Value Investing Or Active Investing?

"However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results." - Winston Churchill

Peter Drucker once said, “What gets measured, gets managed.”

Trading/Investing - Are you winning or losing?

Active Investing, Passive Investing, and Active Monitoring - Part 2

Long Tem Investing and Short Term Trading

I heard one value investor said: "It's hard to understand why people venture into trading. It's better to ignore it totally. I think the reason is the innate nature of human to strike it big through gambling which derives both satisfaction for short-term gain and also the thrill. Maybe some of them really can make some money, but I know none"

I am telling you the true story of two women who has been making money as active investors and they can be considered as relatively new active investors.
  • Super Mum started her active investing journey from Jul 2008 and of yesterday her CAGR is 15.5%
  • Piggy was lucky to start her active investing  from Feb 2009 where it was near to the low of 2008 Greater Bear and her CAGR is 25%
However, we cannot expect to continue have such good portfolio returns going forward and anything more than 10% CAGR is pretty good.

Who say you can't make money in active investing? Let be open minded!

It is definitely far too difficult to take the road traveled by Warren Buffet and Tiger wood; but to trace the footprints of Super Mum and Piggy is not so difficult as you think.
