Long Term Investing Over Market Cycles Is Damn Hard!!!



You can see for yourself and then draw your conclusion.

 Total losses (realized and unrealized) over past 19 years are bigger than his investing capital since 2000 i.e. there is no capital injection over past 19 years!

 This investing capital is the bulk of his saving coming from 22 years of earned income from 1977 to 1999.

 Investing is all about Game of capital, winning and losing!

      Lucky. Can recover from big losses. If not will join the Chop Fingers camp.

      CW,

      When we started, all we can think of is to turn $1 into $10...

      Then as we survived through 1 or 2 bull/bear cycles, we realised don't let $10 turn into $1 happy liao!


      There is a capital accumulation climbing up the mountain phase, and there's a capital preservation strolling down the mountain phase ;)
