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!

Building Net Worth For Retirement : Lifetime Of Earned Income As Employee, Investment Journey Of Winning And Losing And Then Into Retirement Distribution Phase


For those who can appreciate Waterfall chart!

This one chart tells the complete story of Uncle8888 on how he has built his net worth from lifetime of earned income after tax for 39 years as employee from Aug 1977 to Sep 2016; and 18 years of investing journey from Jan 2000 till now through several market cycles of Boom and Doom suffering large losses as well.

It is a investing journey of pains, doubts, and learning!

When we lost too much in the Bear market; and we will be spending the next Bull trying to recover from large loss just to break even. Is this called investing? LOL!

Why timing the market and time in the market are very important?

When you spend too much time in the market with your stock holding BUT too little cash on hand in the Bear market; you are going to cry sooner!

Dividends are just Panadols to ease your heartache and headache!

  1. CW,

    Few tell the "truth" like you do ;)


    Some others also share this "truth" obliquely through their yearly capital injections into their portfolios - and that's the biggest source of their compounding growth!

    The rest is if you don't ask, I don't say ;)

    1. The fastest known way to break even is to regularly inject capital into investment portfolio.

    2. That's why must measure ROI! Portfolio figure does not tell the full story.

  2. Alamak ... don't remind me .... I spent 2009 till 2012 getting back to breakeven ... I'd still call it investing. Although it felt more like slog-vesting LOL!!

    Talking about time & markets ... I discovered since 2010 that there is an optimal amount of time for me (my mind) to spend in the markets i.e. analyzing & studying etc. Too much overthinking & I tend to underperform. Just go with the flow & focus on the big stuff & I do ok. So it's been a case of think less ... make more... LOL!!
