I hope and believe Pips will move forward and upward. But I am aware that the Bank of Negara may have it's own agenda (and if other governments try to influence, I would think the US government might pose a risk also) and ultimately truth and what is right may not matter.
As much as I trust Bryan and believe in pips, I agree - to me it is about planning for the worst. Anytime anyone has ever asked me about pips, I have said to them that they have to pretend they are throwing away money - on the day they put it in to pips, pretend it is gone forever. (In other words know that they can manage without it, don't invest what they can't afford to lost). Then if they get a return (which I believe they will, but there are no guarantees), it is a wonderful bonus.
