Many people think that they are God of Investing.
I am the God of Investing!
To do so, I can simply do stock picks of individual stocks, in distress or great potential to goes up in future. Then I can get 100% or 1000% gain within a year, then can just compound and be super rich! I can easily buy the next Amazon and Apple while they are very low market CAP and earn to the max!
Many people think they that they are the God of Investing!
They would beat the market return and most often, they really do for some times, and they really do. They beat the market, use a rod to beat up the market.
They laugh and think they can beat the index return, beating those who are satisfied with low return of 4-7% return in “safe” Singapore dividend stocks.
Then laugh at others with low 4-7% annual return. Have Fun Staying Power!
Yes, they are the God of Investing…
But Karma will come by one day. One bad trade and one lose all!
Truth
The truth is often otherwise.
One maybe has newbie luck to win the markets over a few trades, but could one do it in the long run? |
If yes, everyone in the world will be already Warren Buffett.
I can safely say that majority of the investors (90%) would be better with either of these two approaches.
- Those who prefer regular cashflow: Invest in super “safe SG stocks“ that give 3-7% dividends stock with very minimal risk of capital. Of course this has country risk. But one can just collect dividends and chill every year. Better for your mental with regular cashflow. After dividends come in, go back and invest more to compound further. Of simply do ETF investing that given some dividend returns for those who are not sure how to pick “safe” stocks. (Can go read this post by Dr Tii).
- Those who believe in the regular improvement of the world: Invest in world index fund like VWRA using DCA method and hope that the end of the world will not come and things always goes higher eventually given the human nature of keep improving things.
Learn investing from courses? Unpopular Opinion.
One more thing, more those who think they can become great investors after attending courses for few hours or days, think again.
Many of us attended decades of school from Primary, Secondary, JC, Poly, University. Dig your memories: For a simple academic knowledge that we need to learn like Mathematics (e.g. Calculus), how long did you learn it? Did you learn and Master it within just a few lessons? really?
Likewise, attending classes for investing for few hours, or few days would not make you a super better investor.
If this really so, why there are so many lousy investors around? Attending Courses simply make your course instructor rich! If they are so good in the first place, they would rather spend time doing their own investing/trading instead, why waste time teaching you?
The reason is simple: You are their consistent cash cow.
Anyway, if you still wish attend courses, you can join my course for free via

Money just buy you the chance of freedom but can’t buy back time. In life, there is no reset button. Time is limited but money is not.
When you are young and working, you exchange time for money. When you are old, you can have lots of money but you can’t buy time back, especially the things that you have missed (your strong health, time with young child) while busying striking out in career.
Your kids grew up and they no longer need you to accompany them. They no longer want to sit on your lap to share/do things with you…all these time you spent in your 9 to 6 or even longer cubicles…can the money that you have earned by you back these?
We always thought we have more time with our old parents, but we are wrong. Time with them is ticking away every day. One day it will suddenly be gone. There is no regret medicine, no reset in time. Gone is gone and cannot come back. No matter you are billionaires or millionaires, you cannot reset this.
We always thought that we have more time with our spouse every day, but we are wrong. One day they will be gone too. When you read this, please go tell your spouse that you love him/her and he or she is the best thing that you ever had in your life.
Love your life daily. You have one less day with your spouse, parents, children and yourself. Time is ticking away.
