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!

Stop Loss, Cut Loss and Trailing Stop


There is no universal experience or outcome in implementing stop loss, cut loss and trailing stop; we experienced them in our own way. 

No absolutely right or wrong! 

It is your own outcome over market cycles that matters!

  1. Portfolio allocation. When too big is a pain in the ass! Size cuts both way. Same as leveraging!

    1. Hee hee... that's why I prefer ETF or even UT if more efficient than ETF (gasp! bei kambing alert! LOL!)

      Takes a lot of conviction to have a single company occupy >10% of my portfolio!

      [I need to be careful with certain ETFs/funds e.g. Apple, Microsoft, Google often takes up more than 10++% EACH in tech funds!]

      OTOH banks are kinda too big to fail in SG ... govt will always step in e.g. bank consolidations in the late-1990s & early-2000s, shielding from punitive fines / reparations after GFC (unlike in HK, US, UK, Oz etc)

      Just need to be prepared that becoz of the way SG economy is structured, banks will usually get hit hard during our recessions e.g. AFC, 2001-2003, GFC ... and if I'm not wrong even our first big recession in 1986 ... Govt helped banks (and pty developers) by liberalizing CPF for private and commercial properties.

      Anyway wait so long liao ... just wait for few more months ... good chance for Big Sale before end-2019?!? Even if no 1-for-1 but got 30% discount also good! Hohoho!!

  2. "Too big to fail" is also applicable to our portfolio management too and we bail out ourselves by cutting them into smaller size to sleep better.
