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!

                        Cart in front of Horse











The Gurus are more interested in selling their carts than understanding the horses who will be pulling the carts. They will tell you that all horses are born to pull carts. Their carts are the easier to pull than other carts in the market. You will easily reach your destination with their carts and not other carts that are too heavy.

Yes, their cart may be easier to pull. There may be no doubts about it; but, the issue is the Cart is before the Horse. Seriously think over it. Can a horse easily pull a cart in front of it?

However, in the real world, there will be some smarter horses who will soon find out on their own the right way is to place the cart behind them and pull while many other horses will continue to pull the carts in front of them. They will fail!

Horse is your Mind and Money




A better learning approach for you to succeed in your investing journey is that you must have good understanding of the Horse and find the right Cart to match the Horse so that it can safely reach its destination.

Think it over. Can Cart before Horse work?
