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!

Occam's Razor in TA and FA?

Occam's Razor: "one should not increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything."

The explanation requiring the fewest assumptions is most likely to be correct.” or "Simply put, the simpler one is generally correct."
 
Yeah. To apply Occam's Razor in my stock analysis:

  • By simplifying my TA, I just look at support, resistance, price-volume actions, and trend lines.

  • By simplifying my FA, I just look at consistency in dividends and low dividend payout ratio. Dividends are real money paying out by a company, and can only be sustainable if company continues to have cold hard cash from its business. Probably, this is the only indicator in FA that really matters; anything else are just guess works by retail investors who have limited resources to do anything substantial.
