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!

Learn from the Wisdom of the Fisherman

When the tide is coming in, the fisherman may use all his available fishing rods and may even change to bigger hooks as rising tides may bring in more fishes and even bigger fish. The chances of catching fishes or bigger fish are high so don't spare the rods.

When the tide goes down, the fisherman will start rolling back his fishing rods and wait for the next high tide. When the tide is low, the chance of catching of bigger fish will be low; but the risk of getting your fishing hook and sinker get caught by the under-water obstacles is high and that may break your fishing line and lose your sinker. To replace them will cost you some money.
