On why sound investing principles will always work???


Read? On why sound investing principles will always work???

 Real People. Real Story on DBS!
This ex-colleague who was some time also Uncle8888's lunch kaki.

 During GFC 2008/2009; he was very keen to invest bigger on DBS; but in Mar 2009 he was still waiting for DBS to reach $6 before accumulating slowly!

 When the market recovered he regretted big time; but; he did learn important lesson on investing!

 This time in Jan 2016; when DBS went below $15; he started to accumulate slowly using his CPF fund as he has already reached 55 (Feeling rich with his bigger War Chest? How often can we beat CPF OA 2.5% with blue chip yield?)

 In Investing; Your Account Size Really Matters! - CW8888
When DBS has crossed $19; he began to divest slowly. Uncle8888 last heard that he has fully divested all his DBS.

 -------------------------------------------

 Now; he sianz!

 Real life example of retail investing. It is never easy! Who can analyze that DBS drastically raises its dividend from past year of 66 cts to $1.20 from 2018 onwards!

 Institutions invest along with their rules and policies; but for retails it is all in their Mind and Heart!

 Less Analyzing. More Investing - CW8888

    CW,

    I am sure one day DBS will trade below $19.

    I also very certain DBS will trade above $30 one day.


    See? I'll be right both times - if I wait long enough ;)

    Everything is just one big illusion.

    What's real is the money in our pockets the day we walk out of the casino.

    :)

    Question is why did he buy just becoz DBS went below $15? It could have gone down much lower...

    Which leads to the 2nd question: Why did he start selling at $19 when its price was in uptrend? No telling when a major top for DBS will occur.

    No worries, tell him when next time there is -50% decline in STI, just buy DBS big big & throw away his broker a/c password. LOL!!
