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!

Hmm .. from the Cyberspace.

Chinese: 种植一棵供人乘凉的树,最好是在二十年前,但错过了那次机会,最佳的时机便是当下。


For investing 

#1 The best time to invest was last financial crisis. The second best time is next financial crisis. Any time to invest is neither good or bad! Count your luck!

  1. CW,

    I stand corrected since Chinese is my 2nd language afterall...

    But I've never heard of "种植一棵供人乘凉的树,最好是在二十年前,但错过了那次机会,最佳的时机便是当下"???


    After doing my "Trust but Verify" due diligence by googling the above saying, I only found it to be a recent saying use by investment snake oils... If we don't invest now, how they earn fees and/or commissions?


    I've only know this Chinese wisdom about trees: 前人种树,后人乘凉.

    If we google it, its backed up by 5,000 years of Chinese history ;)


    See? Just say its a "Chinese proverb or ancient wisdom" and ang mohs or those weak in Chinese will blindly accept it as "truth".

    Right off the bat, what kind of "investor" are you?

    1. Snake oils are now found largely in investment and personal finance. All sound so wonderful and powerful. Must buy one and try out! Look at integrator sites!
