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!

True Investing Stories of Young Noob and Auntie Noob???


Read? Time Factor in Saving vs. Investing???


Let continue with another two true stories ..



Young Noob in his mid 20s and started trading/investing in year 2006.

He got himself educated in both TA and FA. He didn't just read books on TA; he also paid course fee to attend training by professional and graduated from School of ChartWhatEverWin.

He also mixed up around with those like-minded in forums and cboxes.


Do you need to guess what happened to his investment portfolio by Mar 2009?


No. Right?


Uncle8888 last heard from him that he has learned to stay out of market and quietly building up his new War Chest for the next Bear-Bull cycle.


Auntie Noob in her mid 30s came in 2009 to ask one question: 

"Can we make money in the stock market?"

The answer to her is Why not?

She CAME, HEARD IT, SAW IT and BELIEVE IT!


Auntie Noob doesn't really get herself educated much on TA or FA. 

Simple TA charting is still okay for her. She could understand. 

Those cheem cheem TA indicators she couldn't understand. She just stayed away from them.

She even told Uncel8888 that she doesn't bother herself with FA and reading those pages of financial statements made her "headache." 

In short, she bochap!

She just played round after round from 2009 to end 2011? or mid 2012? (if Uncle8888 remembered it correctly) on market's famous names like Semb Corp, Semb Marine, Keppel Corp, Capitaland, etc collecting round after round of profits and dividends; and smiling to the bank.

Her highest winning profits came from her 18 Rounds in Keppel Corp!


Auntie Noob may be noob in stock market but not noob in instinct!

Auntie Noob has the natural instinct as fisherman knowing that low tide you can't do fishing. She has been staying out of the stock market with 9X% cash as War Chest for the next Bear-Bull cycle.


So what is the Moral of Story?

    2. Hi Uncle CW,

      Ah... Calling uncle or auntie is a respect. No means of offence! :-)

      Just like a son / daughter in the eyes of their parents are always young teenager even if they already married with kids big enough. But that is not important, important is the mutual respect.

      You are always the uncle in blog space, and we are always teenager... Because we respect you as big uncle... Nothing to do with age.. More on wisdom.. Hahahaa

      You agree?
