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.
I retired from looking at DBS after grabbing it in 2008 and have never look at it again. Lol.

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