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!

Portfolio Management - Stop Losses?

I do cut losses to recover capital and redeploy the recovered capital to other stocks, but it is not related to the falling stock price. I don't need to win back in the same manner that I have lost.

One day in 2008, a guy came to this cbox and said: "Bro, do you have stop loss and you are holding a losing position for too long!"


I replied: "Bro, I don't use stop loss"

Method, Mind, and Money Management

Stop-loss is nothing more than a technical risk control and money management tool. What if we have really have in our mind this risk control and money management; and we count our money to two decimal place and we know CASH got sound and don't lose our pant!

  1. Uncle8888, you already practicing half-stop-loss strategy!

    Take out your initial capital for war chest & let your profits run!! Kekeke!!

    At end of day it's all about having insurance & risk mgmt. And insurance does have its cost .... whether actual costs, or opportunity costs, or needing more monitoring efforts.

  2. My late FIL had Koh Bros too and happily sold off as "profits" for distribution. You see long-term investing when we are dead but companies still around
