On why sound investing principles will always work??? (2)
Read? On why sound investing principles will always work???
Real People. Real Story on DBS!
This ex-colleague who was some time also Uncle8888's lunch kaki.
During GFC 2008/2009; he was very keen to invest bigger on DBS; but in Mar 2009 he was still waiting for DBS to reach $6 before accumulating slowly!
When the market recovered he regretted big time; but; he did learn important lesson on investing!
This time in Jan 2016; when DBS went below $15; he started to accumulate slowly using his CPF fund as he has already reached 55 (Feeling rich with his bigger War Chest? How often can we beat CPF OA 2.5% with blue chip yield?)
In Investing; Your Account Size Really Matters! - CW8888
When DBS has crossed $19; he began to divest slowly. Uncle8888 last heard that he has fully divested all his DBS.

CW,
I am sure one day DBS will trade below $19.
I also very certain DBS will trade above $30 one day.
See? I'll be right both times - if I wait long enough ;)
Everything is just one big illusion.
What's real is the money in our pockets the day we walk out of the casino.
:)

Real People. Real Story!
Uncle8888 was so surprised to hear that this ex-colleague who was so shocked by unprecedented COVID-19 crisis that he was frozen!
He did not invest a single cent into the stock market during this COVID-19 crisis!
He didn't even buy back his DBS that was completely divested above $19!
Too greedy or too fearful?
