Create Wealth Through Long-Term Investing and Short-Term Trading

Dear friends of CW8888

2023-04-23T15:32:00.002+08:00

Dear friends,

My family and I would like to express our thanks for the many kind thoughts and messages extended our way over the past weeks, particularly in your generous sharing of stories and memories of our dad.

Our dad self-taught himself investing, and we still recall early days of him poring over library books to learn as much as he could about the subject. This blog has been a platform for him to share his experiences and views, and over the years had brought about much friendships, camaraderie and a healthy amount of bantering (all in good fun!)

We think that our dad had achieved most of his life goals, and we are very much proud of what he has accomplished as a doting husband, loving father, and an individual full of zest for life.

We hope that this blog remains as a resource for those seeking out views and a different perspective on investing and financial planning.

Thank you for journeying with CW8888 these past years.

Warm regards,

Jacob's daughter

(On behalf of the family)

In loving memory

Index ETF like STI ETF is nothing more than outsourcing to fund manager to do review and re-balancing every quarter based on survivorship of index components where last dying stock is replaced by the highest in the Reserve List waiting to join the Index.

Uncle8888's self indexing portfolio consists of Multi-baggers, Touchstones and Sardines.

Sardines are slowly replaced by the next batch of Sardines when opportunity rises while Multi-baggers and Touchstones are self-survival and retained for passive income. This self indexing portfolio after 2016 has then transformed into Passive Income Self Indexing during his retirement where the self index portfolio pays out 100% of its earning.

Read? Evolution or Death Of A No Stop-loss, DIY Stocks Pick : Sardines, Touchstones and Multi-baggers/Zero-baggers

Current self indexing portfolio consists of 21 components of Multi-baggers, Touchstones and Sardines.

A total of 38 stocks were removed from the self index; but some of these 38 stocks removed later became Touchstones for others. Sainz!

Rebalancing is never easy and only on hindsight wisdom that we know we are right or wrong!

Are we feeling happier, sadder, regret, sorry, immune or chopped fingers and never again walking these silly endless loops.

In investing; your account size really matters! - CW8888

Watch out for your colleagues who are investors as they can be our Influencers as our account size may not be significantly different like Monkey vs Gorilla.

Our account size difference probably is ranging from Baby monkey to Full-grown monkey; and in the worst case probably Monkey vs Chimpanzee.

I can. You can? One day we can reach the stage of Full-grown monkey. LOL!

Stop-loss, Cut-loss for Switching Horses and Position Sizing and NO Leverage! (2)

2023-01-14T11:04:00.001+08:00

Wah! Uncle8888 was very surprised when he read If I am a dividend investor, this is what I would do….

4. No earn no sell especially for dividend stock. Keep long term, no stop loss policy because point 1 is followed.

This rule is contrary to what most people would do. No cut loss policy.

I have learnt this rule from Createwealth8888. If you didn’t do any leverage/plan allocation well (Rule 3) and only buy good stocks that let you sleep well (Rule 1), there is no need for you to cut loss.

Price drop, just hold and collect dividends as Panadols. Throughout the years, treat the dividend (or simply use the Trading around Core Strategy – Rule 5 below) to reduce the average cost of your shares. The worst case is stock goes to zero or in most case, your average cost will be reduced over time.

T-Bills Using CPF OA?

Uncle8888 still not keen in T-Bills using his CPF OA.

How come like that?

4.2% beats CPF 2.5% by 1.7% hor!

Bar Bell investing strategy

With CPFIS, CPF members may be better off doing Bar Bell investing approach across market cycles by earning compounding interests at 2.5% safely during peace times and when opportunity arises; they take higher risk and moves over to the other end of the Barbell for investing return. Of course; it all depends on your investing skills; but have you put in 10,000 hours before the next opportunity arises?

Year End Review Showing Off : Earn More Save More Gorillas Vs Earn Less Save More Monkeys. Size Really Matters To Make That Difference!

2023-01-07T08:29:00.000+08:00

Read? Following someone investing idea? (2) - Refresh!

In cash investing for passive income : Earn more Save more Gorillas can show off their 6 digits dividend income to impress others! Earn less Save more Monkeys can't follow "I Can. You Can!" that is the truth! It is very difficult for Earn less Save more Monkeys to hit 6 digits passive income to show off unless one day some Earn less Save more Monkeys themselves evolve into young Gorilla or they are Super Investors who can compound their investment portfolio without year-on-year large capital injection into their investment portfolio!

In 1M65 Movement : Earn more Save more Gorillas can show off their 5 digits Interests from CPF to impress others on 1 Jan every years! Can Earn less Save Monkeys also follow "I Can. You Can"? Maybe possible!

In CPFIS investing : Earn less Save more Monkeys may have their chance to show off like Earn more Save more Gorilla in 1M65 Movement to impress others. How come? Why it is possible?

In CPF, there is a cap to mandatory CPF contributions from our jobs and also cap on any voluntary CPF Top Up so that Earn More Save more Gorillas cannot have extremely outsize CPFIS account even they are earning millions in salary and spare millions to top up CPF. Government doesn't allow Billionaire CPF members! LOL!

CPFIS is just 35% of CPFOA and that also includes CPFIS investment holding costs so our remaining CPFIS war chest is also limited after investing into the stock market.

E.g. even we have $1M in CPFOA; we can only have 350K in CPFIS account to invest. How to generate 6 digits passive income in CPFIS with $350K capital? Near mission possible?

In CPFIS investing : Earn less Save more Monkeys may have their chance to show off their 5 digits Interests from CPF on 1 Jan every years like Earn more Save more Gorillas in 1M65 Movement without having to top up a single cent to their CPF accounts.

Uncle8888 fully agreed with SundayTimes : Use Cash, not CPF if you want to invest and let your CPFIS be War Chest of Last Resort! Be happy with 2.5% compounding interests and WAIT for the next Bear to hoot!
