Reduce interest, reduce tariff, increase spending, easy loan for first time house buyer, reduce car tax, increase minimum income & etc. All mentioned are not structural approaches when the basic income driven mechanism is knowledge and skills. Cost is forever trending high due to universal rule of inflation. Increase main stream income is the only solution.

When above 60% household income below RM 6,000 per month. Merely 2 millions tax payers with income more than RM 3,500 for 30 millions population. The main street low income structure is obvious.

The key is education our ministers and politicians.  Structural change of mid to long term fiscal spending on education and R&D. Excluding privates schools and colleges.  Why we need another tallest tower when we can also increase spending in education? Doesn’t spending in building quality education as compararive to infrastructure spending?  We need massive educational related fiscal spending as catch up.

We like KHIND as we have personally used it’s products. Innovative and reliable. With the consistent result for many quarters that we have monitored.  We will increase our holding slowly.

For many past quarters that MNRB has slipped into red. 1st quarter of current financial year brought good news with back to normalise profit. EPS 14.5 is consider a good result. We would like to see improvement from next 2 quarters before we issue a buy call back again.

Tim’s move will ensure this big market segment for IPhone.  We.see it positive with IPhone 7 launching soon. We believe a strong competition of Samsung Galaxy 7 will make Apple pick up more to get technically closer to all.  Though I am a Samsung fan with particular in Note 7.  But I think Apple IPhone 7 should do well.  We long Apple shares since USD 107 for short term strength.

Our model is there is no crash ahead. But low rate, slow grow and mild inflation will be the scenario.  Thus, we cut down our hedge and cash. We will move more focus into equities with stable business and trading under NTA.

An anticipated prolong slow economy worldwide. Fiscal and monetary policies devalued almost all currencies.  However inflation remained in line or expectation.  REITS as asset based investment will be an alternative to bond for many investors.  As bond return affected by monetary policy.  REITS will benefit with lower cost of borrowing to offset vacancies rate.

BOJ recent stimulus executions include buying of J-REITS pushed it values average 60% above its assets value.  That transformed into world most expensive asset.  

MREITS and SREITS are consider cheap if yield still fetching average 5% above with capital appreciation potential.  With the high speed rail link in making a strong economy impact between Singapore and Malaysia. Both REITS are still very attractive.  Why there is a compromization of Malaysia and China.  We strongly believe is the competition of Thailand canal.

MBSB, EIG and CIMB remained our  top picks.  We still holding a number of grow stocks and bluechip stocks. You will aware our holdings if you follow our blogs across years.   However, these three are our top picks that we will continue to buy on weakness. But that does not mean we do not invest into other stocks.  Our focus means we will have our 80% investable fund into our focus top 3 picks during the period.

Fund of any size of any place in this world will like to grow big for sure.  To ahcieve this growth. A leap frog is always required at different milestone.  You need to look at mid to long term grow that can give you multiple folds of return.  You need to know it is a bet with calculated risk. You can loose one or two times.  But when you win, you need to win many times more.

Slow grow demand dampened commodities prices.  Super low rates across the globe making bond and FD not even able to cover mild inflation between 1 to 2%.  Property yields are dropping and struggle to support price growth.  Stocks will be the focus and continue create new high in years to come.

As expected that world central banks from smaller economy is catching up in reducing rates.

I believe a new phenomenon that is super low rate, mild GDP grow and mild inflation for a very long time to go. Possibly 5 to 10 Years cycle but escaping a crash.
