STI ETF TSR bought at its historical highest


Even when we have bought STI ETF at its historical highest on 1 Oct 2008. It is break-even at last Friday closing stock price. Never mind the laughter from Grasshopper that we are investing long term just to break-even.

  3. You should have made some money if from 2008 till now you scale in with fixed $ buying monthly.

    Actually that is classic purpose of ETF or Indexing.

    Isn't it?

  4. CW,

    Money lost can be earned back. Time lost is forever gone.

    Well, take away 8 years from that excel sheet where one "projects" 30 years of wonderful X% compounding.

    Now with only 22 years left, the annual compounding returns % have to go up to make up for the 8 lost years right?

    How now?

    The alternative is to push back the "planned" retirement goal by a further 8 years? Just move the goal posts?
