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!

Stock futures are little changed after Dow’s worst day since 2020

The volatility in DOW hasn't infect STI yet!

STI got vaccine to protect?

Stock futures were little changed in overnight trading Thursday after the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted its worst day since 2020.

Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average were near flat. S&P 500 futures traded near the flatline and Nasdaq 100 futures ticked up less than 0.1%.

The moves came after stocks sold off sharply in Thursday’s regular session. The Dow lost more than 1,000 points and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell nearly 5%. Both indexes notched their worst single-day drops since 2020. The S&P 500 fell 3.56%, its second-worst day of the year.

Dow plunges more than 900 points for its worst day since 2020, falls for a fourth straight week

 Stocks plunged on Friday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average suffering its worst one-day loss since the throes of the pandemic, as the latest raft of corporate earnings and the prospect of rising rates spurred a wave of selling.

The Dow fell 981.36 points, or 2.8%, to 33,811.40. The S&P 500 was 2.8% lower at 4,271.78, for its worst day since March. The Nasdaq Composite declined by 2.6% to 12,839.29. Friday’s loss was the biggest for the Dow since Oct. 28, 2020.

UnitedHealth fell more than 3%, shaving more than 100 points off the Dow. Caterpillar also took out nearly 100 points from the 30-stock average, dropping 6.6% on the day. Goldman Sachs, Home Depot and Visa were also big downside contributors.

Those losses put the Dow down 1.9% for the week, its fourth straight weekly decline and its ninth losing week of the last 11. The S&P 500 posted a 2.8% weekly loss, marking its third straight one-week decline. The Nasdaq was the laggard this week, losing 3.8%.

Will uninspiring STI follow Uncle DOW big fall on Monday?

Uncle8888 smiled when he read 5. Keppel Corp: -11.4%

Finally, in fifth place is Keppel Corporation (SGX: BN4), the Singapore-based conglomerate that has interests in property, infrastructure and offshore & marine businesses.

Over the past 10 years, Keppel shares have delivered a total return of -11.4%.

During the 2010s, its offshore & marine segment was hit hard as oil prices plummeted in the middle of the decade.

See lah! It shows that investing is tale or story of hindsight wisdom, regret or sorry!

If we changed the time frame of Kep Corp to over past 20 years; then buy and hold over long term becomes buy and freehold - investment income for life!

DBS : Passive (Buy and Freehold) for passive income vs Active (Trading on Core position) for cash flow?

Read? On why sound investing principles will always work??? (2)

Time to sell DBS if you happen to follow that forum on DBS crashing to $6 by the Guru?

Your entry price for that position matters the most and there after you have options to be active cum passive on core position and that is why we MUST buy slowly when market started going down and crash and recover.

Buy and Freehold on dividends paying blue chips are more relaxing and assuring that some income will flow into our bank accounts especially when we are retirees. 

Trading on core is NOT easy as there is no sure formula. Hmm .. Okay if you believe in those investing or trading ads telling you winning formula on their methods. Go for them as course fee is cheaper than your losses! LOL!

How To Know Our Financial Independence Number And 4% Withdrawal Rule?

Read? What Next After Reaching the EDGE of Financial Independence???

Uncle8888 based on his tracking of annual household expenses to derive the number to reach Financial Independence with 4% Withdrawal rule. i.e. FI = Net worth assets excluding residential home = 25 x Highest household expenses tracked since 2002!

Somehow SARS and COVID soften the FI number based on 4% withdrawal rule. We can expect more such virus in the coming decades!

Can My 2022 GST Vouchers Really Offset 7% GST On My Personal Expenses?

GSTV - Cash : $600

GSTV - Medisave : $450

Total Uncle8888 will receive in 2022 is $1,050

Assuming personal expenses in 2022 = $14,400 or $1,200 per month

GSTV can offset  7.3% 

Assuming personal expenses in 2022 = $18,000 or $1,500 per month

GSTV can offset  5.8%

No wealth tax! No Capital Gains tax! I am OK!

LOL!
