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 have been seriously recording my transactions; tracking and measuring my portfolio performance since Jan 2000.

My portfolio XIRR (CAGR) since Jan 2000 and Nov 2008

XIRR since Jan 2000 as on Tuesday (25 Oct 2011) market closing = 9.9%
Historical XIRR since Jan 2000: Lowest on 27 Oct 2008 at 3.0% and highest on 11 Oct 2007 at 23.5%

XIRR since Nov 2008 as on Tuesday (25 Oct 2011) market closing = 12.6%

Historical XIRR since Nov 2008: Lowest on 4 Oct 2011 at 10.6% and highest on 2 Feb 2011 at 22.7%

I learned two important points for sustaining XIRR:


  1. Don't lose too much money on losing stocks.
  2. Can't let cash rotting in the bank for too long.
