I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

Bear trap - Queue to sell off all contra trades. Bite the bullet

Total estimated contra loss and cut losses = $61K !!!

Huge contra losses wipe off 46% of my last year profit of $134K in days!

I will need to re-strategise in view of very difficult market ahead before hitting the buy button again.

Portfolio update - Sold Kep, Bought back Kep, and bought more STX

DOW vs STI






DOW has recovered +2% from its latest low at 12,589 on 8 Jan 08 while STI was at its latest new low 3,323 yesterday, 10 Jan 08.

I believe STI should recover aggressively today.

As of yesterday, DOW is -9.3% from its last high, and STI is -14.3%, so it means that STI has more room to catch up with DOW.

2007 Review and Strategy for 2008

After reviewing those trades made in 2007, I have made the following observations:

- several contra losses due to lack of fund arising from over-trading.
- averaging down at narrow gap without significant lower average cost.

Change of strategy:
- Enforce discipline of 2% risk limit per counter and 6% risk limit per 6% drop in STI index. This will help to prevent overtrading.

- Harder to do contra trade for counters that are more than $3 due to change in bids. Will focus more on counters that are less than $3
