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!

Retail Investors' Behavior in the Market: Selling their best winning stock, Re-investing into other Not-So-Best stocks or Holding on to their worst losing stocks over market cycles???



Just For Thinking ...


Over the last few years of reading so many investing blog postings and chatting in cboxes and forums; Uncle8888 has realised many retail investors are more likely to sell their best winning stocks when market turns bearish and then later "re-invest" into other stocks as it is not easy to buy back their best winning stocks due to Anchoring Effect of their last purchase price.

Their other stocks are free from Anchoring Effect so it is easier to find them as replacement stocks. But, their best winning stocks sold may prove to be the best when market finally recovers at the next market cycles.

This is something we may have to seriously think over it. Right?

    It is important to stay the course.

    Disregard the market noises.

    Trust your own (both long and short term) Proven investment judgement, over market cycles.
