Doc's finger on the pulse of investing

Doc is the overall winner in the recent StockWhiz share investing contest organised by SGX.


Real people, Real Return in Sinagpore!






 
















He got one Zero-bagger.

Uncle8888 got two Zero-baggers.

This is the truth in investing. One day, you will really lose a big one!

Risk control and money management is more important than thinking how much money you can make from the stock market with your acquired Secret Weapons.

  1. Hey! Well done! You beat many "people" hand downs in accordance to your "Benchmarking to the Best Known Fund Managers Return"
    And you are only DIY retail investor.
    Well done.

  2. Qian bei,

    You very good angler indeed!

    I admire Peter Lynch a lot and pray I have his wisdom to know when to sell and when to quit ;)

    1) If we buy and hold long enough, we will get hit by top-down macro events like in 97 or 08... And as if not enough, when we least expected, a bottom-up zero-bagger may just jump up bite us. Ouch!

    2) Flowers won't blossom all year round. Knowing when to say enough and retire to Chang Mai with 2 virgins by my side is not too much I hope. LOL!


    P.S. New "investors" just joined the markets within these 1-2 years may scoff at your 12% return when STI has just returned 20% plus. Hard to explain until they have gone through 10 years of bull and bear market cycles themselves.
