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!

Not Anguish Over Paper Losses???



Let Get Real!

Not just anguish; sometime it may be depressive too!

Paper losses are RELATIVE to our account size and net worth. 

Large % drop on paper losses relative to our net worth can be anguish or depressive!

Look closely at icons. It is exactly Uncle8888 felt about his paper losses. 

Best is to avoid getting into large paper losses and anguish no more!

  1. Doesn't sound very "passive" to me...

    Like the duck trying its best to look cool and clam above the waterline - Look! more passive income coming in this month!

    But beneath the water peddling like mad :(

    We see what we want to see ;)

  2. Above water is passive. Under water is anguish or depressive. LOL!

  3. Shhh....

    You spoil market!

    Other people doing their best to spread sunshine and blue sky scenario... Steady this, ai zai that.

    Putting a nice spin that just as long we have candies every month, all is well! (Just don't peek below the waterline)

    You have to come along and tell the truth that its candy only when you are still in the money. If suffering paper losses, those are panadols :(

    Not making life easy for sunshine cheerleaders like me!

    $@@$^*(*^%##$^!

    LOL!

  7. Some fund managers ride through the cycle and emerge stronger after the storm.

    So, it is very much depends on one's investment goal and objective.

    2. Don't have any illusion that blue chips sure can recover. Blue chips may become blue-black chips and may not recover.

  8. So investment in stocks is actually like a psychological game. It is not only how good u can analyse a stock, but also how to control yourself. Patience, calm, composed....

    I think it's better to do a "mind stress test!" what if my portfolio down 50%, I loose my job, my property money no enough to pay mortgage etc etc
