the above thread shld be good for u too

do it regularly... not lump sum.
but any extra bonus, lump sum, stocks is pretty good.

btw, as ur investment amount is small, does not make sense for u to diversify into forex... unless u meant it as a practice account to get trading experience, then its ok i guess

personally i wont touch unit trust.
i stick to usa and sgx stocks...

It sounds like your funds are a bit all over the place.
Would suggest converting unit trusts/forex for example into cash.

I personally keep >=6 months living expenses in OCBC high interest account.
The rest can invest in STI index etf.

FOREX is for carry trades, earning 20% interest annually.
Unit trusts is for backup.

basically i'm going for highest risk(FOREX), high risk(stock) and low risk(unit trust). with saving on the side.

What stocks do you hold?

Considering your available investable funds of ~4k, its probably wise to take on less risk.

$1000 forex you only can do 0.01
You can open another so you got 1 a/c for Aussie and 1 a/c for kiwi.

For 0.01 two trades is okay but 3 is pushing it. To survive a crash (if it comes) to below 0.7980 for kiwi you need more then $1000 to tahan the margin and to have buying power at the bottom. Normally it's 20 cent drop so that is 2000 pips. Every 0.01 is $200 and if want to insert one trade every 200 pips then definitely you need more firepower to tahan the margin and to buy a bigger lot at the bottom. I might not be right but do have a thought.

In terms of crash forex is the best place to be in. $2000 per lot is better then any stock. SGX the most give you double.

Think my 1000 unit is Ur 0.001 lot lol, I got one nzd trade negative 200 pip but only negative 20 dollars.
For each 1 dollars I invest. I got 1 dollar saved arh. If need be I can rebalanced and move my saving around so no worry.

I super low risk, take home pay less than 2k, take me forever to have this extra 1k for invesment. Better spread around ba, don't wanna risk all on forex.

But very excited for crash! Maybe can buy my first blue chip!

Sometimes diversify too wide might not be such a good idea. You will not know the correlation of the crash and how many or how much the instruments will be affected. You are in better shape if 1 out of the 3 sank then 3 out of 4 sank.

I was in that awkward position when my banker recommend a basket of unit trusts. ****i no matter market up or down overall still negative. I fire her and do my own.
