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!

Trading/Investing - Are you winning or losing?

Value of time <---- read it if you wish

PiggyBank asked: anyone of you investors are winning or losing?

Well, it depends on the value of time - your time frame.

If you are day trader, at the end of each trading day, you will know whether you win or lose.

If you are not a day trader, probably, at the end of each month, you will either win or lose.

But, if you are die hard value investor, probably, you will have 8-10 years to know whether you make it or not.

You set your own time frame. Only at the end of the time frame, you will know you make it or not. In between you are just fine-tuning your strategies to progress towards your investing goals or depleting your wealth and working for free; or alternatively your opportunity cost is putting your money in fixed deposits.

For me, another 2.5 years will be the final answer for $1M question: What will you be in another 2.5 years:

A) Reach Financial Independence, out of rat race and become a SUPER PIG.
B) Still a PIG lost somewhere in the financial maze.
C) Revert from PIG to RAT or COW.
D) Becoming a BEGGAR
