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!

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!

    2. 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 ;)
