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?

    It takes wisdom to know when to back off. We youngsters below 40s still got alot to learn.
