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!

Basic concept of Risks vs. Returns

Just For Thinking ....

Once we fully understand the basic concept of Risks vs. Returns and develop common sense in finance and investment matters we will not become victim of greed.

1. Low risk and low return

When the risk is low, the return is expected to be low.

2. Low risk and high return

Red alert! This is highly not possible in a free market environment. Don't ever let the Greed overcome you and become foolish. A fool and his money will soon part.

3. High risk and low return

Warning! Many of those financial instruments that are highly leverages are actually high risk and low return when you are lacking in knowledge and skills in executing these financial instruments by yourself and depending on your financial advisers to complete them for you. Your financial advisers will be eating into most of your returns and leaving you with high risk and low return after expenses and management fees.

4. High risk and high return

Be extra careful! Not necessary true so you have to be extra careful and seriously do your homework. You must have the financial strength, knowledge and skills to earn this type of high returns. Average investors are advised to stay away as these financial instruments may not be your cup of tea.

Conclusion

Get educated. Trained yourself to be more knowledgeable and skillful. Build up your financial strength so that one day high risk and high return may become your cup of tea.

  1. Good advice. Get financially educated by going through the books in the library. There are many of them. I started with " Rich Dad and Poor Dad" and many other did too. The best is to turn something high risk high return one day into an investment that is low risk and high return forever.

  4. Hi,
    High risk, high returns. Low risk, low returns. Worse case high risk, low returns. Best case low risk, high returns.
    The best case is actually possible only to someone who has been used to all weather fishing. For the rest of us, there is no such thing as LOW RISK, HIGH RETURN. If you can find it, then very quickly the whole market will pile into it. Then it becomes HIGH RISK, LOW RETURN. NO? YES?

  5. In a free market and near 24x7 real-time news flow, it is extremely difficult for retail investors to find Low Risk, High Return.
