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!

Put all your eggs into one basket???


An early morning smile after reading this by one of those investment gurus teaching retail investors in blogosphere.


How many retail investors think that they have the investing capital to accumulate up to 35 stocks in their portfolio and STILL think they are not diversified?

Don’t Put all your eggs into one basket .......

Quote : "Teng, one of Singapore’s most successful boutique fund managers, is famous for “putting all his eggs into one basket”.

During his tenure at Target Asset Management, he only invested in 35 stocks."

  1. all in or all out. the lack of conviction subjects you to the emotional wiggles of the market.
    whipsaw = wasted profit and unncecessary loss.

  2. Who is Mr Teng /Target Asset Management?

    In 2010, he returned more than $2 billion to his investors and told them he was taking a break.

  3. CW,

    It can be tough to run a business with too many cooks...

    Especially if one partner promotes permanent portfolio - by essence don't put all eggs into one basket...

    Then another partner says lets go full conviction mode and put all eggs in one basket...



    They are good people. Maybe they lack a marketing guy in their midst.

    It has to do with branding.

    The power of brands has to do with consistency of message so consumers can relate to it immediately.

    But if we muddle the message with today sell spears, tomorrow sell shields...

    A simple test is to ask consumers what's the first thing they think of if they see our brand. If customer says permanent portfolio, then anything that distracts from this mind share is just a distraction...


    If I want to give lessons on different styles of investing, I would create different sub-brands - like Dairy Farm has done with Cold Storage, Giant, 7-elevan. Same distribution network; different sales messages to different consumer segments.

    We can't use one Dairy Farm brand to attract the "attas", the budget conscious, and the convenience seekers all at the same time... This is not Lord of the Rings...

  4. from: http://awealthofcommonsense.com/2016/07/misconceptions-about-diversification/

    True diversification is about:
    Protecting you from terrible results over long time horizons (the only ones that should matter).
    Spreading your risks.
    Ensuring you can survive severe market disruptions and still be able to achieve your longer-term goals.
    Planning for a wide range of outcomes.
    Managing your investments without knowing how the future will play out.
    Reducing the probability of a large loss, but not completely eliminating risk altogether.
    Not going broke.
    Giving up on home runs to avoid striking out.

  5. for me, personally, it is about ensuring that given you are right about the general expectancy of a direction, not enough bad eggs in the omelette to spoil the taste nor send u to the hospital.
