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!

Saving and Investing. Basic Difference!!!


Read? Not Interested In Investing or Too scared To Invest???

In real life, there will be some people who are too scared to invest anymore as they have tried but lost their hard earned money and even paper losses are too painful to bear with.

Read? Paper Losses Painful. Cut Losses Also Painful! So How??? (2)

There will be Evils everywhere as we can't run away from these Evils and we have to choose to live with the lesser evil and be happy with it.

You can save hard but you will face the Evil of future inflation robbing you of your accumulated wealth down the road in the next few decades. Now, you can hide; but you cannot never escape from the Evil of future inflation!

You can invest but you are going to face one more Evil who may rob your Return OF Capital while you are expecting Return ON Capital. This bigger Evil is watching you at all times in the market  so you have no choice but to do it well; otherwise you will be done by this Evil and to be killed again by the forever Evil who is waiting for you down the road!



Save only? One evil to overcome.

Save and invest. Two evils  to overcome.


So it is for you to decide on your lesser Evil!

There is no Saint in the market. So don't hope for one!

  1. From my past conversation with some retail investors; some of them still think that investing is another saving method that will help them to earn higher return.
