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!

The Dark Side Of Investing To Become Rich That Is Seldom Revealed By Investment Bloggers!!!


Uncle, how arh?

Real People. Real Investing outcome since 2006.

Look at the year carefully and think about it!

The advantage of investing early to compound our investment and this is what many investment bloggers wrote or advocate!

Zhun bo?

He started investing (early) in 2006 and then what happen ....
 
 
 
 
 
Uncle, how arh?
 
With net losses at -45%, his current investment portfolio and together with his war chest, he will need to generate at least 60% return just to break even from current losses.
 
 
So how?
 
60% return?
 
Wait for the next market crash?

  1. CW,

    The sad truth is that with the next market crash, since he is still vested, he'll need more than 60% return to breakeven - and that's if he can "time" his warchest deployment "near" the next market bottom.

    If not, current losses multiplied by new losses, that's how capitulation occurs.


    High networth investors can sue their private bankers and investment advisors - and that's despite all the disclaimer fine print.

    But as the "investor" riding in the Comfort Delgro bus, can you afford a lawyer to seek redress?

  2. Hi CW,

    Reminds me of my own portfolio which has hardly move since 2006 but what about the dividends? If he has been consistently receiving dividends, his 'losses' won't be so bad ya.

    1. temperament,

      That's how the game is played ;)

      Young build capital; young-at-heart switch to income.

      Most of the young yield hogs have put the cart before the horse...

      10% yield on 100K portfolio is meh... One holiday in Europe money gone.

      5% yield on 1 million portfolio... Eh? Almost 4 times the payout of CPF Life Full Retirement Sum?

      Primary school math.

    2. Old money including dividends were re-invested and currently sitting on net losses. New money from saving as war chest is waiting for investing.

      Investing for compounding growth is that not easy. The dark side is seldom made known in the cyber world.

      He got King Wan @ $0.28. The lust of high yield stock but without its Panadol as painkiller. It is a real pain in the ass!

  4. Hi CW,

    So u see the solution is not to learn how to excel in investing. Rather it is to learn how to teach investing, but first, must have all ur insights and analysis seem impressive to the public... then u can verbally write how much ur passive income is without verification and w/o telling where in the first place u get ur capital. Maybe it's from ur parents hardearn money flat... Then u can start ur teaching lessons!

    Confirm plus guarantee if ur students number grow exponentially, it is going to be more juicy than the stock market returns.

    So this is called using investment to mask entrepreneurism!
