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!

There were times that I wish I did not invest


Read? There were times that I wish I did not invest


 My Singapore equity consisting of mainly blue chip stocks of the STI component stocks declined over the past weeks. As a whole, it declined 23.6% from my costs of purchases. Some stocks were bought as far back as in 2008.

 I am of the opinion that to pick stocks for investments is harder with the volatility of stock markets. After buying them, I see them declining later.

 Holding cash seems to be an option for now. If inflation is benign, then cash will not be eroded due to inflation. Sometimes one wonders whether it is far better to spend money than to invest and then see one’s investments losing values. That is the stage I am at. I have no confidence in investing right now.

 In personal investment blogosphere; we need more hobbyist bloggers like him without any vested commercial interests.

 Personal investing with our hard earned saving is tougher than we think after surfacing the cyber world coming across on daily tons of vested interests articles telling investing and trading is simple and easy. You just require their proven methods either FA, TA or FATA or HA

    Quote from Temperament: "Stocks bought from 2008/2009 should be in the money."

    Maybe starhub, sph, SembCorp, sia, capitaland, golden agri? Depends which month of 2008 too :P
    Think his overall portfolio still make money lah ... only his individual SG stocks portion disappointed.

    I think Trump still doing his art of the deal thingy. Will have to watch the show in July / August to see the outcome.
