When is the right time to enter share market?

Global markets tumbled again due to:
1. The contagion effect of sub-prime mortgage issue.
2. Winding down on Yen Carry Trade cousing commodities prices tumbled sharply. Oil price today hit USD$64.
3. Consumer spending power deterioting badly in US and Europe and will affect the global demand for goods. Therefore, the chain effect will spread widely and fast to whole world.

Personal views on the timing to enter shares market;
1. The weak global consumer consumption will turn bad after Christmas and Chinese New Year.
2. Global production figures will reduce and jobless rate will increase sharply.

Therefore, the right timing to enter may be somewhere after May/June 2009. Unless some meaningful fiscal policies take and help to boost the economy.

Current strategies for existing portfolio will be :
1. Take profit for TM@3.36 and realised profit of RM1,600. Hold cash
2. Buy t0 average NCB 10,000 shares@2.30. Buy to average TMI 2,000 shares@4.60.
