Factually; CPF OA 65% at 2.5 % CAGR nd 35% CPFIS is already a good bond-like/stocks allocation liao!
If we are good at investing; 35% CPFIS can do wonder!
CW,
ReplyDeleteLOL!
No need use old fogey Merdeka Generation examples. Today we have quite a few examples from youths who just discovered "gravity" this year 2022 for the very first time...
Cash is rotting in the bank when what you invested in is only going up!
How many would go Hong Lim Park to protest today, if CPFIS had allowed them to "invest" in cryptos or have no caps or limits on individual stocks/funds/ETFs using CPFIS prior to 2022?
Then again, I must compliment youths of today. Most of them are taking their lumps of coal like warriors.
Most are not complaining or blaming others. No denial. Very refreshing to read the majority have acknowledged its their GREED.
These youths (those who survived) will do fine for the next bull/bear cycle. However, this time as "veterans", they will lose their edge over tomorrow's youths - they now know what to do...
Risk management is a drag on investment returns :(
Uncle8888,
ReplyDeleteThe kuai lan will tell them ... you already have 80% of your salary to play stocks. 20% is for cpf & housing. If 80% you still can't FI then even if let you use SA and Medisave to buy stocks also CMI lol.
Everytime when risk assets crash, people will revisit risk mgmt, value investing, low-volatility, Buffett-approach etc.
SSBs will be doing roaring business for rest of this year... better than CPF interest lol.
And now they are presenting: High risk, low returns; low risk, higher returns.
150 years of data ... winning by losing less.
One interesting observation is that before the setup of the SEC in 1933 & stock market regulations, it didn't pay to invest in riskier stocks at all, when the stock market was basically a wild west cowboy town.
Hence the ancient adage of upper SES people investing in bonds & property, while lower SES people trying to hit lottery wins & get rich quick went into stocks!
