Not Anguish Over Paper Losses???



Let Get Real!

Not just anguish; sometime it may be depressive too!

Paper losses are RELATIVE to our account size and net worth. 

Large % drop on paper losses relative to our net worth can be anguish or depressive!

Look closely at icons. It is exactly Uncle8888 felt about his paper losses. 

Best is to avoid getting into large paper losses and anguish no more!

  1. Doesn't sound very "passive" to me...

    Like the duck trying its best to look cool and clam above the waterline - Look! more passive income coming in this month!

    But beneath the water peddling like mad :(

    We see what we want to see ;)

  2. Above water is passive. Under water is anguish or depressive. LOL!

  3. Shhh....

    You spoil market!

    Other people doing their best to spread sunshine and blue sky scenario... Steady this, ai zai that.

    Putting a nice spin that just as long we have candies every month, all is well! (Just don't peek below the waterline)

    You have to come along and tell the truth that its candy only when you are still in the money. If suffering paper losses, those are panadols :(

    Not making life easy for sunshine cheerleaders like me!

    $@@$^*(*^%##$^!

    LOL!

    Remembering reading somewhere. Truly passive income happens ONLY when we spend on our Interests on Interests for our household living expenses.

  7. Some fund managers ride through the cycle and emerge stronger after the storm.

    So, it is very much depends on one's investment goal and objective.

    2. Don't have any illusion that blue chips sure can recover. Blue chips may become blue-black chips and may not recover.

  8. So investment in stocks is actually like a psychological game. It is not only how good u can analyse a stock, but also how to control yourself. Patience, calm, composed....

    I think it's better to do a "mind stress test!" what if my portfolio down 50%, I loose my job, my property money no enough to pay mortgage etc etc
