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!

  1. STI gains 106% from 2002 to 2014. So, you beat STI.

    If someone started 2008, he is probably still in negative zone.

    So, it depends when you start. If you start at wrong foot, then you're doom. LOL

  2. Fully agreed!

    We must do some level of market timing ourselves for gradually in and gradually out; and sometime just stay out with some cash rotting. Never mind. LOL!

  3. No! i think people who have started in 2007 will take a long, long time to even break even. Whereas people who started in 2008/2009 should be doing very well if they have not sold. These people if they have been selling from 2011 till now should be doing quite to very well.
    Of course there people are who "never" sell only buy.

  4. Gain in % terms doesn't tell us anything without knowing the starting capital.
