Not like other country in the region, Indonesia Economy is very special. Many called a giant sleeping, but prefer a new emerging market about to rise. That's because the stable of economy growth for several years, so calculation on track for the several years ahead.
If you are a kind long term investor, you are very safe investing in Indonesia. You gain a lot by keeping investment for long period in Indonesia, as economy became stable and bigger. Your asset will increase gradually and perhaps many fold in future.
If you are a shorter type investor, you have to be careful investing in Indonesia. That's because its difficult to predict the move in short term period. So many small "whale" control the market, the fight make it hard to predict the outcome.
Although if you can keep the cash flow well, it would be safe, but not all are true. The problem reside in your investment turn to medium or long term investment as the price does not move at all. Perhaps in between you will need cash for your need.
In stock market cash flow is important, you have to be careful to manage the investment. Since the price can not be predict at all, you have to maintain the reserve cash for the big fall. This could be happen at any time, suddenly also the market back upward, this is the crazy thing.
For example if you have cash thousand dollar, use only half and keep the rest for the down fall. You will see that reserve cash will give you a huge return, compare to the other half you invest early.
