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!

Is Cash/War Chest Also A Form Of Hedging Against Market Volatility For Retirees Depending On Investment/Dividend Income?

No free lunch on hedging. Right?

More dividend income or less emotional rides?

Time in the market or timing the market?

    Hi CW8888,

    We learnt from climbing our own mountain. Cash is king if know to use it correctly with market timing.
    Investment moat has a good article on self realization with own experiences.

    Uncle8888,

    Cash is absolutely a hedge. That's why got such thing as cash drag. No free lunch lol.

    Most people don't know when to deploy cash though, or how.

    For most younger investors, it's better for their long term returns to reduce their cash hedge & rely more on time hedge. ;)

    But I guess depends on individual stomach ... some are very light sleepers. A slight wind & cannot sleep liao.

    For older folks like us (or those unemployed), yeah ... warchest / cash hedge is important!

    I have a bit of problem managing my war chest.

    Not happy to just leave the money in the bank savings account earning almost zero interest. So decided to move some of the money into S'pore Savings Bonds, and other bonds like Astrea bonds to earn slightly more returns. Once the interests started to come in, I no longer consider those money as part of my war chest! They have become part of the income generating pool.

    So now, I decided to define war chest as purely comprising the monies we have in the banks (eg. those kept in DBS Multiplier accounts, FDs and savings accounts). These still do add up to a tidy sum.
