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!

What Is Holding Me Back After Stumbling Hard In GFC 2008/2009?

Like current raging Bull in US mkt now; nothing seen stoppable!

In 2006 to 2007; Uncle8888 also felt the same; don't worry; the party is not ending and FI is coming soon!

Bull Market is likely to make us to think that we are way smarter than Mr Market; unless we have at least went through one full market cycle to validate ourselves i.e. Bull-Bear-Bull or Bear-Bull-Bear!

Beware of illusionary wealth in the Bull market till you convert the illusionary wealth into something more solid or less volatile!

In fact; in 2007 Uncle8888 was smiling to himself whenever he was thinking that he was earning more than his boss! May be his boss also earning more than his boss! LOL!

  1. CW,

    That's why veterans who have survived one full bull/bear market will have difficulty beating youths in percentage terms. Or for that matter, their former self!

    Just like that Chinese idiom about newborn tiger cubs, we were fearless starting out!!! Or-yi-or!

    Now?

    After surviving multiple body blows and cuts, we optimise instead of maximise.

    We console ourselves that earn less is better than losing money ;)

    We have our own crash got sound stories on what happens when we overstayed our welcome trying to chase that extra drop of blood in % returns...

    LOL!
