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!

Passive Income - Rental vs Dividend Yield (2)

Read? Passive Income - Rental vs Dividend Yield

What you will not find in property rental as passive income.

To receive unexpected special dividends down the road and especially when the special dividends are fairly large. Shiok!!! The key here is unexpected. Really shiok!!!

  1. Hi CW,
    Unexpected special dividend from your stock is shiok, definitely. The closest comparison to stock is unexpected rental income increment can happen if our PAPAYA suddenly open the flood gate letting a torrent of immigrants to come into Singapore. This actually happened and is happening. The "flood gate'"has not actually closed, yet.
    And my close relative sold her landed semi-d for $3.5 million, bought a semi-d with lesser land area for $2 million but now can easily sell for $2.5 million.
    So you see the difference between Stock & Property. i admit my relative hold her property for more than 35 years before they cashed in. But they bought it for only i think $+-300k. And Singapore population was only 2.5 million or much lesser.
    Well, that's life.

  3. Hi Drizzt,

    I realized that TSR for DBS for long-term holding is not that good. It is 10.1% CAGR over 8.7 yrs :-(

  4. Actually, capital gain in stocks can be even more scary.

    $10K in Noble IPO is a millionaire today and $10m in Wilmar made Peter Lim a Billionaire

    The biggest problem with stocks that few investors can hold that long to become rich enough.

    Only people who are already rich can hold stocks for long long.

  7. Hi Guru,
    i am not rich from the beginning till now. But i hold 72 HP shares since 1982 till now. Now it has become 645 shares due to bonus issues and "DRIP". The worst thing is US $ has been depreciating from $3 to now $1.3. So you see i am still as poor as far as holding HP shares is concerned.
    And if only i hold KeppleCorp shares when i first started in 1988 till now, i will be rich. But i am actually a Bear/Bull market trader. We are actually(most of us are anyway)one type of traders or another. i believe there is no two ways about this. Ha! Ha!

  8. Forex risk is so real. I am more conservative type and choose to avoid direct forex risk and let the compnay and institution take care of it themselves.

  9. Hi CW8888,
    hmm...probably I should be looking at other stocks apart from reits, cause their dividends are pretty much predictable..(for now)..I used to own keppel corp before back in 2007, but it is too expensive for me to accumulate...

    Hi Temperament,

    1982? wow, may I ask how old are you now?

    cheers

  10. Hi Guru,

    I can understand that some stocks may be too expensive to trade as it require many more bids to breakeven.

    But for dividend yield, it is no difference e.g. 8% dividend yield on 1 lot of $10 stock or 10 lots of $1 stock. Right?
