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!

The Greatest Lesson that I have learnt from my losses!

Read old posting on? The Cruel Math of Big Losses - II

The greatest lesson that I have learnt from my losses is not either the need to further improve skills on technical or fundamental analysis but to keep LOSSES small and to cap the destructive power of the market against invested capital deployed in the market.

I have learnt that once your capital is invested in the market you have absolutely lost your control over it. The market will decide your fate. The only trusted and proven thing to do is to limit your losses to the lowest % of your invested capital as it is so much easier to recover with smaller losses as clearly shown in the older post.
