In investing; your account size really matters! - CW8888
Watch out for your colleagues who are investors as they can be our Influencers as our account size may not be significantly different like Monkey vs Gorilla.
Our account size difference probably is ranging from Baby monkey to Full-grown monkey; and in the worst case probably Monkey vs Chimpanzee.
I can. You can? One day we can reach the stage of Full-grown monkey. LOL!

"When you see your favourite blogger bought something e.g. a few bunches of banana and that doesn't mean it is a good time for you to buy a few banana too.
Your favourite blogger may be a 800 pounds Gorilla sitting on high level of cash and gobbling up a few bunches of banana here and there is not going to cause any problem.
But, to a small Monkey on low cash level is different. Just eating up one bunch of banana may cause indigestion if got it wrong. In the stock market, small Monkey can't behave like giant Gorilla."
Real happening in ex-famous cbox where most of the monkeys in that cbox were feeling down due to lack of bullets to hoot more in 2009. This Gorilla-cboxer kept buying and buying. When the market and economy finally recovered; he showed us his 6 digits passive income! LOL!

Trust in the power of compounding, don't try to time the market
Hmm .. another way of achieving this type of "growth" passively over our lifetime is ....
We can also trust in the power of topping up of dividends as Panda/Koala retail investors in Singapore or voluntary cash topping up as in 1M65!
Always goes up over our lifetime!

Read? The Best Defense Against Inflation As Investors Is Warren Buffet Rule
How I interpret Warren Buffet Rule?
Who are those retail investors who can possibly make Warren Rule come true!
Retirees who cash out their investment gains i.e. dividends and trading profits from the market for their spending; and never ever give back to Mr Market. Zero compounding strategy as retirees!
After X or XX years, this strategy will fulfill Warren Buffet Rule! LOL! I can. You can!
Rule No. 1: Never lose money. (Own hard earned saving as investing capital)
Rule No. 2: Never forget rule No. 1. (Don't reinvest your gains. LOL!)
SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - Rumours are that liquidators are trying to seize the assets of Singapore-based crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC), which became the latest victim of the crash in cryptocurrency. Two partners at advisory and consulting firm Teneo have been appointed to handle 3AC’s liquidation.
3AC was put under liquidation by a court in the British Virgin Islands on Monday, June 27, after 3AC failed to repay creditors. On June 30, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) reprimanded the firm for providing false information and for breaching fund management industry licensing rules.
The firm was co-founded by former Credit Suisse traders Su Zhu and Kyle Davies at the kitchen table of their apartment in 2012, according to a Bloomberg story last year. The two of them are only in their mid-30s.
Zhu is co-founder, director, CEO and CIO of 3AC, while Davies is co-founder and chairman of the firm. Their crypto assets had reportedly been worth several billion dollars at one point.
CW8888: One of our tasks as investors is to recognize or acknowledge this illusion of wealth in market during bullish market and has strategy in place to keep part of this illusion of wealth in the market really safe from the next market crisis.
So my sifu is right!
It is far better to regret not making more money than to feel sorry of losing your hard earned money.
My sifu started trading and investing at age of 18 following the foot-steps of his father into the stock market.
Choose Regret or Sorry?
It is in our own hands. It is our own making!

Seriously, we have to ask and think deeper where does the money come from?

4. At stock market
Answer for 1 to 3 is pretty obvious; but 4 may be tricky for confused retail traders or investors.
Seriously, we must know where does the money come from before putting our hard earned savings in the market.

So the difference is Forever! LOL!
Uncle8888 still can remember donkey years ago in late Investing Trainer-Guru's forum the great debate between this Guru and one veteran retail trader on the great difference between investing and trading and why he discouraged trading!
Most successful and confident retail investors like Guru himself dare to expose 50% or more of their net worth into stock market to build investment portfolio; and Guru asked the veteran retail trader if he knew any retail traders putting 50% or more of their net worth into their trading account? No? That is the great difference! LOL!

Uncle8888 based on his tracking of annual household expenses to derive the number to reach Financial Independence with 4% Withdrawal rule. i.e. FI = Net worth assets excluding residential home = 25 x Highest household expenses tracked since 2002!
Somehow SARS and COVID soften the FI number based on 4% withdrawal rule. We can expect more such virus in the coming decades!
