Very Good Advice - 4 Rules for the Seesaw Market

The market roller coaster took another big dip down Wednesday, with the Dow tumbling more than 400 points midday before stabilizing a bit.

If you're like most non-professional traders, these kinds of wild market swings — down 635 Monday, up 430 Tuesday, down 400 Wednesday -- can be gut-wrenching, confusing and downright scary. (Rest assured, many professionals feel the same way - they just don't admit it.)

EPF Investment

Last week I decided to sell my EPF based unit trust investment. After investing for 2 years, finally got some return and is time to harvest it...

2009 - Withdrawed from EPF and invested in Equity Based Fund (Stock Market based)
2010 - Sell half of the fund, profit 14% within 1 year
2011 - Sell remaining half of the fund, profit 28% within 2 years, average 14% per year

Not bad the return, in fact much better than 5-6% of EPF dividend per year.

I guess now is time to hunt for currency related fund, especially USD, Euro and GBP. Not really familiar with this....need to spend some time in research before make next investment decision....
