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 know what I don’t know

Read? Gambling - investment - speculation

Read? Known and Unknown?

In the stock market, instead of admitting that "I don’t know what I don’t know ", we turn it into "I think I know something that others don't know." That is speculation!

Investors or traders are all speculating at different levels using different method. Traders use charts to speculate. Investors use corporate and financial data to speculate. Basically, both traders and investors ultimately speculate on just two things: future earning and/or future cash back to shareholders.

Future Earning

There is no absolute certainty in knowing future corporate earning as there are just too many moving parts in them. We are just speculating on their future earning whether it is sustainable, growing or weakening.

Future cash back to shareholders

Investors and traders also speculate on future cash back to shareholders in form of stock dividends, special dividends, share buy-back, privatisation at premium. Just start a big rumor on any of these, the traders will jump in a big way.

In the stock market, all of us speculate!
