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!

Patience In The Stock Market??? (3)


Read? Patience In The Stock Market??? (2)

Uncle8888's patience in the stock market cuts both way. His attitude towards losses is very different from commonly known or practiced concept.

He is very patient with both winners and losers. He doesn't have Stop-losses. He still believe in salted fishes becoming alive one day.

How to treat losses and move on without carrying the sampan all the time?

If really salted, he will write down the losses to ZERO stock value and move on. These losses are NON-CASH items and only impact his portfolio performance measurement when he still have big war chest. But; when his war chest is very low or empty then it is different ball game; he will need to raise cash. 

He will cut these zeroed stocks and still "profitable". LOL!

"It's not whether you're right or wrong that's important, but how much money you make when you're right and how much you lose when you're wrong." ~ George Soros


What is the cost of his attitude?



When he is deadly wrong, his maximum loss is 100%; but when he is seriously right; his win is N x 100% and still counting. 

So what is wrong with his attitude?

    To stomach the $0 salted fish, there must be at least a few abalones in the backyard right? ;)

    Cut loss will let you take a step back , preserving your capital before you take another dip into the water .. Remember if you lost 50% of your capital, you need to make 100% with your balance capital to get back you original amount..
