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!

Reading? Investing Made Simple by Uncle8888 (7)

Two-Way Buying Decision

For every completed stock transaction, there are  buyer/buyers and seller/sellers. You may have analysed the stock and decided it is good time to buy; but have you equally put in enough time and effort to analyse why they sell?

Never assume the market is wrong and you are right. As retail investors with limited resources, you are better off to be humble and assume that the market is often right than wrong.

To be contrarian-investor, you may dare to go against the crowd's wisdom; but you may still need to understand the cause and the reason for the sell down.

Is reward-risk ratio high enough to compensate you to go against the crowd? If not, better be humble and assume the market is right and avoid it. There will always be enough opportunities in the market.
