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!

This Guru was not any ordinary trader but the Chief Trainer and Strategist in one of the Kung Fu School of Trading in Singapore hor.

Since STI has recovered 20.7% from its low on 9 Mar 09 at 1,457 , it is technically just at the gate of the BULL market. Let more bullies come and push the herd in. Is the rise mainly due to end of quarter Window Dressing? We shall see after next week.


One thing is that in forums we heard many shortlists Bear Paws were BBQ yesterday and some began to join the Bull camp.
