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!

The Truth About Multi-bagger : Real And Illusion


Read? DBS : Sold @ $19.88

Alamak!

Sold @ $19.88 and today DBS hit day high of $22.63

The truth about holding a multi-bagger : Time in the market or timing the market?

Time in the Market

Your realized gains started off as Panadols; and after Point X, Panadols turned into Golden eggs.

Your multi-bagger is an illusion until you have realized your gains somewhere near historical high stock price; and also you have retired from the stock market and never look at the stock market  ever again. Otherwise, your multi-bagger is just an illusion of wealth in the stock market!

17 years of holding DBS

Real ROC on total dividends collected is 171%

Illusion of wealth ROC : 192%






Time in the Market and timing the Market

Timing the Market will make your multi-bagger gains real!

The moral of the story : We have to be good at time in the market and then be better at timing the market.

  2. One grand old uncle (80+) told me this. The same old uncle who held APB for XX years and lost count of how much money he has made.

    Yeap! Old uncle finally retired from looking at APB when it was sold to Thai Brev and was delisted. LOL!
