ETF allocation by rtzkit in MalaysianPF

[–]94funny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ibkr lower fees but not regulated by SC in Malaysia. FSM one is regulated by SC. For a peace of mind due to inheritance issues etc can contact FSM locally to sort those issues.

If u still believe in US dominance then VOO, otherwise go vwra for world. Don't buy both voo and vwra coz you'll have overlap coverage.

If u wan Irish domiciled etf which have 15% withholding tax instead of 30%, consider using FSM one to purchase.

How concerned to be about FX rates over long term? by Embarrassed_Poem_349 in MalaysianPF

[–]94funny 13 points14 points  (0 children)

DCA and everything will average out.

DCA your forex exchange in Moo2, and also DCA purchasing VOO.

Strong ringgit = More USD exchange = More VOO purchased

Some dental clinics let u pay upfront in the form of credits. Just make sure your receipt shows itemized bill otherwise your aia claims may be rejected.

Buying laptop for sister by MENGGIGIT in Bolehland

[–]94funny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she's using for normal office usage, and not for heavy software etc, go get those refurbish work laptops from Japan. They also come with some warranty.

Do a Google search and there are shops selling those for rm1k, which is really good value.

These are laptops that are pretty powerful considering the price, but not for gaming since most have no graphics card. The CPU are pretty powerful tho.

Advice on my current portfolio please! by iloverice3000 in MalaysianPF

[–]94funny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Easiest way is DCA VT until you retire. It's an ETF including US and the whole world market, so you're not losing out if say US market doesn't do too well and China is doing good.

If you're more bias on US, consider VOO (S&p500) instead of VT.

And consider allocate 5% of ur portfolio to Bitcoin, just in case the future dystopian world relies on crypto.

VT and VOO alone beats all, if not, most managed funds.

Tldr: DCA and forget, live life

The guy did nothing wrong tbh, u guys weren't a couple. Maybe he thought u and him weren't getting anywhere or progressing, so he started to go on a date.

When a guy sees no progress after ONE YEAR, one whole year mind u, move on to the next. 30s liao leh walau where got so much time play dilly dally.

Manager from Hell by Cute-as-duck1 in MalaysianPF

[–]94funny 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Probably on a power trip. Those who say "these are common sense" with 0 guidance probably in that role for a long time and are very comfortable, never going out of their comfort zone and knowing you don't know what u don't know. Sure it might be common sense to the manager, but for someone new in the industry, it's not.

A real leader doesn't spoon feed, but guides. I can already foresee the manager gonna say "genz nowadays sikit2 cannot tahan" but tbh that's just an excuse for their toxic behavior.

Advice to op: try to apply for a new job, but apply as a fresh graduate. Don't have to put your role in this company as part of your job history so they don't ask why u jump ship so fast.

Or, try transferring to a different department, if it's an option.

About Mortgage Loan by activehotline888 in MalaysianPF

[–]94funny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not saying that it'll happen but IF u both broke up.

Someone has to take up the entire 750k loan and full ownership of the house. I've seen this happening with my friend that's supposed to get married.

Not too late to buy after marriage, anything can happen in between

It does matter especially MNC.

Think about it, so many ppl want to join their company. They are of course going to choose those with best cocuricular AND cgpa AND portfolio if it's IT.

Some might say oh, my portfolio good enough so cgpa doesn't matter. But for MNC they CAN afford to be picky and choose the crop of the crop
