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!

Can We Really Make Some Coffee Money From Active Investing?

2009 Year End Performance Review

Statistics Every Writer Should Know  <--- If you want to understand mean, median, stdev etc

Active Investing Performance

Since 1 Nov 08

1. ROC from 3.1% to 34.3% (I don't use stop loss so no negative ROC. Never blindly use no stop loss)
2. Holding Days from 1 to 329 days (some sins committed in 2008 were cleaned up so longer days)
3. Mean ROC: 11.2%
4. Median ROC: 8.6%
5. STDev: 7.8%
6. Mean Holding Days: 58.2

Going forward, the days of high double digit ROC are likely to be over. I will be happy to get high single digit ROC.

Your Mind plays the most important role between You and the Market and determine whether you win or lose money in the market.

Method and Money Management are just tools.  It doesn't mean that you need complex tools to make money from the market. It is those who sells tools for a living made you believe so. Similarly, you also don't need to spend days and days of digging up every possible pieces of facts and figures to analyze and justify your decisions.

Mind, Method and Money

Stock picking is part science, part art, part luck, part intuition, and always uncertain - "not precisely knowing."
