    How do you guys invest?

    I found the chart. I hope it's legible. Unfortunately, the resolution isn't very good. You can see a very clear outperformance. The currency depreciated by around 50% over that period, yet the outperformance remains. In addition, dividend yields in Indonesia were significantly higher during that...

    As mentioned before, long-term from 1999 until now the Indonesian stock market had a very impressing performance and outperformed the S&P500. A few days ago, I found a chart that I will post here also if I can find it again. And there is still an outperformance even if you consider the IDR/USD...

    That is true. But the outperformance of the Indonesian stock market is so huge that there is still an outperformance if you consider also the currency effect. The performance of the Indonesian stock market since 1999 has been 1,200% (despite the bad performance in the last weeks and months)...

    If you look at the long-term performance (since 1999), the Indonesian stock market outperformed the S&P500.

    One question regarding buying Indonesian stocks: I tried to get a BCA Sekuritas account for buying stocks. The employees of BCA showed me that the process to open that account is very simple for WNI customers that already have a bank account and the app. But for WNA the process (at least in my...

    As far as I know, in this forum some members use Interactive Brokers already for quite a long time. I also asked Gemini (I know the information that AI gives is not always correct) and referring to that response it is allowed in Indonesia ( no guarantee that this information is correct, I did...

    For the first time exchange rate EUR/IDR reached 1:20,000 now. 😨 For companies which depend on imports from the EU this is probably not a good development. For exporting companies to Europe (and also for tourists from Europe) pretty fine, of course.

    Let’s wait for the outcome of the investigation, as the root cause has not yet been clearly established. Based on current information, this appears to be an isolated case rather than a system-wide issue. Personally, I would prefer to use brokers affiliated with large, well-known banks, such as...

    Correct me please if I am wrong: The Jiwasraya, Asabri, and Bumiputra cases were serious corruption scandals, but they involved state-owned insurance entities rather than typical publicly listed operating companies. These events point to governance weaknesses in specific institutions, not to...

    Considering getting a place in Lombok

    About your plan to apply for the Indonesian citizenship: Do you already know which requirements there are in your case? I mean you just mentioned in passing although it is a big decission and not so easy to do it. As far as I know (at least in all cases I heard of), you'll need to give up your...

    Some New Immigration Fees

    Ah okay, I didn't know you have to pay even for leaving the country. Kind of strange and funny 😀

    Does anyone have a recommendation which bank or broker to use for investing in Indonesian stocks (saham)? A broker with not too high fees and spreads and with a customer-friendly user interface?

    Work KITAS and Indonesian PT

    Thank you for the explanation and the example. I only wonder what exactly counts as a "small business". Just as an example: Would a CV still count as a small business? At least, it does not count as a legal entity as far as I know. Or does the revenue determine whether or not it is still a...

    Work KITAS and Indonesian PT

    I hope it is okay if I post this question here since it is connected to the topic here. I don´t want to open a new thread for this question if there is a thread that has a very similar topic: The IMTA for foreigners costs 1,200 USD per year at the moment. Does anyone here have experience or...

    My experience is very different. On Lombok, you can find plenty of BPR in Mataram. I went to a few, all were very professional. Well-dressed, well-informed, friendly. Interest rate (deposito) was 6 to 6.5% p.a. which is in line with LPS regulation for BPR and more than you can get at Jenius, Sea...

    Every now and then we discussed BPR banks here. What do you think about their stability? Recent news do not sound so good: https://m.antaranews.com/berita/4024365/ojk-sebut-pemangkasan-bpr-diarahkan-untuk-menyehatkannya...

    Only to avoid people saying „yeah, now suddenly you claim to have invested into Shell in the crisis when the stock price was super-low“, the quotation is my comment from 2020 😁

    How do you guys invest?

    Shell is the biggest position in my portfolio since I was convinced that the future of oil and gas was not that bad as many thought during the pandemic. I invested directly after the dividend cut in 2020 and then a few months later again. Now Shell is at an all-time high...I am really happy to...
