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!

CW8888:
 
When it is too late and quite meaningless to cut losses to recover so little. Just write it and move on. This is how commercial or business does it!
 
Just that retail investors don't have the heart to write it off. It is basic accounting principle. Right?
 
Minimum we as retail investors must know this. Right?
 
 
 
 
 
3M's in Investing.
 
Method. Mind. Money Management.
 
Once we write it off and take the paper loss to make it into book keeping "realized loss"; it will affect our  investment portfolio XIRR or CAGR; but there is No cheating whatsoever. It has been rightful accounted.
 
Write it off and move on!
 
Keep worrying over it as paper losses will suck our energy!
