How nice if I could really hop into the Wayback / WABAC machine (like the one from the "Peabody's Improbable History' cartoon)! Before getting side-tracked into a wild fictional narrative, let's come back to the topic at hand - what investment decisions would I have changed if I could go back to 1 Jan 2023...? Using Yahoo Finance, I called up an overlay of STI, KLSE, HSI and DJI as these are where I am (or am planning to be) investing mainly at. First observation, for Q1, HSI seemed to break away from the pack with major upside of ~15% with respect to 1 Jan 2023, but come Feb'23, all 4 markets slid downwards until mid Mar'23.
