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!

Fight Mr. Market With One Hand or Both Hands? How does it matters???



Uncle8888 has been hearing it many times ...

 Fight with one hand (Long only)

 Fight with both hands! (Long and Short Traders)

 How does it matters across market cycles of Bull and Bear?
Uncle8888 doesn't know what really matter?

 But; he knows he has 10-year Target to meet and a job to do in the stock market.

 Probably; he thinks the main difference may lie with the size of war chest and account. Long only retail investors will definitely require much larger account size and war chest than active long and short traders as long only retail investors will have to let both their cash and investment portfolio rotting heavily along their investing journey to earn those yearly dividends and some realized trading P/L. 

Efficiency and turnover of capital may be very low for long only investors. Unproductive capital at work?


BTW, there is no free lunch in the stock market. We need to sweat for it! Some time, it can be cold sweat!

    CW,

    Interesting choice of words - Long & Short.

    Change it to Entries & Exits.

    Never underestimate the power of words to "influence" our thinking.

      Never underestimate the power of words to "influence" our thinking.

      It is NOT just "influence" our thinking. Try posting a few "seductive" and "convincing" blog posts on a few potential and promising investment return; you will soon have a large followers.

      CW,

      And that's why I don't.

      I'm a grasshopper; not a shepherd ;)

      Why would I want a flock of sheep for?

      Fleece and milk them? Lamp chops anyone?

      I wonder who said investing/trading is not something everyone and anyone can do it?

      LOL!
