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!

Counting The Opportunity Cost Of Rotting Cash (3)


Read? Counting The Opportunity Cost Of Rotting Cash (2)


How to count?

Assuming Uncle8888 has stayed fully invested for 5% dividend yield since he is only interested in STI blue chips from 2012 to 2028 (10 years from now). 

How much realized gains must he made before 2028 over future market cycles to break even with accumulated dividends from 2012 to 2028?

It is about 74% realized investment gains over current War Chest.

He will have to achieve at least 74% to 180% ROC over current war chest by 2028!

Not really that bad on holding larger war chest to time the market.

Current War Chest is 56% more than the initial capital at the inception of investment portfolio when he seriously began his investing journey on Jan 2000 to get out of rat race and achieving financial independence at age of 55 on Sep 2011.
