Hi Uncle8888,
ReplyDeleteIf we were Americans or Vietnamese, your ex-colleague would probably be smiling at his investments! :)
Some countries smiling, other countries crying! LOL!
A broad global index fund or ETF will have generated 4.5% CAGR (dividends reinvested) from the top of previous bull Q3 2007 till today. Not very spectacular. But many will be worse becoz they sold near the bottom in 2008 or 2009.
Unfortunately till today, no CPF-approved low cost global or S&P500 index fund or ETF. Only expensive unit trusts.
I took a look at my own performance for cash + equities for the same 11-years period --- only like 5.5%, barely better than passive global index!
Yup, not easy investing ... Oh I almost forgot .... Happy 10th birthday to the Bull, at least for S&P500 ... it hit the bear low back in 9 Mar 2009.
Which is better?
ReplyDeleteRegret of not making more or sorry of losing money?
Nvr wrong to take profit. No one can predict what is the high or low. Tio bo?
