.
"It also posted an increase of RM3.6 billion or 2.9% when compared to the previous month," the department said.
On a y-o-y basis, a trade surplus of RM8 billion was recorded, a decline of RM916.2 million or 10.3%; it showed a decrease of RM2.2 billion or 22% compared with the immediate preceding month.
Reuters reported that December's exports are expected to slow slightly from the previous month's pace due to weak global demand and slumping oil prices.
The median forecast was for a 5% expansion in December from a year earlier, compared with a 6.3% rise in November.
Imports were forecast to grow 4.3% in December from a year earlier, slowing sharply from November's pace of 9.1%, the report added.
Double checked with www.tradingeconomics.com, The Jan 2016 US Consumer Index is at 11322.5 (highest todate). Why this article gave alarming US Consumer Index numbers ? Something is not wright here or my reference is wrong.

A mixed portfolio will streamline your 2016 stock performance. Malaysia knowing that, peoples can't afford any further slide to its currency. Pls exercise your adjustment after analyze the individual counter posted its 1st qtr results of 2016; May the Monkey be with us.
Oil price is not going to recover in near term so USD against MYR should be above 4.
