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!

CW,

...... blah

Who to believe? Anyone out there bothered to "verify"? Some reporter say anything and you believe? Now we know why so many fall into scams ;)

We pick and choose the stories to help our thesis.

.. .blah blah

.............................................


CW8888: That is the issue. No proper records keeping to check and verify.


Uncle8888 by nature is tracker and computes to precision of two decimal places. This unusual behavior does have some goodness for his future generation to check and verify what Ah Kong said.

Before the days of MS Excel; he kept details in this book which no longer is use and was kept in his HDB's storeroom collecting dust.



















FD Rate at that time of FD renewal on that year.

1996 : 4.2%
1997 : 4.0%
1998 : 6% (two yrs)
2000 : 2.7%
2001 : 2.7%

      Becoz investing results take time.

      When younger, no time lah. Want quick profits ... trading, gambling, speculating.... in addition to "investing" in Toto, 4D, soccer betting...

      Counters of choice are micro-caps, penny stocks ... to huat big or go down in glory...

      Sometimes become accidental investors when didn't cut loss ... just let the counters rot lah ... after a few years may also disappear when the micro-caps become zero-caps...

      Best is many start during mid-to-late bull --- all stocks cheonging, how to lose money?? See ma, I'm so smart .... just earned 1 year of salary by trading in 3 months!! Can retire by 35 liao!!!

      After big crash & bad recession & property slump & fighting to save jobs ... how many survivors left to continue blogging & give monthly updates???

      Those who survive the cheonging days ... then kena daily grind ... responsibilities, family, elderly parents, bills, mortgage, making your boss happy, hanging on to your job, focus on promotion, etc etc .... no time to invest seriously lah...

      Hence for majority of people, I believe best approach is simply to have strong savings habit, and use proper term & shield insurance to protect against catastrophic events.

      If they later decide to be serious in investing, then they can take their time to study, dip their toes a bit, and have big war chest to deploy at big recessionary times.
