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!

De-compounding Of Investment Portfolio


How many marginal retirees (NOT those spending 50% of their investment income)  seriously re-think their investing strategy to factor in de-compounding of their investment portfolio towards their last phase of their investing journey?


Time for Uncle8888 to re-think!

What is the acceptable yearly Return on Capital during de-compounding phase and how much improvement is required to sustain this ROC?

There is no free lunch in the stock market!

Average yearly ROC is 10.4%

2018 ROC as on 7 Jul 2018 is 6.4%

To accept or to improve?

  1. CW,

    Ah!

    Excellent question from left-brained, precision, black and white facing side of the coin!

    10.4% versus 6.4%; accept or to improve?


    Just to share the perspective from right-brained, grey grey, fuzzy fuzzy facing side of the coin.

    The question I had asked in the past when I began questioning my performance, "Why did I started investing/trading in the first place?"

    Yup, its about 初心 ;)

    1. Why did I started investing in Jan 2018?

      To reach FI sooner than just working for earned income.

      So how?

      Quit the Game?

      :-)

    2. CW,

      There you go!

      You reached FI status at age 60. Hence you were able to walk away.

      If not, you would be still working now. And still struggling with reaching FI "sooner" ;)


      Does that mean 10.4% you'll maintain your status as FI?

      But at 6.4% you'll slip back to non-FI status if this continues?


      Of course you will not ACCEPT slipping back to non-FI status. Hence your cash hoard ;)

      You've learnt your lesson in 2007; how it cost you trying to hit an arbitrary goal...


      Then it just leaves "improvement".

      WHY you want to "improve" regular readers know lah!

      It has nothing to do with WHY you started investing in the first place as you have shared ;)



      To your credit, you knew when to walk away (another way of saying quit). Many may not have your courage; hence they constantly move the goal posts and pretend its "continous improvement" or "kaisen".

      Don't be coy. You have quitted from the Game once before ;)

  2. Uncle8888,

    Dangerous to use average if you have outliers like +41% and -48% ;)

    Put in another way, to get 10.4% you may end up taking undue risks & volatility.

    Needs, Ability, Willingness

    If your current 3 Taps have already achieved your needs, is there a Need to push the envelope further?

    Unless there is intention to grow & pass down Tap 3 as legacy? Hoho!!

    Hmmm, carve out a portion to create Tap 4 for legacy? LOL!

    1. True. Some time it is wiser for us to deploy our cash to the level we need than we want out of the market
