Analysts and economists are good at analysing past events, not future events.
Their forecast is very often wrong.

Global Semiconductor Sales in September Up 13.8 Percent Year-to-Year
Q3 sales are highest on record, 4.1 percent more than previous quarter, 13.8 percent higher than Q3 of last year.

Intel and Xilinx have delivered strong forecasts,

You also know analysts and economists forecast often wrong lo, what makes you think your forecasts or your ability to predict the future to be better than them? Are you an analyst or economist too? Or better yet you can look into the future?

Posted by tecpower > 2018-10-28 15:12 | Report Abuse

What they say about future events may mislead investors. They cannot forecast future events correctly in most of the time. But with new data coming into the the market, it will make an adjustment.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present you with a very good case for the concept of cognitive dissonance.


In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort (psychological stress) experienced by a person who simultaneously holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values. This discomfort is triggered by a situation in which a belief of a person clashes with new evidence perceived by that person. When confronted with facts that contradict personal beliefs, ideals, and values, people will find a way to resolve the contradiction in order to reduce their discomfort.

U remember 1993 big bull run ? Foreigners were then influenced by those US snake oil sellers with themes such as "Pacific Century". When the Bath was attacked in March 1997, some foreigners came to their senses n they started questioning if M'sian stocks are overvalued. The Japanese were the first to sell when they realised that the USD/MYR exchange rates were indeed overvalued. So much so that, if they shift their plants back to Japan, they could make a profit fr those product lines.

When the selling started, others were jolted into reality n joined the huge exodus. It is this exodus that contributed to the Asian crisis.

If foreigners held a small percentage of M'sian shares back then, the impact would have been much smaller.

Junichiro absolutely correct, so this time even if crash hits us, I think KLCI can hold up pretty well at 1,400 but if that last line of defence also broken I dunno lah... EPF and local funds won't betray us right?

Dr M was a colourful character n I hope he still is. I remember I held a huge amount of Bank Utama shares from IPO. Our market was bad then n suddenly carnations rained from the sky. Dr M just said "buy now" to local funds n as expected Bank utama IPO shares were above water on the opening day.

KLCI is now under the control of EPF and local funds. It won’t drop much even though DJ crashing as FF share holding is negligible now. But it’s hard to say for mid and small cap.
