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!

Real People and Reality of Trading


I think I have shared enough of my personal experiences on reality of trading and investing. May be it is good to share one reader's experience and the reality of trading so that newbies can sit up and seriously think about it.

KY in his email to me: "I began my investing journey in 1998 back in the days when CLOB is still ard and am very young. Thus I believe went thru 3 cycles. after HK, dot com, asia finance, asia flu and usa finance."

and he still lose big money after spending years across market cycles. What is really missing?

I believe he is like some investors/traders are killed by Averaging Down strategy. I have been killed before using Averaging Down strategy; but now I only use Averaging In because ..

Like another reader, CH; I hope that after a series of emails with KY, he may be able to revise his own strategy to win back; but in a different manner to regain his confidence but not overconfidence. This one can really kill!
