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!

Are you really learning HOW to fish?


 Read? Are you really learning HOW to fish? 

 People take course you take course.

Some become their own shepherds and now take wool from others.

You?

Still giving wool... 

Who has got "it" and who still clueless?




After more than decade of reading investment and finance blogs of "people take course you take course".

Basically, there are two types of course available for you.

One, fishing course. They teach how to do active fishing. 

But; fishing is never easy!. 

If you can't do well in fishing; what will you do next?

You can go and take crabbing course. Crabbing is passive. Not much action is needed. You throw down your crab traps into sea and waiting patiently for quarterly or semi-annual crab's roe.

  1. CW,

    There is a 3rd way used by landowners since biblical times - they hired shepherds to look after their flock ;)

    2. CW,

      To me, there's 3 options:

      1) DIY - for those who like to fish!

      2) The "no brains needed" passive approach - your crabbing analogy.

      3) Then there's the outsourcing - the landowner way. (But need to be a good judge of people)


      To me, there's no such thing as taking a "course" on how to be a landowner (entrepreneurship). Mentoring/coaching yes. But definitely not something we can take exam and we will automatically be "entrepreneurs.

      Same for financial literacy - its not something to study and take exams, score distinctions, and we will be successful investors/traders ;)

      If it were so, then all those with MBAs and CFAs would be financially free! No?
