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!

I don't own stocks. I lease them!



When do you own a stock?

When you paid for a stock with no intention to sell it for profit at the near future; then you can be thought of owning a stock.

When do you lease a stock?

When you paid for a stock with a definite intention to sell it for profit at the near future; then you can be thought of leasing a stock.


So I don't own stocks; I lease them.

  1. Hi,

    I have another view:
    You own a stock when you are paying in full amount.
    You lease a stock when you are not paying in full amount, eg using CDF or other margin tools.

    Regards,
    Freedom Achiever.

  2. Hmm... CFD and Margins may be are like going to a popular furniture outlet paid a down payment for a piece of furniture and use for a while and then return. LOL
