In fact not just buy and hold, but also to re-invest dividends during the initial years / decades. ;)<br /><br />Yes, buy & hold can be very taxing both on the mind as well as the pocket. LOL!<br /><br />Ideally to buy and hold with greater peace of mind, one should have at least 2-3 years' of expenses in cash / safe bonds .... or a significant cash/bonds portion e.g. 25%-40% so that won't need to sell stocks at low prices, and can also buy cheap stocks when re-balancing.<br /><br />I used to hold an expensive SG UT from 2004 till mid-2015. Actually I still use it as one of the asset class for my dual momentum portion of my portfolio...<br /><br />From the graph can see that if you are dependent on the money within 1-3 years then better not be 100% invested.<br /><br /><a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xjujdsfadSZfYyGuHmz_vkVcvdQNE8HO" rel="nofollow">Singapore large cap stocks from 1990 to 2018</a><br /><br />Btw, the STI comparison is not quite accurate as it doesn't include dividends. With re-invested dividends, the STI should be at slightly above the 400% mark instead of just at 200% i.e. over the last 28 years, over half of S'pore returns are from re-invested dividends.Spurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11824813457786462446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1602023866179666640.post-38965201006536049142018-12-06T10:32:32.035+08:002018-12-06T10:32:32.035+08:00CW,
Once again, brutal honesty from you ;)
Most...CW,<br /><br />Once again, brutal honesty from you ;)<br /><br /><br />Most retail "investors" only selective remember and see the recovery from deep unrealised losses to breakeven from Buy-and-Hold. <br /><br />Once they include the unrealised gain they have left on the table from what you have done, then Buy-and-Hold is not cheap! <br /><br /><br />If we have another 2008 event, then all the existing unrealised gains will disappear too :(<br /><br />And there goes the theoratical compounding effect :(<br /><br />Compounding only works if we are not investing to breakeven one day...<br /><br />Money lost can be recovered; time lost cannot be recovered.<br /><br /><br /><br />P.S. Unrealised gain is just paper accounting. Dividend is realised money in your pocket ;)<br /><br /><br /><br />Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1602023866179666640.post-49103201788400115432018-12-06T09:34:57.437+08:002018-12-06T09:34:57.437+08:00Once we include those What If; we will see them di...Once we include those What If; we will see them differently.Createwealth8888https://www.blogger.com/profile/08563834016250153049noreply@blogger.com
