scoutman360 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Seems to be sinking a slow demise. Everyday a few points down. If the U.S. has a recession, it could impact global markets and cause a further side. What does your crystal ball predict for next year? I am wondering if it could take 5 years before we see a turnaround back to the highs we had last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asiantravel Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 ' it could take 5 years before we see a turnaround back to the highs we had last year.' what do you think will happen over 5 years to see an improvement? Where is the growth going to come from during that period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash999 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 It's trading at a PE of 22 which is high considering there don't seem to be obvious economic gains to be had in the short term. My crystal ball prediction is a slow decline next year unless any major events happen, in which case we could see a sudden drop, a bit of doom and gloom predictions followed by a rebound.

jippytum Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I must agree overall the outlook is not so good in the medium turn .However there are some good quality dividend stocks close to being oversold suitable perhaps for the longer term investor..

You will not get to the top of this mountain even breathing bottled oxygen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoutman360 Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 I am a mutual fund investor, as I don't have the courage or investing skills to go into direct company stocks. It seems like a good time to buy bond funds for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider starting a private group topic. But you're still taking huge risks, unless the group is clearly identifiable to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To quote Warren Buffet '' Be fearful when others are greedy ...and greedy when others are fearful '' You don't say what market/ currency you wish to invest in, not some idea of you needs - income or capital gains. Where ever, learn how to check not only the dividend yield, but also the dividend payout ratio. Further, Thai dividends are subject to a withholding tax (normally 15% but may be less). If you are paying Thai taxes, the dividend tax may be refundable as a tax credit. The KISS Principle says - .invest in bond/equity funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
